Hello My name is Shana I am a single mother of 4. I've worked in childcare for 4 years as a lead infant teacher. My four years of experience caring for children aged 0-5 , including being lead infant teacher and working with toddlers, have solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, always striving to create a fun and engaging environment. Communication is key, so I will always keep you informed about your child's day, using your preferred method. I have a car, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. Supporting families by providing reliable care is important to me. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, and I look forward to the possibility of working with your family!

Hello there! I'm Rachel, a dedicated and experienced babysitter who is genuinely passionate about child care. With over 15 years of experience, I've honed my skills to provide your family with exceptional care. I've been fortunate to care for children of all ages, giving me an in-depth understanding of their unique needs and developmental stages. This extensive experience makes me a reliable and seasoned choice for your family. I have eight years of experience as an elementary teacher for Fairfax County Public Schools, where I taught first and third grade. This educational background has provided me with valuable insights into child development, making me well-equipped to create a stimulating and nurturing environment for your little ones. Prior to teaching, I also spent four summers working in daycare settings, caring for children as young as newborns to 12 years old. Safety is my utmost priority, and I maintain a CPR and First Aid certification, assuring you that I can confidently handle any unexpected situations. Moreover, my teaching license enables me to offer tutoring and homework services, should your children require any educational support. What truly sets me apart is my unwavering reliability and trustworthiness. With a background in education, I am committed to providing a level of care and professionalism that goes above and beyond. When you choose me as your babysitter, you're not just getting a caregiver; you're getting a nurturing and knowledgeable companion who genuinely cares about your child's growth and happiness. For those moments when you need a reliable and experienced hand to ensure your child's safety and well-being, I'm here to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve.
Hi there! My name is Diana, and I have 12 years experience in childcare, I've worked with kids from newborns to high-school age. I was an Au Pair for one year and a half and I had the opportunity to work with kids of different ages, not only that, but I also have experience doing overnight and date-night sitting. I have taken the CPR and first AID course, because it was a requirement to be an Au Pair. My connection with children has always been great. I love working with them, and we always have a blast. Not only I do enjoy reading with children, but I love activities outside, go to the park or to a local library, making up fun games - whether it be a puppet show or hide-and-seek and I like cooking as well. What will I do with your children? It depends on them and what they like to do. What I will tell you is that I will work to keep them busy and constantly engaged. Sometimes it's great to stay at home, build a fort, bake some goodies, and have a movie day. However, sometimes it's great to go outside and take the train or drive to different parts of the city and visit every park you pass, local libraries or museums. There are so many things, places, and people to learn from in this world. Please contact me if you have any questions! Thank you for take the time and read a little more about me, I hope hearing from you!!
“Diana was excellent and I would recommend her totally!”
