We hired Anna to watch our two children (2 and 5) while we were in town for a wedding. She was wonderful! The kids had a lot of fun and loved spending time with her. We felt like our kids were in great hands and were able to enjoy the wedding festivities.

Hi there! My name is Mickey I am 21 years old I am located in Dyke (just north of Cville!) I use She/Her pronouns and I'm a babysitter/nanny looking to expand my work experience and make some money to support my family. I'm studying to be a preschool teacher at PVCC. I am a part time floater teacher at a childcare center in Charlottesville. I have worked with infants - middle school aged children.

I love to learn and grow with each babysitting/nanny opportunity that I get. I typically will bring activities to do with the children but if parents have other activities in mind or suggestions I would love to know! If you have any questions for me or would like to get to know me more please feel free to send me a message at any point. I try my best to respond in a timely manner (typically within a 24 hour period but usually sooner). Availability: I am currently available after 6PM on weekdays and Saturdays, and anytime on Sundays. occasionally I will be available Saturdays as well. My only issue is that I don’t drive (hoping to change that soon!) but I am able to take Jaunt (bus) and after 6:00 PM on weekdays and Saturdays, and anytime on Sundays I can get a ride from family. Certifications/Other qualifications: * Adult and pediatric first aid/cpr/aed certificate * Virginia Preservice Training For Child Care Staff Certificate * Child Abuse and Neglect: Recognition and Reporting certificate * Abusive Head Trauma Prevention Training for Child Care Providers Certificate * Health Screening for Child Care Professionals (DHO) Certificate * STOP.LOOK.ASK.GO: Food Allergy Education for Early Childhood Professionals Certificate Extra: Pet friendly!

We've used Mickey's babysitting services for our 4 year old daughter while our 13 year old son was home as well (doing mostly his own thing). My daughter absolutely loved Mickey and has asked multiple times when she is coming back! Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance yet for another date night, but when we have another one, Mickey will be the one we will call. Mickey was very kind, she actively played with my daughter, was very engaging and took great care of her. She cooked an easy dinner for both our kids and she was very responsive to our messages and calls beforehand and during the evening. We would highly recommend Mickey to everyone who needs a babysitter that loves to hang out with your children and has great responsibility!

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, I'm Sophia! I'm 24 years old. I absolutely love children and have been babysitting since I was 11 years old. My professional experience ranges from getting kids on and off the school bus, getting them ready for bed and getting them up in the morning, preparing snacks and meals for them, full-time and overnight care, etc. I have watched a super incredible 4 year old with Downs Syndrome and his 6 month old sister. I nannyed for an awesome 8 year old (whom I watched from ages 5-8) on the autism spectrum. I have also watched twins. Additionally, I have watched an infant with Downs Syndrome, and three siblings under the age of 10. I was a full-time nanny for 3 years for a wonderful infant into toddler stages. I myself also have younger siblings. I love children, and being able to have a positive impact on everyone's life. I do work another job 7-4:30pm, so nowadays I generally have late afternoon and evening/night availabilities, on weekdays (and weekends I am often available all day), so perfect for anyone looking for after-school care and date/self-care nights. Thanks and have a lovely day! :-)

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.
