I am 20 years old and am currently in school to become an elementary school teacher. I have always wanted to become a teacher. I have been at a daycare for a little over a year now. I have had to get a few certifications with working here. I am CPR and first aid certified, I have some child development courses/certified and some health and safety ones as well. I have some knowledge on how to help teach them the certain milestones they need at the young developing age. I have always loved dogs and pretty much any animal.

Victoria Suffolk
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Victoria and I love working with children! I am a current nursing student at GMU and an aspiring NICU nurse. I had personal experience with babysitting since I was 8 years old when it came to watching my younger sibling from baby to grade school age. Some of my roles are helping with homework after school, getting kids off/on the bus, picking up/dropping them off from school, making snacks, etc. I also volunteer at church in the infants and toddlers department. Some responsibilities are snack time, coloring, and of course playtime. I truly enjoy watching out for kids and just like them, am energetic myself. I'm patient, enthusiastic, kind, and CPR certified.

Booked by 1 family in Battery Park, VA

Hi! My name is Ashley and I’m a dedicated and reliable babysitter with about 5 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I enjoy helping families with one-time or occasional babysitting, pet care, or simply helping around the house and running errands. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping kids safe, engaged, and comfortable while following household routines. I’m also very comfortable around animals and happy to help with feedings, walks, drop-ins, or overnight sitting. I take trust seriously and aim to give parents peace of mind while they’re away, I look forward to meeting your family!

She was amazing very professional and went above and beyond when I had an unexpected issue. I truly appreciate her reliability and care.

Mikhia Suffolk
$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Khia, and I’m an 18-year-old college student majoring in elementary education. While I’m home from school until January 16th, I’m offering occasional babysitting for families who need help with date nights, after-school care, or last-minute and emergency situations. I have experience caring for children from infancy through pre-teens and focus on creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through reading, arts and crafts, games, and outdoor play, and I’m happy to help with homework, meals, and daily routines. My education background helps me stay patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s needs. I also have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and general supervision. I’m comfortable with large dogs and pets that shed, and I’ve volunteered with an animal rescue, which helped me gain confidence working with different animals and temperaments. I take pride in being dependable, calm, and communicative, and I aim to make both children and parents feel comfortable and at ease.
