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!
Julie $20 per hour for 1 child
I raised two children as a single parent and have some experience as a professional sitter. I am a freelance writer looking for extra income. I have an advanced degree and can tutor in many subjects, especially writing. I have also had dogs most of my adult life and have some experience with cats.
Megan $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Megan and I’m currently on summer break as a special education teacher in FCPS. I have a degree in Child Development & Family Studies with a minor in Special Education. I have been working with children since 2019 and can’t imagine doing anything else! I have experience with children of all ages and all abilities. I love planning activities and differentiating them for different skill levels so that no one is left out. Oh, I love all animals from fluffy to scaly too, so pets are not a problem!
Emily $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi I’m Emily and I’m a mom of 2 children and a dog. Before I became a mom I babysat children for over 10 years. I have also been a nanny in the past and worked at a daycare for several years. I love children and animals. I have a dog and I love taking care of other people’s dogs and cats. I treat other people’s pets as my own. Same goes for children! I’m happy to babysit for an occasional date night or come pet sit for you while you are away!
