Booked by 3 families in Springfield, VA

I am a recent graduate of Elon University, with a degree in Statistics with a concentration in Actuarial Science with minors in Asian Studies, Finance and Accounting. I was a Camp Counselor at the JCCSF several summers ago, have volunteered at The First Tee of San Francisco, The First Tee of San Francisco, Horizon's (an organization that serves underserved students) and have been babysitting for eight years for kids for a wide age range. I love babysitting because I get to build relationships with the kids I babysit, and working with kids is something I love. I now currently reside in Alexandria, Virginia working at an accounting firm in their Advisory practice!

“We loved that Samantha was very personable and easy going. Our son took to her immediately. She arrived on time and was interested in his routine. She asked good questions and was enjoyable to be around. We will definitely hire her again. As new parents, knowing that she’s infant CPR certified gave us extra confidence so we could really enjoy a relaxing evening out. ”

Margaret $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.

I am a goofy, smiley 26 year old who loves infants and children. I have 5 years of experience working with children and babysitting. I work as a CNA in Postpartum and Pediatrics. I am very comfortable caring for infants and young children (therefore very patient :)). I am also comfortable with pets, and am willing to help with small tasks around the house if asked!

Catherine Sampson $18 per hour for 1 child

As a driven educator with a Master's degree in Technical Communication and a Bachelor's in English Literature, I have over five years of tutoring experience specializing in creative writing, essay editing, and technical writing. Beyond tutoring, I have a diverse background in working with children and young learners: I spent several years as a part‑time ice skating instructor, served as a camp counselor at Camp Allen for two summers, worked at a church during Vacation Bible School and provided babysitting care for three families throughout high school. These experiences strengthened my ability to connect with students of different ages and cultures, foster patience and create supportive environments. My teaching philosophy centers on cultivating a collaborative and encouraging space where students feel empowered to express their ideas and improve their writing skills. I strive to connect with each learner by understanding their unique perspectives and goals, guiding them toward both academic success and personal growth. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy writing fiction and following current events. I am dedicated to helping students not only excel academically but also discover and refine their own voice through writing.

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.
