Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving Auntie and experienced Nanny. My child care experience ranges from newborns to teens, including children with disabilities, in home and daycare settings for the past ten years. I approach each assignment with curiosity, taking note and asking questions to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I strive to establish trust and routine with the children in my care, by asking them questions, reading books, and leading developmentally appropriate activities and games. More about me: I am First Aid/CPR trained, fluent in American Sign Language, and have a reliable vehicle. I spend my down time hiking, reading, baking, roller skating, and making pottery at a local studio. I work weekday mornings as a lunch lady in a middle school, offering babysitting services every weekend and on weekdays after 1:00 pm. If your family is searching for a friendly & reliable babysitter in the Harrisonburg area, I would love to hear from you! 🌟

Hi! I am a recent college graduate from JMU who is living in Harrisonburg and looking to help out families :) I have provided care for local families and those living closer to an hour away. I like working with kids because I like getting to experience lots of joyful, simplistic interactions and providing teaching moments. I love how working with kids is rewarding for everyone all around. I can allow a parent/caregiver to feel comfortable putting their children in reliable hands while I serve as a role model and engage in activities. I started working with kids my freshman year of high school. I have been working with kids for nine years. I have watched children from 20+ different families from ages 4 mos-11 years across various settings. I have experience watching children at my own home, parent/caregiver's home, church, hotels, and wedding venues. In addition, I've spent time substitute teaching for preschool-middle school classes. I am certified in CPR and first aid. In my spare time, I like to do anything outside such as going on long walks, playing spikeball and pickleball, and going hiking! I also love baking. My skills include patience, communication, and organization.

I’ve been in childcare for over 17 years. I started as working in my home. I’ve been a full-time nanny for the last eight years. I also have DSP recognization under my belt. It’s a passion that I enjoy. I love children. I love helping families. I am also the employee of record for my mother, so I hire people to attend to her medical needs Monday through Friday and sometimes the weekend I was her care aid, but I continuously want to stay in the field of working with the children, so that’s why I moved up to her employee of record. I have references to back my word up. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am a mother of three. I am a wife and a woman of God.

I'm a rising college senior with 6 years of experience babysitting, coaching swim (ages 6-18) and Girls on The Run, and teaching individual swim lessons (ages 4-12). I believe in creating fun, supportive environments where kids can feel safe to explore, express themselves, and grow. My goal is to be a mentor who uplifts, listens, and empowers young people through connection and play! I'm CPR & First Aid certified, and my years of child supervision in a pool setting have made me a safety conscious sitter! I have a car and can provide transportation for myself and children, and I am comfortable with meal prep and light housework. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and kind. I always show up with a smile ready to make the day meaningful!
