I have been working with infants and children for the last 10 years and I also have three children of my own. I have my Associate's degree in Psychology and I am continuing my education in hopes to become an Adolescent Clinical Therapist. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I love working with kids on a personal level by learning their personality. I use a hands-on approach to gain the trust of both parent and child. Providing childcare isn't just a job, it's accepting to play a large role in a child's life and help guide them as they grow and develop. I love fun and smiles but I also like to promote educational activities appropriate to the child's age (for example going over the alphabet or doing puzzles with a toddler, or practicing tummy time with an infant!) I strive to become not only their babysitter, but one of their best friends. I have a genuine love and passion for kids and I have realized this is my life's calling. I think that providing childcare would be the best job for me while I am continuing my education because it's doing what I love, working in the direction I plan to go with my career and also allows me to keep my son with me while I work, which gives him the opportunity to interact with other children. I have excellent writing and verbal skills, my specialty is drawing and arts & crafts, skilled hider, below average seeker, animal lover, excellent board game player, excellent story time reader and swing pusher, great at cuddling and I know the tickle monster very well, excellent boo-boo kisser, and I may not be the best singer or dancer but that doesn't stop me from putting on a show. I don't mind embarrassing myself for a laugh (well for the kids at least)! It's so easy to make them smile and I absolutely love doing it.

I’m a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with a strong passion for working with infants. I focus on creating a safe, comforting environment where babies can grow, develop, and feel secure. Certified in First Aid and CPR, I prioritize their safety at all times. I also build strong relationships with both the infants and their families, offering individualized care that meets each child’s needs. My goal is to provide a calm and loving atmosphere where they feel supported and cherished. As my native language is Spanish, I can introduce babies to the language early on, which is a wonderful added benefit for families interested in bilingual exposure.

I love babysitting because I use to take early education classes. I continued to want to understand more about child development and it was pretty handy coming from a big family. Im the eldest child so often everyone felt comfortable asking me to babysit, and I eventually welcomed my own child. I then decided I wanted to advance my skills and became a behavior technician for 1 year.

Hi everyone! My name is Alani and I am a full time Nursing student at Old Dominion University class of 2026. I have a couple of years of experience working with children. I have two nephews of my own and I work in a daycare facility. I have worked with children from ages 0-12 and I am comfortable with pets! I love being a babysitter because of my love for children. I have grown up around big dogs, so pets won’t be an issue! Once I graduate, I am planning on becoming a pediatric nurse. Over my childcare career I have been fortunate enough to learn patience and time management! I have also taken several online and college courses about child development which allow me to better understand how to care for children. I am also CPR certified and a NREMT and licensed in Virginia. Please reach out with any questions!

Hi! I’m Roseline, but everyone knows me as Rosie. I’m 19 (almost 20!) and I have several years of babysitting experience with friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and kids ages 5–10, but I feel especially confident caring for toddlers and school-aged children. I’m a friendly, energetic, and creative babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing games, using our imaginations, or heading outside, I love keeping children engaged and having fun. I’m patient, organized, and calm even in hectic moments, and I always prioritize safety while making sure everyone has a great time. I can help with homework in English, math, and science, and I’m also able to cook simple, comforting meals. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fluent in both English and Spanish, comfortable with pets, and available to drive if transportation is needed. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and positive environment for your kids — and to give parents complete peace of mind while they’re in my care.
