Find experienced babysitters in Portsmouth, VA

Hi there!  I am a mom of 2 grown kiddos, and Nonna to a beautiful granddaughter. I have lived in Virginia Beach for most of my life.  I have over 40 years of childcare experience including 6 full time summers, 4 years of teaching at a local day care, and years of working in my church nursery.  In college, I majored in Psychology and Early Childhood Education. I have been trained in CPR for over 40 years and I was a certified CPR & 1st Aid Instructor for over 6 years.  I have worked with multiples in the past as well as children with ADD/ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome.  Also, my son has had asthma, allergies, mild ADD, and Tourette's Syndrome and has had respiratory problems since he was 6 weeks old so I am well versed in dealing with a variety of issues. I am available on weeknights after 4:30pm and weekends. I am open to occasional overnight care at your home.  I am a Virginia Beach school employee so when school is closed, I am usually available as well.

Hello! I have about 5 years experience working with children. I started working with kiddos when I was about 14 years old. I started with watching my younger cousins and helped in my local church. In high school I was in an early childhood education class for three years. Two of the years I was a TA. In this class we had a running preschool. I helped all the students come up with lesson plans to teach the children. I also helped my teacher with other duties. My senior year I got a job as a preschool teacher and worked part time after I got out of school. I was a preschool teacher for about two years, and for about six months I worked as a resource teacher. I also babysat on weekends and other instances for a few families I knew. I have experience with ages 0-12 years. I absolutely LOVE working with children and their families as well. I believe having a relationship with not only the child/children I may be working with, but also the parents/ guardians is very important. I hope that you'll consider me to be a part of your family!!

Hello, my name is Meka. Your child can call me MS. MEKA. I use to be a full time Child Care Provider years ago, but due to daily pain I could not do it full time anymore. I still love helping parents out in anyway that I can along with teaching & adding structure. I also know it’s hard to find quality care and people you trust and those who will be an advocate for your child.. (children in general). I am a mother of 3... ages 30, 26, and 24. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 4). I was home with them majority of their early childhood & teen years being able to prepare them for school, helping with school work, taking them to their activities, taking them to school, and making sure they completed high school and/ or college...(Honor grad/Cum Laude grad & many meetings/support for my child who has Dyslexia). I do believe “Learning starts at home”. I was a single mom most of that time. There were many times, I had to get 3 kids to 3 different events at the same time, but parents make a way & God will put the right people in your path to help you. Please let me know if I can be any assistance to you or your family. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, I am First Aid/CPR Certified & I have a background check through the state!!

Hello! My name is Yaslin. I am a recent graduate who completed my training as a Physician Assistant and am currently awaiting certification. I’m excited to begin working as a PA soon, and in the meantime, I’m looking to babysit as I truly enjoy working with children. I have several years of experience caring for children in both medical and educational settings. I worked as a Medical Assistant for four consecutive years at two private pediatric practices in New York City, and I have also been a summer camp counselor and a daycare assistant. During my training, I continued volunteering as a daycare assistant, where I helped children with homework, assisted with feeding, and supported their daily routines and care needs. I have experience working with children ranging from six months old to teenagers, and I feel very comfortable adapting to different age groups and needs. I am CPR and AED certified and have also worked in after-school programs with children from kindergarten through 8th grade. In that role, I provided tutoring support, helped children transition between activities, and ensured their safety while offering guidance and structure throughout the day.

I have experience with children through working at a day care, camps, babysitting, a residential treatment center, and working as a teachers assistant in a program called secep who works with children with mental disabilities and behavior problems. I was a certified EMT prior to leaving my job to being put on bed rest due to my pregnancy, and becoming a stay at home mom. I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys... one is 2, and the other is 7. Would love some other littles for my youngens to play with. Pricing varies depending on need. I have 2 recent (within the last year) references upon request.
