Find a babysitter in Alexandria, VA

Hello! My name is Imee. I'm caring, patient, and reliable person who truly enjoys being around children. I come from a very family-oriented background and have experience caring for kids through family care, including my nieces and nephews. I'm happy to offer childcare and household services, and i enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly. I can assist with light household tasks such as tidying up, laundry, organizing, and simple meal preparation, in addition to caring for your child. When caring for children, I love engaging them in creative and calm activities such as painting, drawing, simple arts and gentle play. I believe these activities help children feel relaxed, happy and supported. I'm currently looking for a part-time, weekday-only position (no weekends) and would love the opportunity support your family for a few hours a day.

I would describe myself as an outgoing, energetic, responsible and overall patient individual. I enjoy working with children, as I believe they are our future! I also believe that working with children provides an opportunity to discover a new purpose everyday! While nothing is going to come easy, the gratification I feel breaking through to a child and seeing their face light up with that “ah ha” moment is worth it. I have been working with children for the majority of my life. As of right now, I work for a caregiving service that specializes in the care of children with special needs, called Cambrian Homecare, and have been here for about 3 years. If you allow me the chance to work with your kids, you have my word that I will keep them safe! As well as treating them with respect and care.

With over 12 years of professional childcare experience, I have supported children from infancy through adolescence by creating safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environments. My approach blends structure, compassion, and intentional teaching, ensuring children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to grow. In addition to hands-on childcare, I serve as a positive role model, consistently demonstrating emotional regulation, patience, communication skills, and respect. I help children develop strong routines, social skills, independence, and confidence through age-appropriate activities and consistent guidance. My background as a bilingual teaching assistant, combined with training including 40-hour RBT coursework and CPR/First Aid, allows me to support children with varying needs, learning styles, and temperaments. I model kindness, empathy, responsibility, and problem-solving while maintaining clear expectations that promote healthy development. Overall, I provide a blend of gentle leadership, educational support, and emotional stability, helping children feel valued, capable, and inspired to be their best selves. I have also served as a household manager for 6 years. As part of my responsibilities I managed daily operations, overseeing household staff (cleaning services, contractors, maintenance workers), and signing relevant documents while keeping a copy for record documentation. In addition, handled grocery shopping and inventory; meal planning/preparation when needed based on preferences and specific requests. Furthermore, I kept household supplies inventory (cleaning, office, laundry, tools and equipment, paper and waste products, etc). Ensured to drop off & pick up packages; as well as the drop off and and pick up of dry clean clothes. Finally, I was responsible for scheduling car cleaning services, filling up the tank whenever needed and taking the vehicle to the dealership, or preferred service center for maintenance.
