Find an after school nanny in The Plains, VA

Hi there! Nice to meet you! My name’s Lauren and I’m looking forward to working with your family. Here’s a bit about myself: I have years of experience working with children ages 1-10 as a babysitter, nanny, and I also previously worked as 4th and 5th grade elementary school teacher in Fairfax County. As I care for your child, I’ll make sure they are happy, engaged, and safe! Currently and more recently, I am working with children 1-4 years old. Currently, I am taking a break from teaching and do private tutoring as well as babysitting. Please feel free to let me know any routines you follow, any likes/dislikes that your child may have, or anything you'd like to share with me. During care of your child, I'll respond to your calls/texts right away. I'm open to do a video call to introduce myself if you prefer that as well. Hope to hear from you! :) -Lauren

Hi! I’m a Physician Assistant (PA) student finishing my first year with over five years of babysitting experience caring for children of various ages. In addition to babysitting, I have hands-on pediatric healthcare experience and am certified in both Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), giving families added peace of mind. I strive to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading books, helping with homework, or spending time outdoors. I’m also a huge dog lover and am more than happy to care for your furry family members as well, whether that means letting them out, going for walks, or giving them plenty of attention. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while making sure your children (and pets!) are happy, safe, and well cared for.

I have hands-on experience providing care for children, seniors, and pets, as well as helping with household tasks. I’ve worked in caregiving roles where I supported daily routines, provided companionship, and made sure the people in my care felt safe, comfortable, and respected. I also have experience helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized home environment. What makes me a great caregiver is my patience, kindness, and strong sense of responsibility. I genuinely care about people’s well-being and always try to create a calm, positive, and supportive environment. I am very attentive to detail, reliable, and able to stay calm in stressful situations. I also enjoy building trust and strong relationships with the people I care for, whether they are children, seniors, or pets. I’m naturally nurturing, compassionate, and hardworking. I take pride in being dependable and going above and beyond to make sure others feel supported and cared for.

Hello, my name is Isabel and I have recently graduated from high school. I’m planning on going to JMU in the fall. I’ve had experience with watching kids and animals since I was in 7th grade: I grew up babysitting by taking care of the younger members of my family, even if I was still a baby then, too! I love babysitting and I’d be more than willing to help out with groceries, chores, drive around the kids, or even help with cooking if needed. I am CPR certified, Stop The Bleed certified, and I recently became a CCMA (certified medical assistant) certified. I’d make sure that your children have a fun (yet safe!) time with me. Thank you for your consideration!
