$30 per hour for 1 child

I work as a nanny for over 9 years , my last job I was almost 4 years with the family , they are diplomats , I took care of a couple of 1 year and 2 months old twins and another 4 year old boy . I took care of the children , I organized clothes , I took the older boy to and from school , I took care of the twins full time , we did activities on the street and we went to the playground . I have a letter of recommendation. I am very punctual with schedules and tasks. I can travel with the family if they need to. I can be alone with the children if the parents want to travel alone, as my old bosses travel a lot and left me alone with the children. My last family as a nanny I worked for four years, 2021- 2025 watching twins and an older one. I just left the family end of January this year, but I still doing some work the family as they need. I just left the family because I started college class full time and I couldn’t be full-time nanny for them.

Great experience! My kids love her!

Emma $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, and I'm finishing my first year at NOVA. I offer childcare mainly, as well as pet care and errand assistance when needed. I spent a year as a full-time teacher’s aide in a 2–3 year old classroom, and I've been babysitting/tutoring elementary and middle school children since I was 16. I’m especially looking to earn more experience with infants (3 months–2 years). I love babies and have cared for infants in the past, but I’m hoping to build more consistent, hands-on experience. I enjoy keeping kids engaged—whether it’s short outdoor play, art, dancing, or building activities. I’ve worked with tantrum-prone toddlers and know how to stay calm, patient, and professional. I aim to create a fun, safe space where kids feel seen and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Occoquan, VA

I have been caring for children including my own even before Care & Sitter came around. I cared and sat for many children starting from 3 months to 6 year old. I take my services very seriously and I care for children with professionalism. If you are looking for someone who has a lot of patience and dedication looking after your loved ones please know that they will be in the right hands

We had a wonderful experience with Yulissa! She was punctual, very communicative, and immediately engaged with our 5 year old son when she arrived. He felt comfortable with her right away and absolutely loved spending time with her! She was very kind, attentive, helped with my son’s bedtime, and kept us updated throughout the night. I would highly recommend Yulissa to any one and would absolutely love to have her babysit for us again!

Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Samantha! I’m a junior at William & Mary and am offering babysitting services for families with up to three children. As a caregiver, I prioritize safety, kindness, and mutual respect. I’ve been babysitting for nearly 5 years and am experienced with children ages 9 months and above. I’ve been employed by families with up to four children and with neurodiverse children. I’m looking for short-term work opportunities while back home in Northern Virginia. I’m available until late June, when I leave for a study abroad program in Europe. I’m happy to run errands, cook/prep meals, and do light housekeeping tasks. I have my own car and am CPR and first-aid certified. Most pets are ok (I love cats especially!) but please no high-energy big dogs!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
