Find a babysitter in Annandale, VA

Hi! I’m Ava. I am in my early full time career following graduating college in 2024. Growing up as the oldest kid on my street by about 10 years & my mom being a full time nanny, I have plenty of experience working with children of all ages and behaviors. I have long been the go-to for my community in Northern Virginia, and I’m excited to spend my free time doing the same in the DC area. Aside from babysitting, I’ve spent 4 summers as a full time nanny to two different families with children ranging from 3 to 11. Before I kicked off my full time marketing career, I worked in marketing for a summer camp in DC, where I quickly became many parent’s point of contact and go-to when children needed additional support. I make a conscious effort to lead my childcare approach with empathy & patience and it is something I have so much fun doing. Looking forward to supporting parents in the DC community!

Hi! I'm Ellie, a graduate student at American University with a passion for working with children and animals. Growing up as the oldest of five siblings with four younger brothers, I've always been surrounded by kids and have developed a natural ability to connect with them. I've spent the past several years working in various childcare and youth program roles, from managing an after-school elementary program to coordinating middle school activities through the Parks and Recreation department of my hometown, Kalamazoo Michigan. I love creating engaging, educational experiences for kids while ensuring they feel safe, heard, and excited to learn. I offer comprehensive childcare, petcare, and household services. This includes everything from babysitting and tutoring to dog walking and pet sitting, as well as light housekeeping, meal preperation, grocery shopping, and running errands. I have my own car and am comfortable with flexible scheduling. I have extensive experience with toddlers and elementary - middle school aged children. I spent a year helping manage an elementary after school program where I led activities, assisted with homework and reading, and implemented a positive behavioral reward system. For middle schoolers, I've assisted with bowling and archery programs. I also managed a community pool for four years where I regularly interacted with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, and supervised summer camp groups. I love combining creativity with physical activity! I enjoy arts and crafts projects like painting, drawing, and photography, as well as singing and playing music. I'm also passionate about getting outside, whether its going on nature walks, playing active games, or just exploring the neighborhood. Reading together, helping with homework, and playing board games are also some of my favorites. I've had dogs my whole life and have pet sat for my family's dogs countless times. I have experience with several breeds including Havanese, Schnauzers, Labs, Airedales, and Poodles. I've also handled exotic animals like turtles, snakes, bearded dragons, and even alligators, while working for an alligator sanctuary! Having recently moved to the DC area from Michigan, I'm excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to local families who need caring support. I'm reliable, responsible, and genuinely care about fostering a safe and fun environment for kids and pets. I'd love the opportunity to be someone you can count on!
