Hi there! My name is Tamar and I'm currently a student at Liberty University for nursing. I have over 7 years of experience and I'm glad to provide references! I have multiple nephews and nieces, several years of babysitting and nannying, teaching experience in my church's children's ministry, and I coordinated a non-profit to increase children's literacy for single moms with young kids. I'm super flexible and I'd love to chat about how I can help you!

Tamar worked with our family for the summer before returning to nursing school. She was such an amazing asset that we want her to work for us next summer. We have four children, four years old and younger, and she was able to manage all of their activities-both educational and fun! She is kind, patient, and creative. She is independent and sets a wonderful routine and schedule that is functional for the family. Her calm demeanor and reliability put my mind at ease knowing that our children were in her care daily. We also used Tamar for date nights and she is so skilled at getting all four children to sleep in a calm way. I highly recommend Tamar for baby sitting or nannying - especially multiple children. She is a rare blessing and we are so lucky to now have her as a part of our family!

I’m a recent graduate of highschool, and at 18 I’ve already been working with children for 7+ years. I’m the oldest of six kids, and have been around children of all ages my whole life. I started professionally babysitting by 11, and Nannied at 14-16. I love working with and caring for children, I’m hoping to be the right fit for the right family! I’m pet-friendly, can cook, clean, and achieve any task you ask of me. My starting rate is $19-$30 per hour, but it’s negotiable depending on the family. I’m looking for full-time weekdays, and 30-40 hour weeks.

My name is Riley and I’ve been babysitting since I was 9 years old! I am cpr and first-aid certified through OSHA. I’m currently a student at CVCC for general studies, and a server at Texas Roadhouse in Lynchburg. I have experience with all ages and love crafts! Most importantly, I will do things your way! I am a rule follower and I treat everyone with respect regardless of age or status. I have never had to potty train before, but I am more than happy to help with your child’s journey! I am no stranger to carpet cleaning, laundry, or removing stains/ smells. I am a stronger believer of leaving spaces better than how I found them. Please feel free to reach out to me via email or phone call to ask me questions or set up a meeting to make sure I’ll be the best fit for your family!

Hi! My name is Madeline, I am 20 years old and a junior at Liberty University studying public health. I have a huge family so I have always been around children younger than me. I love being around kids! I have experience with mostly baby’s and toddlers but also with the older ones too. I love to play and have fun with the kids I babysit for. Finding ways to play and seeing what things each child likes to do is really amazing. Seeing kids have fun is such a joy. Also I love being a help whenever and where ever I can. Helping around the house or with drop offs is never a problem.

Hello families! My name is Taylor Chewning and I have been in the childcare field for two years. I am currently majoring in elementary education at Liberty University. I have CPR and First Aid certification for infants, children, and adults. I have a paraprofessional certification as well as training in dyslexia awareness and various Penn State preservice completions for child care staff. My Early Childhood Education classes at my local community college helped me learn how young children are wired and how to interact with them accordingly. I worked in a primary school with ages 4-6 for one year and am currently working at a Montessori school. Right now I interact with and care for children ranging from ages between 6 months and 10 years old. My top priorities in any childcare position are safety, development, and creating a loving atmosphere where kids can be themselves. I am great with homework help and love to teach kids new games, skills, and problem-solving techniques. I was blessed to win first place at the Educators Rising 2025 Conference by creating and delivering a STEM lesson to kindergarten students. My students learned something new that day while also having a memorable lesson that many of them talked about for weeks afterwards. I can change any diaper and am willing to help with potty training as well! I have developed a close relationship with many of my students and care for them all very deeply. When children are under my watch I respect the wishes and routines of parents while also caring for each child as if they were my own. If your family is in need of childcare, I would love to be considered! Please feel free to reach out for references or further information if you so desire. Have a blessed day

I love being a sitter because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree and have caregiving experience as a CNA, along with CPR and First Aid training. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to children’s needs. I enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow while giving parents peace of mind that their children are in good hands.

Im always positive! Love socializing and am a hard worker! I adore kids! I can't wait to have some myself! Ive only worked at daycares! I love interacting with them, making them laugh and smile, teaching them how to say names and recognize animals and what sounds they make, teaching them hoe to take their first steps! Children are the sweetest things, and I have a heart for them all! Children are such blessings and they deserved to be taken care of and showered with everlasting love!
