Booked by 1 family in McLean, VA

Hello there! My name is Brenda, and I’m from Colombia. I’m excited to share that I’m offering childcare services. I’ve been working with children for eight years now, and I’m currently a nanny in Arlington, Virginia. I’m taking care of three boys who are 10, 12, and 13 years old. Before this family, I had the privilege of caring for a baby who was just 10 months old. I took care of him until he was 2 and a half years old. I’ve gained a lot of experience with children. I had worked with really good families that they’ll happy to give you references about my job and my personality. Usually my responsibilities are only about the kids like, cook, drive, play, do crafts and to tutoring.

“Brenda was my children’s nanny for the summer (boy, 9, and girl, 6). Brenda was absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough! She was punctual, professional, and very engaging with the children. She was responsible for getting the kids ready for the day, making them meals, driving them, and playing with them – among other things. My kids loved playing both indoors and outdoors with Brenda. They did a variety of fun activities, including arts/crafts, games, and going to the pool. I should add that my children’s father and I recently separated, and Brenda went back and forth between our two homes seamlessly. The kids had a terrific summer with her, and I highly recommend her as a nanny and babysitter.”

Hi! My name is Gayatri and I'm a babysitter with ~10 of experience with children ages 1 - 14. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics and Creative Writing from UNC Chapel Hill (class of 2014) and currently work in Georgetown in branding / communications for non-profits and foundations. In my free time I like to read, write fiction, and cook! I love babysitting because it's fun -- I love getting to know children over games, arts and crafts, homework, and playing with their friends. I have experience working with boys and girls and enjoy babysitting actual babies as well as older school-age children :) I'm looking forward to meeting your family!

Booked by 3 families in McLean, VA

Hi! My name is Flor, I am 28 years old, and I have been caring for children since high school. I have experience with kids from 3 months to 12 years old, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I was previously an Au Pair and I am currently working as a nanny. I have CPR and First Aid certification, I have a valid work permit, and a driver’s license. I am a very loving, patient, and responsible person. I like to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I can help with homework, play activities, and daily routines, including diaper changes, bottle feeding, and all baby-related care. I can cook a variety of meals for the children and I am also comfortable preparing meals for the whole family. I also help with children-related tasks such as laundry, washing and folding clothes, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I always follow parents’ instructions carefully and make sure everything runs smoothly. I would love to support your family and take great care of your children! ☀️🌷🌻

“She has done an excellent job caring for twins, showing great patience, organization, and attentiveness. Managing two children at the same time requires responsibility and experience, and she handles it very professionally. She is reliable, punctual, and always attentive to the children’s safety and individual needs. She creates a caring and fun environment while maintaining routines and staying calm under pressure. Her ability to multitask and provide quality care to both children at once truly reflects her skills and professionalism as a babysitter.”

Sergio $22 per hour for 1 child

Hey Prospective Family I am Sergio; I am an elementary teacher. I moved from Florida where I worked for a family for just over 3 years, as their Au Pair and then became their full time nanny. Have seen the kid I look after go from Elementary all the way to Middle school. My last job was working for family driving there two boys around two different activities throughout the week, and before that I was working for a family during the week, looking after 2 girls aged 7 and 10. They are like a family to me and I still keep in contact them. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, from personal babysitting to working at my local church's children's ministry and daycare. Most recently, working for a family as an Au Pair for 3 years now, and then became their nanny full time while studying full time as well. I do homework, do school projects, and cook meals, as some of my duties. I don’t mind taking care of cats and walking a dog. I like working with kids because I've always thought working with children is essential; you are formulating minds, minds that will go on to do incredible things. In my spare time, I like to read. I go to a coffee shop and do some college work or read. I love going to museums, whether history or art. I love being in the kitchen; I like cooking and trying new recipes but prefer baking more. My skills include good with homework, excellent driving record, and caring.
