Rachel $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Vienna, VA

Hello there! I'm Rachel, a dedicated and experienced babysitter who is genuinely passionate about child care. With over 15 years of experience, I've honed my skills to provide your family with exceptional care. I've been fortunate to care for children of all ages, giving me an in-depth understanding of their unique needs and developmental stages. This extensive experience makes me a reliable and seasoned choice for your family. I have eight years of experience as an elementary teacher for Fairfax County Public Schools, where I taught first and third grade. This educational background has provided me with valuable insights into child development, making me well-equipped to create a stimulating and nurturing environment for your little ones. Prior to teaching, I also spent four summers working in daycare settings, caring for children as young as newborns to 12 years old. Safety is my utmost priority, and I maintain a CPR and First Aid certification, assuring you that I can confidently handle any unexpected situations. Moreover, my teaching license enables me to offer tutoring and homework services, should your children require any educational support. What truly sets me apart is my unwavering reliability and trustworthiness. With a background in education, I am committed to providing a level of care and professionalism that goes above and beyond. When you choose me as your babysitter, you're not just getting a caregiver; you're getting a nurturing and knowledgeable companion who genuinely cares about your child's growth and happiness. For those moments when you need a reliable and experienced hand to ensure your child's safety and well-being, I'm here to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve.

Mikhail $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, im Mike, your new babysitter! During the week, I work with kids, but I'm ready to bring that magic to your front doorstep. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, a night out, or even a last minute call-in, i'm your guy. Even when it seems like I might not have the time, my schedule is made to prioritize your home, your children, your pets, and most importantly: YOU. I usually work with kids aged 5-12, but I've never been known to shy away from working with new ages. So as long as you'd tell me everything I should know, I can get the job done. No kids, no problem! If you need a pet sitter, house sitter, or just a clean house then im still the right call to make. I'm experienced with pets, and know my way around a broom. So what are you waiting for? You need time for you, and I'm ready to give you peace of mind.

Joseph $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, diligent and efficient semi-retired senior citizen looking for people oriented part time employment. I am good with children as I raised one to be a responsible & self reliant adult. I helped care for a 90+ year old parent until his passing. I have had dogs/cats all my life and am an ASPCA senior provider. I am a stickler for neatness around the house & cooking is my hobby. I hope to hear from you soon.
