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!

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

Noelle M., Babysitter in Amherst, VA 24521 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I have over five years of experience working with children ages birth-15 years in professional and babysitting settings. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel secure, supported, and encouraged to grow. One of my favorite parts of working with children is seeing the world through their eyes and watching their individual personalities blossom. Safety is always my top priority. I'm in the process of renewing my CPR/First Aid certification and have extensive experience supervising children in both one on one and group settings. I am comfortable supporting feeding routines, nap schedules, potty training, school pickups, and household tasks among other things. I am mainly seeking a full-time nanny position in the North Carolina/Virginia area. I take pride in being a professional caregiver who families can depend on, and children can feel confident and happy with.

Hi! My name is Larissa, and I’m a dependable, caring, and patient sitter who truly enjoys helping families feel supported and at ease. I create a safe, calm, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable, learn, and be themselves. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children.

I’m also happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, and tidying up play areas so your home stays organized and stress-free. In addition to child care, I’m open to helping with light housekeeping, laundry, organizing, errands, and basic meal preparation. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your home, and always aim to make your day a little easier. I’m reliable, communicate well, and am available for one-time, last-minute, or recurring care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide safe, loving care for your children!
