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!

Abigail $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Abigail and I am currently a full-time undergraduate student at American University. I will graduate in May 2026 with a degree in Justice and Law and a minor in Spanish language. I have experience working with children of all ages. I've worked as an au pair overseas with a child with autism and down syndrome. I've also been an au pair for an infant so I am comfortable with babies as well. I worked for some years at a martial arts school assisting children ages 4-17. I have tutored a class before and am comfortable with any school work assistance needed. I know CPR and was previously certified. And I am fluent in Spanish. As for pet care, I've had all sorts of animals my entire life and would love to watch any pet you have with the upmost care. I am comfortable watching dogs, cats, small rodents, fish, reptiles, etc. I love all animals! I am kind and patient and would love for you to consider me as your future caretaker! Please do not hesitate to reach out.

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
