Find experienced babysitters in Milford, VA

I am currently a LPN for almost 2 years, I have been a caregiver for 8 years. I worked with children, while getting through nursing school and I want to get back to it. I love caregiving in every way! I love cooking, cleaning, helping with homework and everything else that comes with being a sitter.

Good evening! My name is Layla Morris, and I’m reaching out regarding your childcare needs. I am 21 years old and currently looking for a new nanny position. For the past 10 months, I have been a full-time nanny for twins (a boy and girl) who will be turning two in September and starting daycare the first week of August. I am currently an online junior at Norfolk State University majoring in Elementary Education, with hopes of becoming a teacher. My love for children started from being an auntie to my four nephews and one niece. Being involved in their lives, watching them grow, and having the opportunity to care for and teach them helped me realize that working with children is not just a job for me, but my passion and the career I want to pursue. I have years of childcare experience, including babysitting, working in an after-school program, and interning at a middle school. I am CPR certified, have my own vehicle, and have reliable transportation. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am patient, dependable, caring, and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they trust caring for their children. I would love the opportunity to speak with you and learn more about your family’s needs. Please let me know a good time for us to talk. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Dear Family, My name is Rachel Bacon, and I am a graduate of Old Dominion University with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology. I was excited to see your post and would love the opportunity to tell you about myself and the skill set I contribute to the workplace. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I have been babysitting since middle school and began working in schools and childcare settings at age 16. Over the years, I have gained experience in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake schools, as well as private preschool programs. Since graduating college, I have worked as a lead teacher with children ranging from 3 months to 4½ years old, creating engaging learning experiences while maintaining a safe, nurturing, and organized environment. My dedication to education began early in my life. As a student at Bayside High School, I participated in Virginia Teachers for Tomorrow, a program designed to foster interest and understanding of the teaching profession. During my senior year, I was recognized by Virginia Beach City Public Schools as an Outstanding Future Educator and received a guaranteed teaching contract—an honor awarded to only a select group of students each year. I graduated with both Honors and Advanced Diplomas and have continued building my skills through hands-on experience with infants through elementary-aged children. Beyond my professional experience, I am a naturally caring, patient, and bubbly person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn and grow through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences. I believe many of these qualities come from the wonderful family and role models who helped shape me into the person I am today. Families often describe me as dependable, organized, energetic, and someone who brings a warm smile wherever I go. A little about me personally: I have lived in Virginia Beach my entire life and enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, taking long walks, practicing yoga, organizing spaces, baking, and continuing to learn about healthy living. I love creating positive connections with others and bringing enthusiasm and kindness into everything I do comes naturally. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and discuss how my experience and passion for working with children could be a great fit for your family’s needs.

Fostering children's growth and development is my true passion. With two years of experience caring for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, I have developed a patient, calm, and creative approach to childcare. I hold certifications in First Aid Training and CPR Training, and I have completed coursework in Early Childhood Education. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, carpooling, and creative crafts. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I prioritize a fun and safe environment. I follow your lead on household rules and adapt my communication to your preferred method, whether that is a quick text or a detailed chat at pickup. I am excited to support your family and provide reliable, attentive care for your children. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family's daily life.
