Hi everyone! My name is Lizzi and I am currently a high school counselor. I have always loved working with children and even though I am working at a high school now, elementary age is where most of my experience is. I have worked at multiple daycare centers, babysat multiple families for 15+ years, and was a nanny for the same family for 11 years. I really enjoy reading with kids, going outside, and playing board games/games around the house. If this sounds like a good fit for you or if you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you soon :) Summer Availability: Date nights during the week/weekend. Rates may vary based on job description/location Minimums: 4 hours during the week, 5 hours on weekends School Year Availability: Date nights during the week/weekend.

Lizzi is wonderful! Responsible, lots of experience, great with our little girl (who can be shy but warmed up to Lizzi very quickly). Ready to have her back again any time and already booking our next time with her!

Booked by 12 families in Mc Lean, VA

Hi! My name is Gayatri and I'm a babysitter with ~10 of experience with children ages 1 - 14. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics and Creative Writing from UNC Chapel Hill (class of 2014) and currently work in Georgetown in branding / communications for non-profits and foundations. In my free time I like to read, write fiction, and cook! I love babysitting because it's fun -- I love getting to know children over games, arts and crafts, homework, and playing with their friends. I have experience working with boys and girls and enjoy babysitting actual babies as well as older school-age children :) I'm looking forward to meeting your family!

Our nine-year-old son had a great time with Gayatri! We'd definitely hire her again.

Booked by 1 family in Mc Lean, VA

Hello there! My name is Brenda, and I’m from Colombia. I’m excited to share that I’m offering childcare services. I’ve been working with children for eight years now, and I’m currently a nanny in Arlington, Virginia. I’m taking care of three boys who are 10, 12, and 13 years old. Before this family, I had the privilege of caring for a baby who was just 10 months old. I took care of him until he was 2 and a half years old. I’ve gained a lot of experience with children. I had worked with really good families that they’ll happy to give you references about my job and my personality. Usually my responsibilities are only about the kids like, cook, drive, play, do crafts and to tutoring.

Brenda was my children’s nanny for the summer (boy, 9, and girl, 6). Brenda was absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough! She was punctual, professional, and very engaging with the children. She was responsible for getting the kids ready for the day, making them meals, driving them, and playing with them – among other things. My kids loved playing both indoors and outdoors with Brenda. They did a variety of fun activities, including arts/crafts, games, and going to the pool. I should add that my children’s father and I recently separated, and Brenda went back and forth between our two homes seamlessly. The kids had a terrific summer with her, and I highly recommend her as a nanny and babysitter.

Hi my name is Caroline, I’m 24 and I'm a CNU graduate. I am CPR certified and have experience babysitting/nannying for about 7 years.
