We had our great great niece came to live with us 7/2017 she was 12 lbs at 1 yr old and Dr said failure to thrive. She and her Dad lived with us until 1/2019. She was above weight, height, physical fitness when they were able to move out. The father and mother learned parenting and child safety. I was a nanny for a 4 month old for a Navy Master Chief 8 months and they were transferred. For the last 8 months I have been a nanny for a Navy JAG Lawyer and his wife; whom is a Doctor at Sentara.

Hello! My name is Luanna, I am 23 years old and recently 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. Currently, I am a nanny to 3 different families. I Graduated in May 2022 and began working at a group home when I realized that I preferred working with younger children and returned to personal child care. 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 Richmond VA; however, we are hoping to be given an opportunity to move out of the state. We are simply seeking a new start out of college and to move away from our hometowns. 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.

Currently, I am pursuing a B.S. in Early Childhood and Interdisciplinary Studies at Liberty, with an anticipated graduation in Spring 2026. I am currently CPR/AED certified and renewing my first aid certification. I have a deep passion for working with children and am fascinated by their growth and development during the critical early years.

Hi everyone! I’m a professional ballerina with Syracuse City Ballet, and just looking for some extra work. I am the oldest of five children and teach ballet classes to children too! I love playing fun games, going outside with the kids, occasional ice cream trips of course, and just hanging out and doing crafts/ watching movies. I miss my family back home and my siblings back home so babysitting will help me feel fulfilled and happier too :)

Hello!! Thank you for taking a look. My name is Jennie. I was born and raised in the U.K. We moved to the U.S.A when I was 18 and I lived and went to uni in Atlanta. I moved out to LA after graduation where I was a professional nanny for 11 years. I first started working with celebrity families and then had the opportunity to train with special needs children and their families in the behavioral health department at Cedars Sinai Hospital in LA. My husband and I left the city when we started our own family 12 years ago. I have many years experience with families and children with special needs. I am a trained ABA therapist. I have worked with multiples. I am trained to use nebulizers, epipens, trained in seizure first aid, (currently up to date on all CPR certifications and Covid protocols.) I've been a newborn care provider (my own included), and been part of early child development and infant intervention programs within centers, home programs and schools. I've worked at summer camps. I have French family and speak french. My husband is from Argentina so I speak some Spanish, and there is certainly bit of a language jumble going on at family get togethers😊. I think my strength is having patience and finding joy, fun and delight in the little things children do, so I love my job! It could be seeing a 10 year old feeling awesome because they crushed me at Monopoly, a 5 year old 300% involved in building a marble roller coaster, and as a mom, I totally appreciate the quiet peace of little infant snores. I like to swim, bike ride, enjoy sports and arts and crafts. I am used to travelling with families and finding ways to occupy and enrich the childrens' hours without using screens, while in a limited environment e.g. hotel room. My undergraduate degree was in Theater and I love to bring that creativity and humor to my work. I have spent many overnights with infants and children. Worked for a few years within the public school system. I am trained in RIE and infant care. We have recently returned to Roanoke to be nearer to my elderly parents, and I looking for work within the Roanoke area. I have references here and in California. Please feel free to reach out. Have a beautiful day. 🙏 Thank you. Jennie

I am an experienced early childhood professional with an in-home family day care and about 18 years of experience. I have had an in- home day care in the past, but decided to take a different career path while I was having my own babies (now ages 3 and 8). I have a dedicated daycare space in my home and provide a fun, safe, loving, and educational environment. I will also be available for before and after school care. I am renovating my daycare space and will be opening in the second week of April. Please reach out to schedule a meeting and a tour :)
