As a high profile Nanny/Babysitter and House Manager, I have been responsible for families of various sizes, whose parents are visible professional and government officials and have been in charge of children with both disabilities and also of very high intellect and educational status. The estates I have managed were vast and have needed to housesit while parents were briefly away. Each assignment has been referred by other families and I look forward to discussing the needs of a new family once a good fit is determined. -- Thank You!

SERIOUS ENQUIRES ONLY PLEASE! Hi! My name is Danielle. I am a former graduate from Virginia State University and currently living in the Williamsburg/JCC area. I am looking for a family I can offer my services to on a full-time or part time basis during the week and I am open to working for families only looking for occasional/date night babysitting as well. Currently I am available to start immediately and available till the end of August. Please bare in mind that I do have atleast 10 years of professional experience working with children, which includes as an in-home childcare provider, preschool teacher, and a former contracted childcare provider serving the military. As a nanny my responsibilities included running errands, doing laundry, handling pick ups/drop offs, taking children on outings, making light meals, making grocery lists, making sure the living room, kitchen, children bedrooms and play areas are in order, changing diapers, and creating and engaging in children's activities. My main experience comes from working with children from infants-14 years old, some of which includes children with or without special needs and disabilities. I can provide you with my First Aid/ CPR certifications, resume, and references. :) P. S. I have my own means of reliable transportation too :)

Hi, I am a French American student. I have grown up in a large family near Paris my whole life. My mother is American and my father is French; I speak fluent French and English. I am now in the US, and have just finished my studies at Boston College. I love to cook, paint, do sports and sew. I have been trained in France to be a fireman, I have my certificate in firefighting and EMT. I love cooking French desserts and painting in my spare time. I really like being with children which is why I studied Neuroscience in connection with childhood education.

Caring for children is more than a job to me, it is my passion and my calling. I bring a calm, nurturing presence and believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English from Old Dominion University and have over a decade of experience working with children in a variety of educational and childcare settings. My background includes caring for children in university-based daycare centers, working in Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools and Virginia Beach Public Schools, and serving as a Children’s Services Specialist with WHRO Public Media, where I led enrichment programs focused on literacy, creativity, and hands-on learning. I am trained in maintaining safe learning environments, supporting social-emotional development, and keeping children actively engaged through age-appropriate educational activities, arts and crafts, storytelling, and structured play. I am also a new mother, which has deepened my understanding of the importance of trust, safety, and nurturing care. Families can rely on me to be dependable, attentive, and fully present with their children. I am currently seeking weekday part-time babysitting opportunities and would love the chance to support your family with compassionate, high-quality care.

Hi Families! I am Emma. I have worked in the childcare field for over five years, with experiences ranging from nannying to being an infant teacher, even spending time as a summer camp counselor. I have worked with all ages and have experience with taking care of multiple children at once. My passion for working with children stems from my desire to make a positive impact on their lives as well as supporting the families I work with. I believe in fostering a safe and nurturing environment where children can not only learn and grow but also have fun! I strive for open communication with parents and will provide regular updates throughout the day, including pictures, as well as a brief summary of the day upon the parents' request. I am comfortable with enforcing household rules while following the parents' lead to ensure consistency for the child/children. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including educational games, sports, and board games. Throughout my time as a nanny, I have potty trained, taught basics of counting and reading, and encouraged problem-solving through activities as well as real-life situations. Additionally, I believe that outings such as parks, museums, and libraries are not only fun but provide a key part in the progression of social and emotional skills in young children. I am currently a junior pursuing my degree in Art History through Umass Lowell, in my free time I enjoy cooking and baking as well as reading and spending time with my family and my pets, I look forward to chatting with you!
