My name is Sarah Rose and I am an admitted UVA student on a gap year. I was homeschooled throughout my entire K-12 education and I am one of seven siblings (two little brothers.) As an older sister in a homeschooled family, I spent hundreds of hours babysitting my little brothers, tutoring them on their schoolwork, keeping them safe, entertained, clean, fed, etc. This has been a constant job of mine for almost 10 years. Additionally, I spent 10 weeks, five days a week, working as an educational leader to five children grades 1 and 3, facilitating online learning, watching them, communicating with them about their responsibilities, and keeping them focused. I have worked with numerous other families as a babysitter, but these two are the most notable and long term positions. I am a fun and responsible sitter, I love music, reading, yoga, and I love kids! I am comfortable with friendly pets and available to drive. I am happy to provide references and a resume.

Hi there! I’m new on the app but not new as a sitter. I would describe myself as a friendly, reliable, caring, and child-focused nanny. I’m a patient, energetic, and responsible nanny with over 2 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can grow and thrive. I work at ISC (International School of Charlottesville) as an assistant teacher and work part time as a nanny. I believe in gentle discipline, creative play, and establishing routines that help children feel secure. I enjoy outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, and imaginative games.

I am a former teacher with a Bachelor's Degree in elementary education. I taught school for 13 years. I left public education because I didn't like all of the testing that my county was requiring my first graders to take. I feel that children should learn in an environment that fosters creativity and personal growth. After I quit teaching in public schools, I worked in daycare for 10 years. I left daycare for a few years and tried other work, but I want to return to my first love - working with children. I am excited and eager to care for children of any age as a babysitter or a nanny while making sure they have a great time, are safe, and learn something along the way.

Hello, my name is Bailey. I’m currently earning my Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Virginia and hold a bachelor’s degree in biology from Virginia Commonwealth University. I’ve completed over 400 hours of clinical training in a variety of settings, including emergency care and pediatrics. I’m CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and pride myself on being dependable and communicative. My experience working with children began at home, helping care for my three younger siblings—including a set of twins—which gave me a strong foundation in patience, multitasking, and creating a safe, supportive environment. In undergrad, I volunteered at the VCU daycare, gaining over 200 hours of hands-on experience with toddlers ages one to three. I assisted with daily routines such as meals, naps, outdoor play, and classroom cleanup. I also spent time volunteering at a pediatric COVID-19 vaccine clinic, where I read to children and monitored them after vaccination. I have a strong interest in pediatric nursing and truly enjoy working with children in both clinical and home settings. Babysitting allows me to combine my healthcare training with my passion for helping kids thrive in safe, engaging environments.
