Hi! My name is Katie, and I have several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I began volunteering in my church nursery and childcare programs at the age of 12, which helped me develop a strong foundation in patience, responsibility, and caring for children in a safe and nurturing environment. As the oldest of four siblings, I also naturally grew into a caregiver role at home, helping with daily routines, schoolwork, and supervision. Professionally, I have worked in both a daycare setting and at a resort where I interacted with families and children regularly. Through these experiences, I have worked with children as young as 4 weeks old up to 14 years old. I am comfortable handling a wide range of needs including bottle feeding, diaper changes, playtime activities, homework help, and maintaining structure and routines. I am known for being dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to children’s needs. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident. I am currently looking for babysitting or nannying opportunities where I can continue doing what I love, caring for children and supporting families.

I also spent two years volunteering in a classroom setting with multiple children, where I developed strong skills in supervision, communication, and creating a fun, positive environment. I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported while giving parents peace of mind. I am CPR and First Aid certified and prioritize safety, patience, and reliability in every family I work with. Whether it's helping with daily routines, engaging in creative activities, or providing attentive care, I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable experience for every child.

Hi! I am a recent college graduate from JMU who is living in Harrisonburg and looking to help out families :) I have provided care for local families and those living closer to an hour away. I like working with kids because I like getting to experience lots of joyful, simplistic interactions and providing teaching moments.

I can allow a parent/caregiver to feel comfortable putting their children in reliable hands while I serve as a role model and engage in activities. I started working with kids my freshman year of high school. I have been working with kids for nine years. I have watched children from 20+ different families from ages 4 mos-11 years across various settings. I have experience watching children at my own home, parent/caregiver's home, church, hotels, and wedding venues. In addition, I've spent time substitute teaching for preschool-middle school classes. I am certified in CPR and first aid. In my spare time, I like to do anything outside such as going on long walks, playing spikeball and pickleball, and going hiking! I also love baking. My skills include patience, communication, and organization.
