Hi, my name is Kayeann and I have been working as a nanny for 41 years and I love what I am doing. Children are a blessing to work with in my eyes, I adore working with newborns through five years old because that is the most important years of their lives. During the first five years children are a sponge and learn so much. Children over all are just a pleasure to work with. I love working with the future of the world and inspiring them to be the best they can be.
Hi! I’m Stavroula (Lula for short!). I recently graduated from George Washington University and will be starting my master’s program this fall. I’ve always loved working with children and have years of hands-on experience caring for my two younger twin brothers while growing up, as well as babysitting many of their friends. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, reading stories, or just finding creative ways to stay entertained, I love keeping children engaged. I’m also happy to prepare simple meals, help with light housekeeping related to the kids, and assist with bedtime routines when needed. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I take pride in being responsible, reliable, and attentive. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the best care possible!
Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer and I currently live in Vienna. I currently work full-time, but I love babysitting on the side! I have the option to work remotely from home so I am available to take babysitting jobs right after work and on weekends! I absolutely LOVE kids and I have a lot of experience babysitting kids of ALL ages (1-10). For reference, I used to babysit for a family with 3 kids (ages 1, 4, 6). I babysat them every week for 6 months. I would also watch their dog while I was there. I would cook for them, play with them, read to them, and go though their bedtime routine. We would also do fun stuff like have read books, sing songs, draw pictures, and play games! I also used to babysit a 8 month old boy every Monday, Wednesday, Friday every week for a year. I would be with him 8 hours a day. I would take him on stroller walks, change his diapers, put him to bed for naps, cook/feed him, etc. I would also watch and take care of their puppy on the job. Now that I have a full time job, I still love babysitting when I can! I am also very good with dogs and animals! I have a dog if my own, named Bella, and I have experience taking care of the family’s dogs while babysitting. Please do not hesitate to reach out!
“Jennifer was great! So kind and communicative, and our daughter took to her right away. Highly recommend! ”
Hi! I’m Ella a reliable, patient, and caring babysitter with years of hands-on experience. As the oldest sibling, I naturally stepped into a leadership role early on, helping with homework, meals, routines, and keeping the house running smoothly. I’ve also worked in elementary schools providing after-school support, supervising activities, organizing games, and helping students stay engaged and safe. I’m great with children of all ages and bring a calm, positive energy to every home. I can help with homework, creative play, bedtime routines, simple meal prep, and keeping kids entertained without screens. I’m also happy to help with light chores, such as tidying, dishes, laundry, and basic household organization — whatever makes your day a little easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet sitting and pet care, including feeding, walks, litter changes, and keeping your pets comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets, so your animals will be in safe hands too.

I’m Usha! I’m reliable, caring, and love working with kids. I enjoy planning fun activities, helping with routines, and making sure children feel safe and supported. Families can count on me to be on time, dependable, and attentive. A little about me, I live in the Reston community, love being active, and also have a sweet dog named Theo, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I’d love the chance to bring positive energy to your family and make life a little easier while giving your kids a fun and safe experience.
