About Us
Portia Moore
Founder and Owner of
P&E Babysitting
I am an Arlingtonian through and through. I attended Long Branch Elementary School, Jefferson Middle School, and Washington-Lee High School. Having received my Bachelors of Science and a Master’s in Education, I am a proud Hokie, member of Virginia Tech’s class of 2008; and alumnus of Marymount University.
I realized my passion for children and their care at the early age of 13 years old when I began my babysitting career. My academic background is in science and education. I have learned over my years that when coupled together: childcare and education, creates a healthy environment needed for child development.
I own P&E babysitting and STEM Preschool.
When hiring sitters, I value and seek out those that possess the following qualities: patience, energy, intelligence, and nurturing. These are important qualities, and some of my strengths, that I believe make sitters highly effective and valuable as they care for your children.
I look forward to providing your family with the best quality childcare.
I always welcome questions and comments. Please feel free to contact me at any time!
I have been a nanny in the DC metro area for over 10 years, a babysitter for over 15 years, and have years of experience working for P&E Babysitting full-time. I began babysitting occasionally for families in Arlington through a dual enrollment high school class which provided college credit when I was 15. I love being a part of the crucial development stages.
Over the years, I have always connected families with available babysitters and/ or nannies. Now on a professional level, I very much enjoy ensuring that not only each family acquires a quality childcare provider who is reliable, responsible, trustworthy, and “part of the family”, but to also ensure that our providers are comfortable, happy, and in a productive and caring work environment.
