Find experienced babysitters in Bumpass, VA

Hello! Hello! I’m the mom of a 7-year-old daughter and have nearly 20 years of experience working with children from birth through age 14 as a nanny, substitute teacher, preschool teacher, and pediatric care attendant. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and am currently a first-year nursing student. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting, back-up care, date nights, and can provide overnight care on select weekends. Because I’m in nursing school, my availability may change from semester to semester, however, I’m flexible and can often accommodate additional hours when needed. I am CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience with pediatric trach and G-tube care and supporting non-verbal or limited-verbal children. I love planning fun, engaging activities like art, science projects, sensory play, reading, and nature walks. Pets, including cats, friendly dogs, reptiles, etc. are all fine with me. I also have experience working through Consumer Direct Care Network (CDCN) for families using consumer-directed care services. Please feel free to reach out with questions!

My name is Lelia, and I have been working with kids as a foster parent for 38 years. I've adopted 7 kids, and worked with my own daycare for 15 years. I'm retired, and I feel like I could still do so much more. I enjoy being with children and teaching them.

I am ambitious and creative but disciplined and hardworking. I absolutely love working with children and planning such fun activities while we wait for you to come home! One thing about me that sets me apart from others is that I will not just sit your child in front of the TV. Everyday will be fun filled and something to look forward too!

I am currently a LPN for almost 2 years, I have been a caregiver for 8 years. I worked with children, while getting through nursing school and I want to get back to it. I love caregiving in every way! I love cooking, cleaning, helping with homework and everything else that comes with being a sitter.

I graduated high school a year ago and am currently enrolled in Germanna. I have two much younger sisters and have played a big part in raising both of them. I have learned a lot through them and I started sitting for other families a few years ago. I love doing it and it’s very fulfilling. What’s most important to me is making a positive impact on families and being there for them in anyway I’m needed. Please contact me if you think I’d be a good fit!!

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and reliable sitter with years of paid child care experience. I enjoy helping children feel safe, happy, and understood while keeping their routine on track.

Hi! My name is Kayla Hoodless. I am 19 years old, and I just finished my sophomore year as a college student at Radford University. I babysat for many families all throughout middle school and high school, and I would love to go back to babysitting during the summers that I am home from school. I love kids of all ages, and I think babysitting is such a rewarding job. I can cook, clean, drive, assist with pet care, and I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I am also Red Cross certified, and have taught many kids how to swim. I am very patient, and I love building a connection with the families and children that I babysit for. I am available every day and all hours of the week! I want to work hard all summer to start paying off my college loans, and to help support my parents and siblings.

Dear Family, My name is Rachel Bacon, and I am a graduate of Old Dominion University with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology. I was excited to see your post and would love the opportunity to tell you about myself and the skill set I contribute to the workplace. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I have been babysitting since middle school and began working in schools and childcare settings at age 16. Over the years, I have gained experience in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake schools, as well as private preschool programs. Since graduating college, I have worked as a lead teacher with children ranging from 3 months to 4½ years old, creating engaging learning experiences while maintaining a safe, nurturing, and organized environment. My dedication to education began early in my life. As a student at Bayside High School, I participated in Virginia Teachers for Tomorrow, a program designed to foster interest and understanding of the teaching profession. During my senior year, I was recognized by Virginia Beach City Public Schools as an Outstanding Future Educator and received a guaranteed teaching contract—an honor awarded to only a select group of students each year. I graduated with both Honors and Advanced Diplomas and have continued building my skills through hands-on experience with infants through elementary-aged children. Beyond my professional experience, I am a naturally caring, patient, and bubbly person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn and grow through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences. I believe many of these qualities come from the wonderful family and role models who helped shape me into the person I am today. Families often describe me as dependable, organized, energetic, and someone who brings a warm smile wherever I go. A little about me personally: I have lived in Virginia Beach my entire life and enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, taking long walks, practicing yoga, organizing spaces, baking, and continuing to learn about healthy living. I love creating positive connections with others and bringing enthusiasm and kindness into everything I do comes naturally. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and discuss how my experience and passion for working with children could be a great fit for your family’s needs.
