Booked by 7 families in Annandale, VA

Hello families! I’m a professional nanny and Spanish teacher with a genuine passion for caring for children and supporting their growth and development. I have over 6 years of childcare experience, including 3 years as an Au Pair caring for 3 children, experience as a Camp Counselor, and my current role as a full-time nanny for two wonderful children, ages 1 and 6. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and dependable. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and have fun through age-appropriate activities. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting during my days off, weekday evenings, and date nights, depending on my schedule. I’d love to connect with your family and provide loving, reliable care for your little ones!

Hi there! My name is Sarah, and I’m a recent UTSA graduate with a BS in Biochemistry. I am a current medical assistant and applying to PhD programs for Fall 2026 to investigate disease mechanisms, particularly with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity. As the oldest of five, I’ve been taking care of little ones since they were babies. Outside of family, I’ve had hands-on experience as young as 3 years old, and I’ve also provided tutoring for high school students. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, reading stories, or organizing fun activities, I create a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment for your child. I’m BLS/CPR certified, can cook, and I’m comfortable with household tasks. I’m well-versed in caring for animals as I have a cat of my own and occasionally watch over family friends’ pets (most being 4 dogs small and large and 1 cat), making me the perfect option for families with pets. If you’re looking for someone responsible, caring, and fun, I’d love to meet your family!

“Great! Highly recommend ”

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I have a full time job as a financial analyst during the day and I’m usually free after work and occasionally on weekends. I love working with kids, being around children always puts a smile to my face. I have experience in babysitting for 5 years during college and a few years after. I’ve worked with kids in various ages from infant to teenagers. I love being outdoors and taking walks outside if the weather is nice, if not I have a variety of board games and movies to enjoy indoors.
