Find an after school nanny in Merrifield, VA

Hi, I’m Ashton! I’m a career nanny/family assistant who believes every day with kids should have a mix of structure, laughter, and a little bit of adventure. With over ten years of experience, I’ve worked with families through just about every stage — from baby snuggles and nap schedules to homework help and after-school chaos — and I genuinely love it all. Over the years, I’ve worked with families long-term, managing everything from daily routines and after-school schedules to travel, household coordination, and family logistics. Whether it’s planning enriching activities, helping with school projects, or keeping things organized behind the scenes, I bring a thoughtful, steady presence to every home I’m part of. I’m originally from Alabama but now call the D.C. area home. When I’m not with my nanny families, I’m usually traveling (I’ve checked all 50 states off my list!), at a concert, or hanging out with my fiancé and our Goldendoodle, Rui.

Hi! My name is Luisa and I am looking for opportunities to nanny! I am 28 years old, I’m from Colombia. About me: I consider myself as a happy, efficient, organized, respectful, kind, and tolerant person, because I want to help in everything I can and the idea of giving the best of me, to the children and be helpful to the parents. Also, I am CPR/First Aid. I have a car and a clean driving record.

Hello! I have been teaching and caring for kids ages 18 mos-16 years for more than 25 years. I have two kids of my own who are school age, and have experience in caring for infants and pets as well. I have taught academics, social emotional skills, reading, music, dance, cooking, yoga, sports, fitness and art. I am CPR/IED/EpiPen certified and very safety conscious. I’ve cleared multiple background checks the past four years and can take another if needed. My style is nurturing and firm, structured but appropriately flexible. I’m a strong believer in play based learning, reading and singing daily. Mary Poppins is my role model! I make record keeping and parent/family communication a priority, to ensure trust and accountability are established and maintained. I provide a brief written summary of each child’s day/week and send photo/video updates during the day.

Hi! I’m a dependable and experienced caregiver with 9 years of hands on childcare experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a variety of roles from babysitting and tutoring, to leading groups of kids at summer camp and afterschool programs. I’ve cared for children who are up to 16 years old (mostly school aged children aged 5-12), and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, making dinner, cleaning up, putting them to bed, heading out to the park, or even binge watching their favorite movies on repeat (you would not believe how many times I’ve seen The Minions movies lol), I’m there with patience, energy, and a smile. I’ve also worked as an in home tutor for five years, specializing in Chinese, English, and math, which means I’m well versed in keeping kids focused and engaged academically, too. In addition to childcare, I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with five pit bulls in my home and have always been comfortable around pets of all kinds. I’ve petsat for friends and family, sometimes for up to two months at a time; making sure their pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while they were away. Families know me as approachable, responsible, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of the kids and pets I care for. I bring heart, structure, and flexibility to every home I step into, and I’m always ready to help however I can.

Hi, my name is Charlotte, and I am looking for families who need date-night sitters or someone to call when needed! I am a college sophomore from Richmond, VA.

I don't have a car, but I am happy to take public transportation. I do have a valid driver's license and am comfortable driving a provided car. I also have my RedCross First Aid/CPR/AED certification. With my families in Richmond, I always ensure that the kids are entertained, happy, and safe. I love making art and crafts, I will happily play any game or sport with the kids I sit with, I love going on walks and spending time outside, and dance parties are a must too! I'm very flexible and easy! Please feel free to reach out!
