Booked by 1 family in Falls Church, VA

Hi, my name is Jennifer Vo and I graduated from the University of Virginia in May 2025 and I am working a full-time job. I am free after 6pm in the Tysons-Alexandria area and offering childcare services. I absolutely love working with kids! I know they can be a handful sometimes, but with the right patience, they're absolutely a joy. I have babysat for over 5 years and I've worked with kids of all ranges, including infants, toddlers, and kids. My responsibilities have been driving them to and from places, making them dinner, bathing them, and putting them to sleep, and taking care of them up to 9 hours.

Hello! My name is Abby, I’m 27 years old and I have lived in DC for the last 5 years! I moved here from Wisconsin in 2020 to earn my Master’s in Political Science at American University which I got in 2022, and currently work at the Administration for Children and Families at HHS. I’ve been at HHS for the last 3 years, and previously worked on the Hill and in campaigns. I have experience watching children from infancy to pre-teens, and love working with all age groups! Additionally, I have a bachelor’s in psychology with a focus in child/adolescent and social psychology, and worked full time in a daycare while in college with toddlers-school aged children. I am a pet lover, and have a dog of my own! I have access to a car, and a clean driving record. I love to cook, read, play games and craft, and will do all the above with your children so they have fun and are stimulated! I always follow parental guidance on screens and technology, and am more than happy to keep your kids off them and keep them entertained through play and creativity! As I do work a full time job, I am mostly available on weekends and the occasional weeknight evening after 6:30pm.

Abby was great! My kids gave rave reviews. She was communicative, punctual, and very sweet. We will definitely use her again.

Booked by 3 families in Falls Church, VA

I got most of my experience from raising my three kids, boy and 2 girls, and all of them are in the college now. I always loved being surrounded with children even before having my own. so after graduating from college I worked as a pre-school teacher for 2 years in my country where I enjoyed creating fun activities for children, playing with them. As a mom, spending time with my kids was and still so precious to me, and I assure you that I will treat your kids and take care of them like they were my own. I work part time and my work schedule is pretty flexible, I am available on Thursday and on Sunday at anytime and some days early morning and in the afternoon too , I will be more than glad to help in taking care of your kids, like dropping off & picking them up from school, playing outside with them, reading stories, playing board games, and helping them with their homework, I have Adult, Children, Infant, Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification, and I am Covid vaccinated. * “References Available Upon Request”

We had a wonderful experience with Fatima. She arrived on time and was very friendly. My son has a hard time when we leave and she handled it really well. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Emma 1 review

Hi - My name is Emma and I'm offering childcare, pet services, and household services. I have babysat ages 6 months-13 years since I was 16 and I worked as a camp counselor for several years. I work in the science and space sector and enjoy sharing space facts along with conducting science experiments! I was also a studio art minor in college, so I love doing arts and crafts with kids. I grew up with two cats and two dogs that I adore and miss very much, so I am happy to care for any animals — the more the merrier! I am also offering household services, including cleaning and organizing.

We’ve had a great experience with her. She’s extremely professional, always punctual, and immediately connected with our kids — ages 11, 3, and 5 months. She keeps each of them engaged at their level, handles routines smoothly, and we feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Highly recommend.
