Hi, my name is Bre! I used to work in a daycare/preschool specializing in ages 6 months-5 years old back in 2021. Since I left, i've been babysitting/nannying at families homes full time since. I have experience with children with autism from ages 3-9, as well as sitting for up to six children at once, and I’m flexible with schedule changes and last minutes! I love kids and even have a little boy of my own now who recently turned 1 year old! I'm currently looking for a part time job with a loving family who is possibly needing childcare in the mornings before 11am or in the evening after 6pm on the weekdays (hours are slightly flexible). I am also usually available all day during the weekend as well. Message me for any other questions and have a wonderful day!!

Hello, my name is Alyesha Elliott. I first got into the childcare business through my mother. She owns her own Learning Center and I was trained to have the ability to provide immaculate care to children. Children are the future of the world, therefore; we should care for them accordingly. I initially worked as a floater which means that I have the ability to work with all ages. Then, I was promoted to a Lead Teacher for the infant and toddler classroom. It doesn’t matter what age your child is I love to encourage a growing mind! I love what I do because of the impact that you can have on a child(ren). You must be aware of all of the child’s personality, needs, likes, dislikes, and much more. Therefore, it is much easier for a child to adapt to me and for me to adapt to a child(ren) because I have been working in this field for 10 years. I love getting to know the child(ren) personally and I look forward to getting to meet you and your child ! Please contact me with any further questions if this applies. Also I am located in Haygood Virginia Beach area and willing to travel, I just can’t change the location in my profile view.

Jelina D.
- 3 years paid experience

Hey families! My name is Jelina. A little bit about me: I have a Bachelor's in Speech-Language Pathology but am pursuing a different path and am currently in school to become a Counselor. I was an Assistant Teacher at The Goddard School for Early Childhood Development wherein I worked with infants all the way up to kids the age of 5. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I have no problem assisting with housework. I enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. If possible, I want to expose children to a wide variety of things such as musical instruments or different hobbies they can acquire to express themselves to aid in their development. I have no problem working with special needs children as my own little brother has autism. I most recently worked as a Registered Behavior Technician in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis but had to leave the field due to the increasing needs of my current Internship to become a Mental Health Counselor. CURRENT AVAILABILITY (as of 5/9/25): Mondays and Tuesdays.

Junacie G.

Hey, my name is Junacie! I am a US Navy Veteran and I am from Los Angeles, CA. After serving the military I decided to pursue my passion in working with children. I have been a nanny for 6 years and have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education. I have experience as a ROTA nanny and would love to continue my search in finding the perfect family to fill that role. Though, I am open to other positions. I’ve cared for all ages ranging from infants to teens. I am also experienced with preschool twins, children with special needs, overnight care, and babysitting large groups of children. I am CPR/First Aid certified and I am bilingual (Spanish). I can provide my resume, reference letters and background check upon request. If I could describe myself in three words they would be responsible, creative and loving. I enjoy seeing younger children reach new development mile stones by introducing fun games and appropriate toys using the Montessori approach. For older children I enjoy arts and crafts, park adventures, beach, and appropriate age activities! Apart from entertainment, I engage school age children in their school work and I can assist with tutoring and structural activities. Hope to find the perfect family to fill either a ROTA position, full time or part time job!

Deborah P.

Hi, my name is Deborah. I am 70 years young and love working with children. For the last three years, I worked for a phenomenal military family. They were reassigned to another state, and moved in June. They graciously posted a letter of reference on this sire. After they left, I accepted a part time position over the summer, and have recently decided to continue working with this family. For personal reasons, I felt the need to work less hours, and be closer to home and family. My availability will now be updated for occasional nights and weekends. I am an experienced childcare provider and have previously worked long term, and short, for a variety of families. I have a fun sense of humor. I am honest, flexible, responsible, and have an excellent work ethic. I seldom, if ever, miss work. I taught school for eighteen years. I have always cared for children/senior citizens nights, weekends, and long term. I have also stayed with children overnight, for their families to go on work trips or a weekend away. I have additional references and letters of referral I will provide at the time of an interview. I do need to update my CPR and First Aid, but have been certified many times over the years. I have also passed many background checks and am willing for families to run another. I so appreciate your interest and look forward to speaking with you... Sincerely, Deborah

Hello, my name is Meka. Your child can call me MS. MEKA. I use to be a full time Child Care Provider years ago, but due to daily pain I could not do it full time anymore. I still love helping parents out in anyway that I can along with teaching & adding structure. I also know it’s hard to find quality care and people you trust and those who will be an advocate for your child.. (children in general). I am a mother of 3... ages 29, 25 & 23. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 3). I was home with them majority of their early childhood & teen years being able to prepare them for school, help with school work, take them to their activities, take them to school, and making sure they completed high school and/ or college...(Honor grad/Cum Laude grad & many meetings/support for my child who has Dyslexia). I do believe “Learning starts at home”. I was a single mom most of that time. There were many times, I had to get 3 kids to 3 different events at the same time, but parents make a way & God will put the right people in your path to help you. Please let me know if I can be any assistance to you or your family. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, I am First Aid/CPR Certified & I have a background check through the state!! Along with completed requirements for Water Safety for Parents & Caregivers. Thank you... have a blessed day!
