Aaliyah W., Babysitter in Amherst, VA 24521 with 10 years of paid experience

I graduated in 2019 with a BA in French and Spanish. I am a very hardworking and caring individual and, I love children. I am very family oriented with a little brother of my own that I have cared for my entire life. He is like a son to me. Before leaving North Carolina where I attended school, I was working every day with children grades K-12 at an after-school program along with my studies and playing basketball. I currently babysit regularly for several local families. I have been working professionally in childcare since 2017, and babysitting since I was 16 years old. I have experience with working with children one on one and/or multiple children in a group setting, so babysitting multiple children is no problem for me. In addition to assisting the children with homework and other academic assignments, I was an art and language teacher at the after school program mentioned above, and a tutor as well. I still currently tutor. I would be willing to work with your child on those things while babysitting. I am CPR certified and have BLS training. I believe in being very active and hands-on with activities because that is the best way to learn and play ! General availability: weekends/evenings/nights

Annemarie C., Babysitter in Amherst, VA 24521 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Annemarie! I have paid childcare experience as both a nanny and a teacher, and I’ve cared for children from infancy through high school. I’m very comfortable with infant care, routines, and supporting kids at different developmental stages! I’m calm, dependable, and truly love caring for children! Clear communication with parents is really important to me. As a new mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously while keeping things warm, safe, and positive! I’m excited to connect with a family and would love to chat to see if we’re a great fit!

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and patient sitter who genuinely enjoys working with kids of all ages. I bring a calm, positive energy and focus on creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment—whether that means helping with homework, planning creative activities, or just making sure your child feels comfortable and supported while you’re away. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age kids, and I’m comfortable handling daily routines like meals, naps, bedtime, and light housekeeping related to the children. I believe in clear communication with parents and will always keep you updated so you feel at ease. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your kids are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I have watched a family of children for several years with children ages 2-8, and I also was a soccer coach for Soccer Shots for a summer, so I am very comfortable working with young kids. I am a self employed photographer so my schedule is very flexible and I’m willing to work with your schedule.
