Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving Auntie and experienced Nanny. My child care experience ranges from newborns to teens, including children with disabilities, in home and daycare settings for the past ten years. I approach each assignment with curiosity, taking note and asking questions to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I strive to establish trust and routine with the children in my care, by asking them questions, reading books, and leading developmentally appropriate activities and games. More about me: I am First Aid/CPR trained, fluent in American Sign Language, and have a reliable vehicle. I spend my down time hiking, reading, baking, roller skating, and making pottery at a local studio. I work weekday mornings as a lunch lady in a middle school, offering babysitting services every weekend and on weekdays after 1:00 pm. If your family is searching for a friendly & reliable babysitter in the Harrisonburg area, I would love to hear from you! 🌟

Hello, I have been working part-time as a babysitting/nannying for 2 families. Due to my clients' life-changes, I am again available full-time or part-time to support the right family/ies. I have a Bachelor's Degree, CPR, First Aid, and all clearances. I most enjoy taking care of newborns, but find that I enjoy each stage of growth when the bond has grown from infancy. I value learning as a priority, reflected by 13 years of commitment to schooling three of my now adult children. What a blessing. I am proud of them all as two of the three have graduated from college. And the other, along with her husband, has brought my dear grandson into my life. I am a nurturer, who loves to learn new things myself, so it comes naturally to explore the world with those I influence. I enjoy teaching, play the piano, sing, draw, paint, cook, bake, read, knit, and create new, fun experiences. I am willing to give overnight care to newborns to give parents a good night of sleep several times per week if/or as needed. References are available on request. I hope to learn more about your family. Kendra

Good Day! For over twenty years, I have been serving others with a smile, pleasant demeanor and caring heart in a variety of ways. By assisting with making Life simpler, I help families to reach the goals that they have for themselves, their pets and for their homes that meet and exceed expectations. I am college educated and have completed courses and training, with Certificates in the Child Care, Culinary Arts, Nursing and the Medical Care Industries. I have also enjoyed serving others as a Personal Chef and Caterer for over 30 years, as needed. I am Blessed to be a mother of five grown sons and a Memi' of six. When my boys were Toddlers, I operated an In-Home Daycare where I nurtured, loved and cared for children of all ages and abilities of local families. I provided before and after school care which included; nutritious meals, story time, a variety of learning opportunities which included, age appropriate games, arts, crafts, and on occasion, we'd take visits to the park, the playground, or take nature walks during each season of the year where we'd disovered a variety of treasures which included, many colored leaves, acorns, pinecones, worms, caterpillars, insects or other treasures. We would participate in daily outside play, kick ball and other fun adventures, as the weather permitted, which the children liked very much. After my Children started school, I worked, as needed, as a substitute teacher for private or public schools, as well as, I drove a school bus. I have also enjoyed serving as a Sunday School Teacher for Infants through Middle School-Aged Children. I am a non-smoker. I am a healthy, honest, caring, reliable and trustworthy woman who has excellent References and Letters of Recommendation. I am a good licensed driver with a 5+ Driving Score. How May I Serve You and Your Family?
