Hello, My name is Davia Ford and I am 25 years old. Currently I am a professional ballet dancer with Roanoke Ballet Theatre. I have been nannying/babysitting as a paid position for about 7 years and I am experienced in caring for a variety of children from infants to twelve years. I love caring for children and I am gentle and patient but can be stern when needed. Many of my tasks from past jobs include but are not limited to school pickups, transporting to activities, helping with school/home work, cooking meals, snack prep, light cleaning, bathing, playing with the kids, light discipline, conflict resolution, etc. I am very comfortable caring for multiple children at a time. My most recent job is for a family with 2 kids aged 6 and 8 with one of them being a child with special needs. I hope that you will consider me as your child's caretaker.

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 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 am currently living in Roanoke VA; however, I am moving to Michigan by thanksgiving to be closer to family so relocation assistance would be preferred but not required. I am looking for a long-term position with one family and to build a personal relationship with you and your children. 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.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for others and being someone families can trust. It’s rewarding to know I can create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for children when their parents are away. Every child is different, and I enjoy building those individual connections, helping them learn, laugh, and feel supported. It’s more than just watching kids — it’s about showing up for them in ways that matter. I was working in an afterschool program at oak grove elementary called ASK. I am currently working at a family day home care program working with 3months- 12 year olds. I do have all my certificates in a folder so I would bring that with me!!

I love engaging kids in fun, safe activities that help them learn and grow, while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m dedicated to making each moment positive and reassuring. Families can count on me to treat their children with the same love and care I give my own!
