Find experienced babysitters in Amherst, VA

Hi there! My name is Mikael, and I have always had a natural ability to connect with people of all ages, especially kids and the elderly. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and comforting environment where children can feel cared for, understood, and encouraged to be themselves. Whether it is helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or simply listening and being present, I find a lot of joy in helping families feel supported. I completed a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) course, currently uncertified, and have First Aid and CPR training, which has given me a strong foundation in safety, care, and attention to detail. Back in my hometown, I spent about a year babysitting children in my neighborhood, from infants to middle schoolers, helping with everything from meal prep and bedtime routines to light housekeeping and after-school activities. In addition to childcare, I have also gained experience caring for the elderly, which strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I take pride in being reliable, nurturing, and someone families can truly depend on. I would love to bring that same care and energy to your family.

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 am a current Early Education major with a great passion and desire to work in the development of younger children. I have experiences with taking care of my younger family members and leading an engaging activity for 3rd graders at my former high school.

Hello! My name is Jillian, and I am a North Carolina native starting to make a life in Virginia. I am 25 years old from a family of 6 children and many pets! I am a middle child, with two older siblings and three younger. I love to make things, from knitting a sweater to baking a cake. Nothing feels more rewarding than a physical final product you can share with those you love. I just returned to the US after a year abroad in France. I was an au pair for a family of 5 children, ages 8, 7, 5, 3, and 1. As an au pair, I was a part of the family, as I'd love to become with you! My responsibilities included driving the children to and from school and extracurricular activities when needed, light housework and meal prep, homework help, and general fun with the kids! I was also there to speak English with the children to improve their fluency. I have also worked in ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) for two different companies in Boone, NC and Cary, NC. I worked one-on-one with children with autism, ranging from 3 years to 12 years. The children all had different strengths and needs, and I would follow a program set up by the child's BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) to work on their strengths and needs. Other childcare related positions I have worked include after-school care at an elementary school, multiple internships in elementary school classrooms, and different babysitting, tutoring, and nannying positions over the years. For twelve years, I was a Girl Scout, which instilled a great love for the outdoors. In the last 5 years as a girl scout, I helped plan and run a weekend overnight camp for younger scouts. I look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask me anything!

Hey! My name is Haley, I'm twenty, and I’m looking for part time nanny/babysitting jobs! I have seven years experience caring for children, 2 years professionally (meaning after I turned eighteen). I’ve cared for children as young as three months to as old as thirteen years, and up to three children at once! I have a bit of experience with special needs like Autism and ADHD, and am willing to learn about any special needs I’m new to caring for. While babysitting and nannying, I love to engage the child in games and activities. Whether that’s playing a game, arts and crafts, or baking! I even helped three kids make homemade lemon popsicles one time, which made them feel very accomplished and excited to try their creations! I’m happy to do light child-related housecleaning, like laundry, dishes, picking up toys, and more. Along with that, I’m happy to do meal prep, potty training help, naps/bedtime, play date supervision, pool supervision, and pet care. If you have any more questions, let me know, I’m happy to answer any you may have!
