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.

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.

Hi there! My name is Zoe, and I have one year of experience working with infants and young toddlers between 4 and 18 months old.
