Stephanie C., Babysitter in Amherst, VA 24521 with 10 years of paid experience

From a young age, I have nurtured a deep affection for children. My extensive experience in childcare, spanning from infant to teenage years, has honed my abilities to work effectively with children of diverse ages and developmental stages. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated reliability, dependability, and a positive attitude, qualities that would make me an invaluable asset to any childcare setting. Children are inherently joyful companions, and I find immense pleasure in their infectious laughter and playful antics.

I love kids of all ages. I was an elementary school teacher for over 30 years. I raised 2 children. I've taught special needs children. I've had training teaching children to read, write, spell, learn math, social studies and science. I enjoy doing crafts and learning new things.

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

Hi! My name is Laney, and I'm a junior at the University of Lynchburg, majoring in exercise physiology. I'm responsible, caring, energetic, and I really enjoy working with kids. I've been babysitting since my freshman year of high school and also four years of gymnastics coaching experience. Through coaching, I've worked with kids for about 15-18 hours a week which has given me lots of experience keeping kids engaged, encouraging them, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported. I love working with kids because I enjoy getting to know their personalities and finding fun activities to do together. I'm looking for a job where I can be someone families can trust and rely on. I'm happy to help with things like playing outside, crafts, games, homework, and bedtime routines. My top three childcare skills would be patience, communication, and keeping kids engaged. One thing I want families to know is that I genuinely care about the kids I work with and I always want them to feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

Sarah J., Babysitter in Amherst, VA 24521 with 0 years of paid experience

As a college student, my degree is a Music performing arts, but I also am taking many classes in youth development and ministry. My heart for children has been so strong since I can remember. At the age of 15 I started working in the nursery as well as child care for my church. I was also a youth worship leader, and was able to connect with young children. This past summer, I worked at a camp for three months straight with ages 8-13. It was such a joy being surrounded by young people and how I can help in their journey ! I’m a very bubbly person, and get along with everyone. I’m also very patient and enjoy connect with kids one on one.

Im always positive! Love socializing and am a hard worker! I adore kids! I can't wait to have some myself! Ive only worked at daycares! I love interacting with them, making them laugh and smile, teaching them how to say names and recognize animals and what sounds they make, teaching them hoe to take their first steps! Children are the sweetest things, and I have a heart for them all! Children are such blessings and they deserved to be taken care of and showered with everlasting love!
