"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Avery $22 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m a senior year nursing major at JMU with plans to join the Navy once I graduate. I’m home for the summer and I’m looking for babysitting/nannying jobs to occupy my time. I have been babysitting/nannying for the past 8 years and I have experiences with kids ranging from 1 month old to 12 years old. I am CPR/BLS certified. I’m a big dog person and I’d be happy to watch them too. I love kids, enjoy being active/going outside, and I LOVE cooking and baking!
Emma $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Emma, and I'm finishing my first year at NOVA. I offer childcare mainly, as well as pet care and errand assistance when needed. I spent a year as a full-time teacher’s aide in a 2–3 year old classroom, and I've been babysitting/tutoring elementary and middle school children since I was 16. I’m especially looking to earn more experience with infants (3 months–2 years). I love babies and have cared for infants in the past, but I’m hoping to build more consistent, hands-on experience. I enjoy keeping kids engaged—whether it’s short outdoor play, art, dancing, or building activities. I’ve worked with tantrum-prone toddlers and know how to stay calm, patient, and professional. I aim to create a fun, safe space where kids feel seen and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Hello! I’m a former Early Childhood Educator looking for part-time work as a childcare provider! I am passionate about child development and providing children with the very best care on every level. I don’t just provide basic care and safety but strive to create the best environment to nurture a child’s body, mind, and emotional wellbeing! I have provided care through daycares and as a private childcare provider and nanny for kids from infancy to school age. I would love to hear from you!
Megan $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Megan and I’m currently on summer break as a special education teacher in FCPS. I have a degree in Child Development & Family Studies with a minor in Special Education. I have been working with children since 2019 and can’t imagine doing anything else! I have experience with children of all ages and all abilities. I love planning activities and differentiating them for different skill levels so that no one is left out. Oh, I love all animals from fluffy to scaly too, so pets are not a problem!
Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Samantha! I’m a junior at William & Mary and am offering babysitting services for families with up to three children. As a caregiver, I prioritize safety, kindness, and mutual respect. I’ve been babysitting for nearly 5 years and am experienced with children ages 9 months and above. I’ve been employed by families with up to four children and with neurodiverse children. I’m looking for short-term work opportunities while back home in Northern Virginia. I’m available until late June, when I leave for a study abroad program in Europe. I’m happy to run errands, cook/prep meals, and do light housekeeping tasks. I have my own car and am CPR and first-aid certified. Most pets are ok (I love cats especially!) but please no high-energy big dogs!
