Find infant babysitters in Merrifield, VA

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!

Hi! I'm Ellie, a graduate student at American University with a passion for working with children and animals. Growing up as the oldest of five siblings with four younger brothers, I've always been surrounded by kids and have developed a natural ability to connect with them. I've spent the past several years working in various childcare and youth program roles, from managing an after-school elementary program to coordinating middle school activities through the Parks and Recreation department of my hometown, Kalamazoo Michigan. I love creating engaging, educational experiences for kids while ensuring they feel safe, heard, and excited to learn. I offer comprehensive childcare, petcare, and household services. This includes everything from babysitting and tutoring to dog walking and pet sitting, as well as light housekeeping, meal preperation, grocery shopping, and running errands. I have my own car and am comfortable with flexible scheduling. I have extensive experience with toddlers and elementary - middle school aged children. I spent a year helping manage an elementary after school program where I led activities, assisted with homework and reading, and implemented a positive behavioral reward system. For middle schoolers, I've assisted with bowling and archery programs. I also managed a community pool for four years where I regularly interacted with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, and supervised summer camp groups. I love combining creativity with physical activity! I enjoy arts and crafts projects like painting, drawing, and photography, as well as singing and playing music. I'm also passionate about getting outside, whether its going on nature walks, playing active games, or just exploring the neighborhood. Reading together, helping with homework, and playing board games are also some of my favorites. I've had dogs my whole life and have pet sat for my family's dogs countless times. I have experience with several breeds including Havanese, Schnauzers, Labs, Airedales, and Poodles. I've also handled exotic animals like turtles, snakes, bearded dragons, and even alligators, while working for an alligator sanctuary! Having recently moved to the DC area from Michigan, I'm excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to local families who need caring support. I'm reliable, responsible, and genuinely care about fostering a safe and fun environment for kids and pets. I'd love the opportunity to be someone you can count on!

Hi! I’m an Atlanta native with lots of experience caring for kids and pets. I’ve babysat for teachers, my nephew, and other families, and I recently worked as a teaching fellow for middle school students. I love getting to know kids, helping them learn, and keeping them engaged. I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple summers, including travel-based programs, which strengthened my ability to adapt to new environments and manage group dynamics. In addition, I’ve served as a peer mentor for three years, supporting younger students through guidance and encouragement. These experiences have deepened my understanding of children’s needs and how to support them with patience, structure, and attentiveness. I’m patient, observant, and good at matching kids energy, whether they’re super active or a little shy. I also volunteered at a Dementia Care Center, where I used art to connect with older adults, so creativity is a big part of who I am. My cultural awareness is another aspect of my personality. I enjoy arts and crafts, staying active, and practicing my Spanish (I’m an intermediate speaker). I also grew up with a Pomeranian-Papillon mix for over 10 years, so I’m totally comfortable around friendly pets! Finally, I am more than willing run errands, though I don't have a car, do light cleaning, light cooking, and light laundry.

Hello! I am in my fourth year of teaching as a 1st grade teacher. I have nearly ten years of experience nannying/babysitting for children ages newborn-13 years old. I have always loved working with children-- I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's of teaching from the University of Virginia.

Hi! I'm a recent Georgetown grad staying in DC for the summer. I love to read, play sports, and enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I have three years of experience babysitting for kids ages 1-13 in the DC area. I also worked for 2 years as a camp counselor for ages 5-14. I love spending time with all kinds of kids, whether they are energetic and outdoorsy or they prefer to hang inside and read or color. My availability is super flexible this summer, and I am free most evenings and mornings! I also grew up caring for my dog, Lego, who recently just passed away. I'm really missing having a dog in my life, so would also love any opportunity to dog sit or dog walk! I am very responsible and reliable and, again, have very flexible hours this summer.
