Hi there! My name is Jenna, I am 25 years old, I love kids, and have more than 7 years paid experience caring for children of all ages! I am a registered nurse with a pediatric background, as well as have childcare experience before becoming a nurse including various nannying jobs; working with a youth group while interning at a church; working at a large, popular preschool in the Richmond area; and having previous experience as a gymnastics instructor. As for me, in my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and animals (1 dog, Darby, and 1 horse, Peach).

Hi! I’m Sarah, a professional nanny with over 14 years of experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood. I specialize in infant and toddler care and am passionate about creating structured, nurturing environments where children feel safe, empowered, and truly loved. I’m Pediatric and Adult CPR/First Aid certified and have a background in Health Sciences, which I bring into every aspect of my care! In addition to working with private families, I’ve taught gymnastics to children ages 6 months to 12 years and volunteered at UVA Children’s Hospital in both the NICU and PICU. I also completed a pediatric physical therapy internship, where I worked directly with infants and young children to support developmentally appropriate care. I love planning creative, engaging activities that promote development: things like sensory play, baby sign language, outdoor adventures, storytime, obstacle courses, and crafts. I also enjoy making everyday routines feel fun and meaningful through songs, imaginative play, and connection-based guidance!

Sarah has been nannying for our son for a year, from infant to now toddler, and she’s been wonderful! She cares for his daily needs, engages in playtime and regular outside time, prepares his meals, and also goes above and beyond to use her training and education to work with him on developmental skills. She has been communicative and also super flexible when we need to change the schedule or ask her to care for our older child as well. We will miss her greatly when our guy starts preschool!
Shanell S.
- 2 years paid experience
- 7 miles
I am a senior at Randolph-Macon College majoring in accounting. I come from a big, extended family, so caring for children is something I’m very comfortable with. While I have had experience in caring for some of the children in my family in the past, my first (non-family related) paid babysitting was in 2019, and half of 2021 up to 2022 (partial)--2 years total. I like to think of myself as caring and patient, which is why I connect with children so easily. Babysitting has always been fun and never felt like a job! Note: I am first aid & CPR certified

I am 23 years old and recently graduated from college with a degree in Physical Education and a minor in Coaching. As a soon-to-be Physical Education teacher, I love working with children and helping them have fun while staying safe. I have experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs, and I have coached youth sports and led activities for large groups of children. In addition to my teaching experience, I have also babysat children and understand the importance of creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment. My background in education, child development, behavior management, and safety has helped me become patient, responsible, organized, and adaptable to each child’s individual needs. I have a passion for sports, especially basketball, and enjoy using games and activities to keep children active, engaged, and having fun.

Malak D.
- 3 years paid experience
- 13 miles
Hi! My name is Malak I also go by Mal, I’m 20 years old about to go to Reynolds community college, I would love to be a real estate agent when I’m done with college. I’m the oldest out of 5 children, my parents came to America about 15 years ago. They were working full time while I watched 4 of my siblings from 13 years old until 18 when I decided to move out on my own and start a new life. I love working with children it’s always been a blessing teaching life and creating bonds with the young ones nowadays. I feel as it is important to have a figure to look up to. I’ve been a team lead at Panera Bread for 2 years until I started to grow out of my position. Then I started watching kids as a side job to save up for college. I’ve found that kids love my personality because I love to engage in activities and I’m not a babysitting who likes to sit around!
