Hi there! My name is Virginia Hernandez, and I'm a 19-year-old college student eager to embark on a meaningful journey this summer by becoming part of a new family dynamic. While I may not have specific babysitting experience, I bring a unique set of skills and qualifications to the table. As a certified nursing assistant, I've honed invaluable practical skills that extend beyond the realm of healthcare. Throughout my training, I've developed a keen sense of responsibility, patience, and adaptability—qualities that I believe are fundamental in caring for children. My experience has also equipped me with essential first aid knowledge and the ability to remain composed in high-pressure situations. Beyond my professional credentials, I'm enthusiastic about creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive. I'm eager to engage in activities that foster creativity, learning, and exploration while ensuring the well-being of your little ones. While I may be new to babysitting, I'm dedicated to learning and growing in this role. I approach every opportunity with an open mind and a willingness to go above and beyond to meet the needs of your family. I'm excited about the prospect of becoming a part of your household, and I'm confident that my background as a certified nursing assistant will complement my caregiving abilities. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your family's summer experience!

I’ve been around childcare my entire life. My parents owned a childcare center in the 90s and brought it to Indiana in the early 2000s, so growing up I was always surrounded by children of all ages. Because of that, I learned early on how to help create a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I officially started assisting in the childcare setting at age 13, helping with daily routines, meals, activities, and supervision. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with feeding, hygiene, engaging children in developmental activities, keeping them safe, and understanding different behaviors and needs. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, which has strengthened my ability to handle emergencies and provide safe, attentive care. Being raised in that environment taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for others with kindness and consistency. Those skills translate directly into caregiving, because I’m already comfortable supporting someone’s daily needs and making sure they feel safe and cared for.
