I am CPR certified, and have done 45 hours of childcare training. I have my own car that can sit 4 people. Also I am comfortable with animals and would love to dog sit if it’s ever needed!

I love spending time with kids and I had great experiences babysitting a lot of kids from different backgrounds and cultures . I’m super active, I like to play games, doing crafts, painting, watch movies with kids along with preparing some snacks or light meals. I would never leave from my shift without cleaning any mess that I caused or anything related to baby/ child care. I have 7 of years of experience, I feel more comfortable working with ages of 12month and up as I love to be a part of your baby’s development journey. I don’t drink or smoke, I can do outdoor activities and parks if there’s a car provided for that purpose or compensation for my gas and mileage in case of using my personal vehicle. I have references to provide. I will run a background check upon request:) or I can provide a previous copy from a recent one.

Hi I'm Emily Edwards in 18 years old. I just finished my freshman year at Old Dominion University. I love working with children. Last summer I worked at summer camp/ daycare and it was so much fun. Playing with the kids and getting to know them was the best part. Also making sure they were safe and having fun. I also babysit my cousins and other kids in their neighborhood time to time.

Hello! I was an assistant teacher at a Montessori for about a year, I have nannied and babysat on and off since I was 14 (I’m 26 now). Some activities I enjoy doing with kids include playing outside, arts & crafts, yoga, playing music (I play guitar) and really anything the kids enjoy I’m happy to do with them, as long as it’s safe and parent approved. :) I am currently working part time at a restaurant and nannying but am open to occasional babysitting gigs.

I love being a nanny because I genuinely enjoy building trusting relationships with children and supporting their growth every day. I’m patient, energetic, and confident in creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where kids feel heard and cared for. Whether we’re working through big emotions, learning something new, or just being silly, I take pride in being a positive, reliable presence in a child’s life. Helping families feel supported and knowing I make their day a little easier is what keeps me passionate about this work

My name is Madeline Roe, I am 19 years old and very interested in your job posting. I have had lots of experience as a babysitter. I first started babysitting for extended family when I was 12, then eventually babysat for friends of the family and now I babysit and nanny for anyone who needs me. I am currently looking for a part time position while attending school to help with expenses. I absolutely love children. When I first started babysitting I felt like I was doing a hobby and not a job because I enjoyed my job so much. I am very loving, patient and outgoing and love having activities that children will find entertaining. Babysitting is something I love doing because every day is different and new and it’s amazing being part of a child learning and growing as a person. My most recent childcare job was this past summer when I was a summertime nanny for two amazing kids 4 and 9. I was sad to leave such a wonderful family when I had to go to school. But now I look forward to get back into the business and to help another wonderful family out.

Hello! I am a mother of three children, a 24-year-old daughter and twin boys who are 20. My experience includes working with children in many capacities since I was 12 years old. I started out babysitting and have been a lifeguard, swim coach, swim lesson instructor, pre-school teacher, nanny, tutor, and a VA licensed special education teacher. I was a special education teacher in the elementary and high school setting from 2008-2017 in Powhatan County. Since 2020, I have taken care of 3 infants long term until they were placed in daycare at 12 months. I currently take care of a 3-year-old little boy and a 6-year-old girl on Tuesdays/Thursdays. I have been with them since January 2024. On Mondays/Wednesdays, I care for a 9-month-old that I began watching in January. I hope to find a family that needs a reliable, loving, patient, and experienced nanny to join their family. I adore babies and love working with children of all ages and helping them thrive. My current families are transitioning to daycare. On August 18th, I will be available Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays. Come September 1st, I will be available full time. Please reach out if you need care!
