Joselyn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a pediatric nurse with nearly 2 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and safety-focused in any situation, and I genuinely love working with kids both in and outside of the hospital setting! I bring a fun, patient, and nurturing energy to babysitting while also having strong clinical knowledge—so you can feel confident your child is in capable hands. I’m comfortable with routines, meal prep, homework help, bedtime, and caring for children with varying needs. Whether you’re looking for occasional help or a consistent sitter, I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for your child every time. I’d love to support your family!

Booked by 1 family in Dunn Loring, VA

Nickname (preferred): Vicky I have many amazing experience with young children (toddler+), my true love is pup care!! In the past decade I've dog cared for dogs old and young, social and antisocial, and those between homes. In order to give each pup the unique care and experience they deserve, I primarily care for pups one at a time, and only those with whom I can form a genuine bond. Lunchtime and after work walks are my favorite, 1-2x/wk. Regularly scheduled care is preferred. I am fully employed but work from home, and so have flexibility. Whether you have a yard, live in an apartment, or need your pet crated, your pet will always be safe and sound in my care.

The best sitter I ever had, dependable, very caring, and attending to all needs. Highly recommended.
