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!

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.

I graduated in 2019 with a BA in French and Spanish. I am a very hardworking and caring individual and, I love children. I am very family oriented with a little brother of my own that I have cared for my entire life. He is like a son to me. Before leaving North Carolina where I attended school, I was working every day with children grades K-12 at an after-school program along with my studies and playing basketball. I currently babysit regularly for several local families. I have been working professionally in childcare since 2017, and babysitting since I was 16 years old. I have experience with working with children one on one and/or multiple children in a group setting, so babysitting multiple children is no problem for me. In addition to assisting the children with homework and other academic assignments, I was an art and language teacher at the after school program mentioned above, and a tutor as well. I still currently tutor. I would be willing to work with your child on those things while babysitting. I am CPR certified and have BLS training. I believe in being very active and hands-on with activities because that is the best way to learn and play ! General availability: weekends/evenings/nights

Hi! My name is Larissa, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient babysitter who truly enjoys supporting families and creating a safe, happy environment for children. I completed a babysitting course through my local hospital at age 12 and have since babysat for five different families on and off over the years. During COVID, I spent nearly every day caring for a family’s two children along with their dog, new puppy, and cat, helping with playtime, routines, and daily care. I still babysit for them occasionally and remain in touch, which means a lot to me. The kids even say I’m their favorite babysitter because I’m fun, kind, and attentive. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, creative games, and helping with homework while keeping screen time balanced. I’m also happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, tidying play areas, laundry, and light household tasks to make your day easier. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and communicate clearly with parents. I’m available for one-time, last-minute, or recurring care, and I would love the opportunity to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your family.

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!

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.
