Hi there! My name is Lynn Birckhead, and I’d be delighted to help with your childcare needs. I bring a unique blend of professional and personal experience to the table—I’m a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and currently work as a Practice Manager at a busy family medicine office right here in Charlottesville. Before my nursing career, I spent 12 wonderful years as a nanny for two families, caring for their little ones until they grew up and headed off to school. Now, I'm thrilled to share that I'm about to become a grandmother for the very first time in just a couple of months—so caring for children is not just part of my past and present, but my future, too! I truly enjoy spending time with kids—reading stories, playing games, and simply making sure they feel safe, happy, and heard. I'm typically available on weekends and most evenings with a little notice, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. Looking forward to connecting with you! Warmly, Lynn

Hi my name is Becca. I am a registered nurse specializing in pediatrics and I just relocated to Charlottesville to pursue an outpatient pediatric job through UVA. A little bit more about me: I was the assistant coach for a swim team, where I got the privilege to work with kids ranging in age from 4 to 18 for the past 3 years. I also have taught swim lessons on the side which requires the art of persuasion, creativity, patience, and focus. I have been full time nanny, summer nanny and babysitter to many families with kids aging from 3 months to fifteen years. Through each of them, I have followed routines and cultivated age appropriate fun. I love leaving a report of bottles/meals including time and amount so parents know exactly what they missed. Every family I have worked with has made me felt like a member of the family and I remain close to many even after moving! I also have raised a golden retriever puppy, she is 2 years old so I consider myself to be dog friendly and I would make them feel loved just as much as your kids! If I sound like a good fit, please reach out and I would love to chat and meet your family!
