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.

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.

As both a mother and former nanny, I understand the trust parents place in those who care for their children. I believe every child is a blessing and deserves patience, kindness, encouragement, and attentive care. Children are a blessing and a gift from God. I would love to be able to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can feel cared for while their parents are away. My prior nanny experience •Cared for two young children, providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment each day. •Planned fun, age-appropriate activities while managing meals, naps, and daily routines. •Assisted with diaper changes, feeding, potty training, and other daily care needs. •Kept play and living areas clean and organized •Maintained open communication with parents about schedules, milestones, and daily experiences. •Used patience, compassion, and good judgment to meet the children's individual needs. •Remained calm and attentive when handling unexpected situations. •Built strong, lasting relationships with the children and their family, creating bonds that continue to be meaningful in my life today. I would love to babysit your kids when needed! I do work at a church nursery on Sundays from 9am-12pm but am free after that. I also would love to help throughout the week. I do have a 2 year old child that I would have to bring with me unless it was after 5:30PM. I can also watch children in my home which is already baby proofed. I would of course let parents come and check everything out beforehand. Thank you!

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

I love being a sitter because kids are an ever growing sponge and just love to absorb all the things you can teach them. They will constantly want to play games and spend time with you as you become their favorite person. I have work as a babysitter since I was 13 and a camp counselor since I was 16. I got certified as a babysitter at 13 and have first aid and CPR through Red Cross. I have experience working with children who have special needs. I’m a college student at the University of Lynchburg working to become a forensic nurse. I’m available to work evenings on M/W/F, anytime after 9am on T/Th and weekends. I’m skilled in diaper changing, meal prep, homework help. I have my own car so transportation can be provided if needed. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call.
