Hello! My name is Olivia. I am currently attending Radford University, I am majoring in Elementary Education. I am planning to get my Masters's degree in Special Education. I am home for the summer and in need of some extra money to start saving. I used to work at a local daycare. I was mainly put in the three-year-old room as an afternoon lead I just was not happy with the pay. I love kids. I have a lot of cousins who are in elementary school/prek. I sit them often. As I got older I really enjoyed spending time and providing a fun and safe environment for children. I grew up with younger cousins and I started sitting around the age of 13. I am flexible with elementary children as well. I interned at my Elementary school during my junior year of high school. I was placed in the fourth grade and I loved it. I find that I have the patience and I can be very involved with their interests. I enjoy planning activities and more to help the kids learn and have a bit of fun as well. I am free mostly during the week during the day. I can also work some weekends if needed.

Hello! My name is Luanna, I am 26 years old and graduated from VCU with a bachelor's in psychology and criminal justice. Towards the end of my undergraduate studies, I shifted my focus on child development. I am working on my masters degree as well as my teaching license. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am also comfortable with travel and also have a clean driving record and a drivers license. I have a younger brother that I watched growing up and eventually began babysitting around my neighborhood. I was a high school and college athlete, so babysitting allowed me to have a more flexible schedule. I briefly worked at a Montessori preschool as an assistant teacher as well. I have experience in all ages (from 2 months to 17 years old) and training with a wide range of special needs and disabilities. I am bilingual (Portuguese and English). Housework, transportation, and pets are no issue. I’m a believer that my role in the house is to be an extra helper who makes your life easier! I am recently engaged and they will often offer an extra set of hands for me when needed. I am currently living in Roanoke VA; however, I am moving to Michigan by thanksgiving to be closer to family so relocation assistance would be preferred but not required. I am looking for a long-term position with one family and to build a personal relationship with you and your children. I hope to bring comfort and more stability into your home and assist your family as much as possible. My hope is to develop a reliable and personal relationship. I encourage physical activity and spending time outdoors as much as possible and to have as much fun as you can whenever you can. I will always try to create a healthy environment with open communication, and learn how to best support your children in whatever their interests may be. My main goal is to be able to assist in your child’s mental and physical development as well as their emotional wellbeing. I practice gentle parenting ideologies and hope to become a safe space for your children. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I appreciate the opportunity and thank you for your time. - Luanna P.

Hello Parents! My name is Megan and my journey in childcare began at the age of 13 when I volunteered as a camp counselor while my family lived overseas. Throughout high school, I balanced babysitting with my studies, extracurricular activities, and sports. After returning to the United States for college, I earned a B.A. in Psychology with a focus on cognitive development and early childhood from Radford University. Currently, I am pursuing a B.S. in Early Childhood and Interdisciplinary Studies at Liberty, with an anticipated graduation in Spring 2026. I have a deep passion for working with children and am fascinated by their growth and development during the critical early years. My experiences in babysitting, nannying, and licensed childcare facilities have fueled my enthusiasm for nurturing young minds. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your little ones! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or are interested in my services.

I am a mom myself! I understand that when you leave your baby with anyone you’re leaving a piece of your heart. This truly is a passion for me. Every child deserves to have love and safe care. I also have my degree in psychology that was focused around child centered studies. Every child is a unique individual and should be treated as such. After my heels and Montessori and receiving my Montessori, infinite and toddlers certification, I also believe in following the child. Yes routine and structure is important. However, getting to know a child in their needs is much more important.
