My first experience in childcare was as camp counselor for kids ages kindergarten through rising 4th grade . I helped make the meals for the campers and I was responsible for leading group meetings and group activities with them including taking them to the pool. I loved being a camp counselor so much I began to babysit for numerous families and I have copies of recommendation letters to give if needed. I began working as a preschool teacher aid in april of 2015 and began as a lead teacher in october of 2015. Since then I have moved on to becoming a private nanny to three amazing children while working part time as a teacher's aide at Old Dominion, I have also become cpr certified and have experience in caring for higher number of children at one time which has equipped me with the ability to think fast on my feet. I love working with children because I am a kid at heart and its fun to see their imaginations at work. Plus my favorite babysitting activities are reading,baking,and cooking.

We hired Anna to watch our two children (2 and 5) while we were in town for a wedding. She was wonderful! The kids had a lot of fun and loved spending time with her. We felt like our kids were in great hands and were able to enjoy the wedding festivities.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Elizabeth. By far the best child care provider we’ve ever had. She takes care of our 3 with love, compassion, and patience. Her presence is calming in what sometimes feels like total chaos with little ones! And she talks to my kids each with respect, like little people, not babies. No doubt that you will love her.

Hello! My name is Miranda, and I’m a recent graduate from the University of Virginia with degrees in Psychology and Chemistry, where I focused much of my coursework and research on child development and education. With years of hands-on experience working with kids of all ages (as a dance teacher, camp counselor, tutor, and babysitter), I bring a calm, confident, and caring presence to every family I work with. I'm known for being reliable, communicative, and fully engaged when I'm with your child. Whether it's getting creative with crafts, dancing around the living room, reading stories with funny voices, or helping with homework, I will adapt to meet your child’s unique personality and needs. I love working with younger kiddos (ages 0-5 years old) specifically! I have just renewed my Red Cross Pediatric and Adult CPR and First Aid certifications (June 2025). Your child’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’d love to meet your family and help make your day a little easier!

Miranda was fantastic! She spent the evening with our 8 month old daughter. Bed time was smooth and Miranda sent us updates and pictures across the day which we appreciated. She took notes on our processes and was very caring for our infant. Would 100% recommend Miranda!

Eugenie was warm, and communicated well! She made time to meet us beforehand so we could all feel comfortable. My 4 year old son enjoyed his time with her, and he loved when Eugenie read him books in French!
