Hiiii ! I’m excited to offer dependable and caring babysitting services for your family. With over 15 years of experience working with children, including 8 years as a middle school math teacher, I’ve developed a deep love for supporting kids as they learn, grow, and express themselves. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and engaging. I love creating fun learning moments through games, crafts, and curiosity-driven activities, and I’m always happy to help with homework or routines that make evenings smoother. Your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and bring both classroom management experience and a calm, nurturing energy into every setting. I’m available on weekdays starting at 4:30 PM and would love the opportunity to become a trusted, consistent part of your family’s support system.

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!!

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!

Hello! I have about 5 years experience working with children. I started working with kiddos when I was about 14 years old. I started with watching my younger cousins and helped in my local church. In high school I was in an early childhood education class for three years. Two of the years I was a TA. In this class we had a running preschool. I helped all the students come up with lesson plans to teach the children. I also helped my teacher with other duties. My senior year I got a job as a preschool teacher and worked part time after I got out of school. I was a preschool teacher for about two years, and for about six months I worked as a resource teacher. I also babysat on weekends and other instances for a few families I knew. I have experience with ages 0-12 years. I absolutely LOVE working with children and their families as well. I believe having a relationship with not only the child/children I may be working with, but also the parents/ guardians is very important. I hope that you'll consider me to be a part of your family!!

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.
