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 3 families in Vienna, VA

I got most of my experience from raising my three kids, boy and 2 girls, and all of them are in the college now. I always loved being surrounded with children even before having my own. so after graduating from college I worked as a pre-school teacher for 2 years in my country where I enjoyed creating fun activities for children, playing with them. As a mom, spending time with my kids was and still so precious to me, and I assure you that I will treat your kids and take care of them like they were my own. I work part time and my work schedule is pretty flexible, I am available on Thursday and on Sunday at anytime and some days early morning and in the afternoon too , I will be more than glad to help in taking care of your kids, like dropping off & picking them up from school, playing outside with them, reading stories, playing board games, and helping them with their homework, I have Adult, Children, Infant, Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification, and I am Covid vaccinated. * “References Available Upon Request”

We had a wonderful experience with Fatima. She arrived on time and was very friendly. My son has a hard time when we leave and she handled it really well. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Hi, my name is Sarah and I have a masters in school counseling. I have 15 years of experience working with children, teens and people with disabilities. I also love to babysit my nieces and nephews. I am a former registered behavior technician and know ABA(behavior) therapy. When I’m taking care of young kids I like to read to them, play games, complete puzzles or simply do whatever they enjoy. I also like to take them outdoors to local playgrounds or go for walks if parents permit. In my free time I enjoy live music, painting and spending time with family and friends.

Experience: 1. Worked as a Nanny for 3 year old and 5 year old for 7 months 2. After Care Counselor for kindergardeners to 8th graders for 4 years 3. Substitute Teacher for Preschool age to 8th graders for 4 years 4. Part time Preschool Teacher for 2 months (This was supposed to be a part time position as an art teacher for the little ones but I was given a position as a morning preschool teacher to help out) 5. Pet sitter for all animal (Except snake) for 6 years Qualifications: 1. Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED Certified 2. Medication Administation Training (MAT) Certified About me: I love learning and teaching. I have a ton of little cousins so I was the babysitter in my family growing up and have always been around kids of all ages, which is what got me into childcare in the beginning. Patients is key, in my opinion, and anything can be taught with both patients and determination. I grew up playing many different sports and think exercise is important but I my passion is reading and I love doing read alouds with the kids. It can surprise people how much some of the older kids appreciate being read to.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Margo. I come from a large family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. I was raised helping care for my younger sibling and cousins, and I am now a very involved aunt to 14 nieces and nephews whom I am extremely close to. Caring for children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I have experience babysitting infants through 10-year-olds, including children with special needs, who I have a particular heart for. I am warm, fun, personable, and highly adaptable. I do well with different family dynamics and parenting styles, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love cooking, baking, and am able to drive kids around, house or pet sit. I take my role as a caretaker seriously and truly enjoy building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
