My name is Lynn Birckhead, and I would love to support your family’s childcare needs. I bring both professional and personal experience to the role—I’m a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and currently serve as a Practice Manager at a busy family medicine office here in Charlottesville. Before entering nursing, I spent 12 wonderful years as a dedicated nanny for two families, caring for their children from infancy through their school years. Those years were incredibly meaningful to me and shaped my lasting love for working with children. Caring for children has always been an important part of my life—past, present, and future. I truly enjoy engaging with kids—whether it’s reading stories, playing games, helping with routines, or simply creating a space where they feel safe, happy, and heard. I’m generally available on weekends and most evenings with a bit of notice, and I would be honored to help care for your little ones. I look forward to connecting with you! Warmly, Lynn

Lynn has been an absolute blessing! I couldn’t imagine a better person to watch our baby Max. She is timely, professional, loving and trustworthy. Max grins from ear to ear and bounces with happiness to see her and he is always in the best mood when we come home. She has followed all our parenting requests perfectly, and we have never felt any tension or conflict regarding our parenting style (timing of naps, how and when to feed him, etc.). She has also been great with our anxious dog, who enjoys her visits as well. Absolutely perfect!

Hi! My name is Selena, and I’m a 20-year-old online college student at Piedmont University. Caring for children has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up with a single mother, I helped raise my younger siblings from a very young age, which naturally taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for children with love and structure. Over the years, I’ve gained experience babysitting for cousins, close family friends, and through private nanny positions. I’ve also mentored school-aged children and worked at a trampoline park in Charlottesville, where I spent a lot of time supervising and interacting with kids in a fun but safe environment. These experiences helped me learn how to connect with children of all ages while still maintaining clear boundaries and discipline when needed. I truly love working with kids and creating a positive, supportive environment where they feel safe, happy, and encouraged to be themselves. I’m very patient, kind, and nurturing, but I also understand the importance of structure, respect, and consistency. In addition to childcare, I’m a great cook and enjoy preparing meals and snacks for families. I’m also very organized and happy to help with cleaning and keeping the home tidy. I’ve been CPR certified for several years through previous work requirements and will be renewing my certification soon. I’m passionate about helping families however I can, whether that means keeping kids engaged, helping with routines, or simply being a reliable extra set of hands. I absolutely adore children and animals, and I hope to be a mother one day myself. For now, I’m just excited to support families and care for their little ones with the same love and attention I would give my own.

My wife and I hired Pam for a much needed date night. This was the first time we have hired a babysitter, so my wife was nervous about it. Pam was great. My 8 year old daughter gave us the full report when we got home. We got home at 11pm, the twin boys were asleep (which is a rarity) in their room and my daughter was sleeping on the couch. She was able to keep up with my 2 year olds and when it was time for them to sleep, she even sang to them (reported by my daughter) to help them fall asleep. Once they were asleep, she played board games with my daughter until around 10:30 (we told her that our daughter could stay up as late as she wanted tonight). I would recommend Pam to anyone who is looking for a night off from the kids and will definitely hire her in the future.

Avery was FANTASTIC! She was incredibly attentive and attuned to our 11 month old daughter. She was also very patient and understanding when our daughter had a difficult day with her naps. Avery has a calming presence and our daughter loved spending her days with her. We hope Avery can help out with our daughter again down the road.

Hey there! My name is Courtney and I’m a 28 year young mother to the sweetest little girl. I’m very spontaneous, trusting, & loyal to the core.
