A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Sofia from Finland, I’m currently working as an au pair and I’m looking to continue with similar duties as a live-in nanny starting from June.

I’m goofy, gentle and kind. My favorite thing to do with children is to goof around. Anything from silly makeup to dance performances, always ready to make a fool out of myself!

I’m a strong driver, so I’m up for doing school pick up/drop off, kids activities, running errands etc.

On my free time I enjoy baking, weekend trips, hiking and trying out new cafés and restaurants.

Recent reference

"Sofia was our first Au Pair for a year for our 3 kids (4, 8, 10) while I studied and returned to work. From our 1st interview, I had a gut feeling that she would be amazing, and she did not disappoint. Sofia is a kind, patient, reliable, funny, hardworking, clean, silly, and amazing person, Au pair, and friend. We welcomed her into our family, and my kids loved the year she spent with us and we all were so sad when she left. She is quite mature for her age, and she always fulfilled her responsibilities and more. She managed the kids’ routines well, engaged them all easily, and demonstrated exceptional patience with my 10 yo son (my most challenging child with special needs). She may come across as shy, but she warms up easily. She is overall a more reserved individual and enjoys spending time alone reading and talking to her family. (No parties, no drama) She brought a sense of peace to our chaotic household. Sofia will be a blessing in your life, as she was in ours. ~ Erin"

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Jemima. I’m a senior at Langley High School and I’m looking for work as an occasional sitter and work for the summer. I love animals, cooking/baking, and of course helping kids of all ages have fun. I worked this past summer at Madeira’s Camp Greenway as a Junior Counselor. There I helped kids ages 4-12 problem solve, I assisted with pool and arts and crafts, and supervised meal/snack time!

What Is a Summer Nanny?

A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.

Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Great Falls, VA

Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.

Summer Nanny Interview Questions

Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:

  • Which dates are you available this summer?
  • Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
  • What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
  • Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
  • Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?

At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
