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!

Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Natalie, and I am offering childcare services part-time! I have over 40 years of experience. I love working with infants & young ones. I had this family that I worked for 30 years that I started when their first child was 2mos. old & had their 2nd after 2yrs. Kids grew up with me & believe it or not, I still worked for them part time coz’ they don’t want to let me go. I speak Tagalog as well as English, and I hope to be a stress reliever when it comes to leaving your child at home!

Hi Families! I’m Daisia and my background in Child Development & Family Studies, paired with my hands-on experience with children of all ages-from infants to adolescents-has shaped a genuine love for what I do. I’ve worked with multiples, including twins, and truly enjoy creating a supportive, engaging environment for children to grow and thrive. It would be a pleasure to join your family and team.

Daisia was great! Prompt, communicative, caring, and easygoing. My 2yo daughter got along with her instantly.

"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!"
