Find experienced babysitters in Hardy, VA

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 Olivia. I am currently attending Radford University, I am majoring in Elementary Education. I am planning to get my Masters's degree in Special Education. I am home for the summer and in need of some extra money to start saving. I used to work at a local daycare. I was mainly put in the three-year-old room as an afternoon lead I just was not happy with the pay. I love kids. I have a lot of cousins who are in elementary school/prek. I sit them often. As I got older I really enjoyed spending time and providing a fun and safe environment for children. I grew up with younger cousins and I started sitting around the age of 13. I am flexible with elementary children as well. I interned at my Elementary school during my junior year of high school. I was placed in the fourth grade and I loved it. I find that I have the patience and I can be very involved with their interests. I enjoy planning activities and more to help the kids learn and have a bit of fun as well. I am free mostly during the week during the day. I can also work some weekends if needed.

Hello. I have three grown daughters. At one time I had a small daycare in my home and cared for children 5 and under. I currently work at Roanoke County schools part time so you can be confident that my background check is clear. I end my workday there at 1:30 so I am looking for an after school care position. I enjoy interacting with children through games and activities. I am a kind and patient caregiver. I have references from the parents of my small daycare.

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!!
