Springfield Hourly Child Care

Hello! I have been caring for little ones from newborn-infant till toddler ages when they go off to preschool. I previously worked for hotels such as Hiltons and Marriott for 20+ years and decided to make a career change to care for little ones, after the birth of my first granddaughter. In addition to caring for their feeding/diapering/napping needs, I engage kids using developmentally appropriate toys and play (such as tummy-time, books/story-time, songs/music, sensory and outdoor play). I do not use technology or screens in my care of children. I also speak fluent Swahili, Gujarati, Hindi and can speak to your child in these languages (if that's of interest). I have a sunny walk-out basement sectioned out for child-care and live in a beautiful neighborhood with playgrounds and outdoor spaces. Our pet-free, smoke-free home also has a small yard that is ideal for outdoor play. My ideal situation would involve you dropping your child to my home. Flexible hours and reasonable rates!

Hi! Thank you for checking out my profile. I have taken care of children for almost 5 years. I am the youngest of 4 children and missed out on being an older sibling so working with kids is really fulfilling for me! I love being able to create unique bonds with each child I meet. It's important for me to get on well with the family and to build a good relationship with each person I meet. I graduated from West Springfield High School in June of 2019 and am currently taking classes online at Nova. Aside from babysitting, I have worked at LA Fitness in the Kids Club, and am currently a Full-Time nanny for a wonderful family with a 5-month-old baby. My hours are 8-4 Monday-Friday, so I am looking for part time work in the evenings or weekends! My rates are very negotiable as I understand financial flexibility differs for each family. I look forward to working with you! Feel free to send me a message!

I'm super fun, reliable, and responsible! I have my own car and I love driving, so it's never a problem. I've been Head Counselor for a Fairfax County Park Authority camp for 7 years, going into my 8th this upcoming summer, and I've been a babysitter for about 8 years. I have lots of experience keeping kids entertained for hours and I love it! I have no problem supervising kids in different environments and I understand the importance of keeping a vigilant eye on them!

*Please note that next year my contract hours as a special education teacher for FCPS will be from 9:05 to 4:05 M-F.* I cannot provide services during those times. Hello! :) My name is John and I have been a Special Education Teacher for Fairfax County Public Schools working with students who mostly have either an emotional or learning disability for over five years. I would describe myself as a goofy, energetic person who loves to be silly and make people laugh. If you ask any child to describe me, they would most likely say that I am the type of person who really gets to know each child individually and pick up very fast what interests them and try to learn more about it so they can have someone to talk to about it. Some background about myself: I have a Masters degree in Special Education in Special Education from George Mason University and I am a licensed Special Education teacher in the state of Virginia. Proof of both are available upon request..

Hi I'm Lauren and I am looking forward to getting to know your family! I grew up in a large close-knit extended family with many younger cousins. I enjoy baking/cooking, crafting and outdoor activities. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. In the past, I have mainly cared for toddlers and primary school aged children. I enjoy working with children because I like to see how younger minds think and their perspective on overlooked things in everyday life. I am quite flexible when it comes to days and hours.
