Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving Auntie and experienced Nanny. My child care experience ranges from newborns to teens, including children with disabilities, in home and daycare settings for the past ten years. I approach each assignment with curiosity, taking note and asking questions to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I strive to establish trust and routine with the children in my care, by asking them questions, reading books, and leading developmentally appropriate activities and games. More about me: I am First Aid/CPR trained, fluent in American Sign Language, and have a reliable vehicle. I spend my down time hiking, reading, baking, roller skating, and making pottery at a local studio. I work weekday mornings as a lunch lady in a middle school, offering babysitting services every weekend and on weekdays after 1:00 pm. If your family is searching for a friendly & reliable babysitter in the Harrisonburg area, I would love to hear from you! 🌟

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! :-)
