Leah was amazing! We had her babysit four kids (ages 4 - 7) and she did a great job, taking care of them, playing games, and keeping them safe. Would definitely hire again and thank you Leah!

My name is Junacie, and I am a U.S. Navy veteran originally from Los Angeles, California. After completing my military service, I chose to follow my passion for working with children, and I have now been a dedicated nanny for over six years. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, which allows me to bring both practical experience and strong developmental knowledge into my work with families. I have experience as a ROTA nanny and would love to continue in a similar role, though I am open to full-time or part-time positions with the right family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, including preschool twins, children with special needs, overnight care, and larger groups of children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and can provide my résumé, references, and background check upon request. I would describe myself as responsible, creative, and loving. I am especially passionate about supporting developmental milestones in young children through engaging games and Montessori-inspired activities. With older children, I enjoy planning arts and crafts, park outings, beach days, and other age-appropriate adventures. I also support school-aged children with homework, tutoring, and structured learning activities to help them build confidence and succeed academically. I look forward to finding a wonderful family where I can provide nurturing, dependable care in a ROTA, full-time, or part-time role.

Hello! My name is Yaslin. I am a recent graduate who completed my training as a Physician Assistant and am currently awaiting certification. I’m excited to begin working as a PA soon, and in the meantime, I’m looking to babysit as I truly enjoy working with children. I have several years of experience caring for children in both medical and educational settings. I worked as a Medical Assistant for four consecutive years at two private pediatric practices in New York City, and I have also been a summer camp counselor and a daycare assistant. During my training, I continued volunteering as a daycare assistant, where I helped children with homework, assisted with feeding, and supported their daily routines and care needs. I have experience working with children ranging from six months old to teenagers, and I feel very comfortable adapting to different age groups and needs. I am CPR and AED certified and have also worked in after-school programs with children from kindergarten through 8th grade. In that role, I provided tutoring support, helped children transition between activities, and ensured their safety while offering guidance and structure throughout the day.

Christa did a great job. We needed short term child care on short notice. Christa responded quickly to us, called us, and provided additional details on the weekend before we needed child care. Our child enjoyed her time with Christa and talked non-stop about her time there.

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, helping with school work, taking them to their activities, taking 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!

Meka was great at communicating from the beginning and easy to coordinate with. She was so kind to our baby girl and great at incorporating educational activities. She sent updates and pictures and gave a full report at the end of her visit. Would recommend her to anyone and would love to have her over again!

I have been a licensed childcare provider for 33 years, 15 years in Virginia Beach, licensed in New York for 17 years prior, and currently hold a licensed in Chesapeake. I am a mother of four (34,32,25,23) and a grand to one (4). I homeschooled my two youngest. I am bilingual and can teach Spanish or English. I focus on providing a smooth transition from home to school, believing children should not have to adapt to a school setting too early. I am a huge fan of learning through play.
