Find experienced babysitters in Hardy, VA

Hello! My name is Luanna, I am 26 years old and graduated from VCU with a bachelor's in psychology and criminal justice. Towards the end of my undergraduate studies, I shifted my focus on child development. I am working on my masters degree as well as my teaching license. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am also comfortable with travel and also have a clean driving record and a drivers license. I have a younger brother that I watched growing up and eventually began babysitting around my neighborhood. I was a high school and college athlete, so babysitting allowed me to have a more flexible schedule. I briefly worked at a Montessori preschool as an assistant teacher as well. I have experience in all ages (from 2 months to 17 years old) and training with a wide range of special needs and disabilities. I am a substitute teacher working to become an elementary school teacher, eventually working towards my masters in administration. I am bilingual (Portuguese and English). Housework, transportation, and pets are no issue. I’m a believer that my role in the house is to be an extra helper who makes your life easier! I am recently engaged and they will often offer an extra set of hands for me when needed. I hope to bring comfort and more stability into your home and assist your family as much as possible. My hope is to develop a reliable and personal relationship. I encourage physical activity and spending time outdoors as much as possible and to have as much fun as you can whenever you can. I will always try to create a healthy environment with open communication, and learn how to best support your children in whatever their interests may be. My main goal is to be able to assist in your child’s mental and physical development as well as their emotional wellbeing. I practice gentle parenting ideologies and hope to become a safe space for your children. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I appreciate the opportunity and thank you for your time. - Luanna P.

Hi! My name is Fredricka, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter available for evening and weekend childcare. I have experience caring for children through helping with my younger sibling and cousins, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with homework, preparing simple meals and snacks, playing, keeping kids on their routines, and helping with bedtime. I currently work in healthcare, so I’m used to being responsible, attentive, and staying calm when things don’t go exactly as planned. I’m also CPR certified. I’m looking to build my childcare experience while providing families with someone they can feel comfortable trusting with their children. I’m especially available for date nights, evenings after 6 PM, and weekend babysitting. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see if I’m a good fit for your childcare needs!

Kelly’s Bio I am a experienced Certified Nursing Assistant and basic life support certified. I have previous experience as a daycare provider at Teens and Tots. I have let my certification expire, but I previously was certified to teach children in a preschool setting. I earned an associates degree in science from Virginia Western in 2013. I have excellent references from the LTC facility I provided post operative and hospice care on a skilled unit. My biggest asset as a caregiver is my attention to detail and being proactive in all situations. My goal is to provide a safe, educational, and nurturing environment for the individual(s) who needs my care. A little about me: I love to study culture and language and have traveled to 14 countries. I have completed several nutrition courses and my main passion is cooking and creating healthy and balanced meals for my family. I am a avid hiker and outdoors-lady with a lifetime goal of finishing the Appalachian Trail as well as the Pacific Crest trail. I am great with animals and have three rescues myself, I can assist with animal care as well.

I’m a mother myself and I have been one for 2 years. However I have been watching kids all my life and babysitting for family and friends. I know how to do cpr in case of emergencies.

I would love this opportunity to babysit because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and have experience caring for my younger family members. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I always make sure children feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy keeping them entertained, helping with their routines, and being someone they can feel comfortable around. I would treat your children with the same care and attention I would give my own family.

I’ve been babysitting since I was about 12 years old, and when I didn’t do that I would be working with kids as a teacher’s assistant. I’ve also been a nanny before too. I’m working on my cpr certification now!

Hi my name is Jae’lyn I am a college student at Roanoke college. I am studying to be an elementary school teacher.
