Find experienced babysitters in Hopewell, VA

Having a degree in early childhood, for the past twenty years, I have watched infants, toddlers, older children and twins. I find it rewarding to be involved in the toddler years with all the major learning and natural curiosity present during that age. In my previous childcare positions, the child and I have enjoyed visits to the library, park, and daily neighborhood walks. Walks always provide fun opportunities for observation of nature, squirrels, flowers, and outside activities. Keeping schedules and familiar routines has been a priority for me in working with young children. I believe it gives them a healthy sense of expectation and promotes security throughout their day. My past experience and knowledge of infants is an asset. I have cared for several children since birth and even have been called a “baby whisperer” due to my ability to identify their unspoken needs. I was also the “lead teacher” in the birth-to-crawlers nursery every Sunday at a church for several years. Infants are like little sponges picking up new surroundings in their world. I have watched several infants as well as being their first official nanny. I enjoy being an "observer" as they experience their first smiles, tastes, steps and new initial skills. I truly enjoy all children and as they grow, they grow on me!

Hi. I have many years of unpaid childcare experience…helping out friends and family. But I also had an in-home childcare for 12 years. The only reason I stopped doing this was because we moved into an apartment and no longer had the space to accommodate this. Most of the children started with me at about three months old, and stayed with me until they entered kindergarten. I have many references and I am infant through adult CPR and first aid certified. During those 12 years I kept the number of children at five, for more individual attention. I always had five, and they were full-time. We danced to silly songs, did crafts, baked, loved being outside, and just enjoy being kids. I am a loving, creative, and trustworthy person. I have always had a big heart for children, and all people really. I would love to meet you and see if you feel like I am a great fit for you and your family. 😊

Hi! My name is Niya, and I’m a 20-year-old nursing student currently working toward becoming a registered nurse. I love being a sitter because I’ve always enjoyed helping and caring for others, especially children. I’m very patient, energetic, nurturing, and easy to get along with, and I love creating a fun and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience babysitting children of different ages and have been helping care for kids since I was around 15 years old.
