Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving Auntie and experienced Nanny. My child care experience ranges from newborns to teens, including children with disabilities, in home and daycare settings for the past ten years. I approach each assignment with curiosity, taking note and asking questions to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I strive to establish trust and routine with the children in my care, by asking them questions, reading books, and leading developmentally appropriate activities and games. More about me: I am First Aid/CPR trained, fluent in American Sign Language, and have a reliable vehicle. I spend my down time hiking, reading, baking, roller skating, and making pottery at a local studio. I work weekday mornings as a lunch lady in a middle school, offering babysitting services every weekend and on weekdays after 1:00 pm. If your family is searching for a friendly & reliable babysitter in the Harrisonburg area, I would love to hear from you! 🌟

Olivia is a punctual, responsible, and kind day time and night time babysitter. We have her several times a week and my 7 month old is all smiles every time she’s there. Through virtue of telework I am aware of how active and engaged she is each day. Constantly talking with my daughter, reading books, playing, she is a wonder! Very thankful for her!

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.

Hi! My name is Katie, and I have several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I began volunteering in my church nursery and childcare programs at the age of 12, which helped me develop a strong foundation in patience, responsibility, and caring for children in a safe and nurturing environment. As the oldest of four siblings, I also naturally grew into a caregiver role at home, helping with daily routines, schoolwork, and supervision. Professionally, I have worked in both a daycare setting and at a resort where I interacted with families and children regularly. Through these experiences, I have worked with children as young as 4 weeks old up to 14 years old. I am comfortable handling a wide range of needs including bottle feeding, diaper changes, playtime activities, homework help, and maintaining structure and routines. I am known for being dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to children’s needs. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident. I am currently looking for babysitting or nannying opportunities where I can continue doing what I love, caring for children and supporting families.

I absolutely love being a sitter because it allows me to create joyful, nurturing environments for children to thrive. There's something truly special about watching them explore, learn, and grow. My passion for working with kids has been shaped by over a decade of hands-on experience in various settings, including children's ministry and early childhood education. My degree in early childhood education has given me a strong foundation in child development, allowing me to understand the unique needs of each child I care for. I believe in fostering a supportive, engaging atmosphere where kids feel safe and encouraged to express themselves. Ultimately, being a sitter isn’t just a job for me; it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and their families.
