Find experienced babysitters in Middletown, VA

Greetings Parents and Guardians, If you’re reading this, it means you are looking for a: trustworthy, experienced, caring, fun-loving, and safe babysitter for your most precious part of your life-your child(ren). I started babysitting when I was 10 and just kept going. I babysat all through college and even during my career as a teacher. I have worked with children in three ways: babysitting, tutoring, and being an elementary school teacher and media specialist. I even taught at the graduate school level which was very interesting and entertaining as the adults complained more about homework than my fifth graders! I enjoy children and I respect their idiosyncrasies and personalities. With this in mind, I have experience with children who are gifted and talented and as well as those who are on the autism spectrum. Not every babysitter has that experience nor is comfortable with children on the spectrum or gifted. I enjoy doing crafts and especially baking with the children I babysit. My pizza parties are very popular! It’s important we have fun together but also learn life skills in the process. I adore reading to children and believe that reading should bookend our day together. Additionally, if you have pets—that’s wonderful! I adore cats and dogs and find their presence in a family so warm and fun. Certainly, my bio has you excited to book and meet me! I can’t wait to meet your children! So contact me to schedule a meeting with you and your family. I look forward to adding your child(ren) to my babysitting schedule.

Hello! I'm a loving, caring, dependable, and protective mother from Virginia who understands the anxiety and stress of finding someone you can truly trust with your child. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm currently attending college to earn my degree in Elementary and Special Education. I also work as a Special Education Assistant and Behavior Technician, where I support children with a variety of learning, behavioral, and developmental needs. These experiences have strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to provide individualized care for every child. I helped raise my niece from infancy, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for young children. My mom transports children with special needs to and from school, field trips, and activities, and I grew up helping alongside her. This allowed me to learn about the unique needs, personalities, and strengths of children ages 3 and older from an early age. I am also the proud mom of two wonderful children, ages 13 and 4. They are my world, and being their mom has taught me the value of creating a loving, structured, and nurturing environment. Our home is clean, safe, and welcoming, with plenty of toys and space for children to learn, play, and have fun. I offer babysitting in my home or in your home, depending on your family's needs. My goal is to provide dependable, high-quality care while giving parents the peace of mind they deserve. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can trust with your little ones!

Hey guys! For starters, I have been working with kids since I was 13 at my church. I worked with all different age groups. Years later (more so after high school), I became a paid babysitter/nanny for multiple different families. So far, it's been very rewarding. A little bit about myself, I am 29. I have been babysitting/nannying for 8 years now.I do have my CNA certificate, as well as my First Aid Training and CPR certificate. I also have my Associates Degree. I will be starting my online program to become a Surgical Technician, starting this September (yes, I will be able to work full time). FYI I am mainly on care.com. I have a five star review on there and I have watched 6 families thus far from there. Have a great day! Britney Schell

Hi there my name is Cecilia! I am currently in graduate school for physical therapy so am pretty busy during the day throughout the week, but have plenty of time in the evenings or on weekends for any of your childcare needs! I am a very active person so whenever I am taking care of children I love to make sure to include lots of fun and creative activities. I have lots of experience working in the past as a regular babysitter for multiple families and more recently have been working as an EMT part time while in school.
