Jeannie is an absolutely amazing sitter! We couldn't recommend her enough and it's too bad we can only give 5 stars (we'd give 10 if we could). We have a 5 year old and 1 year old and they both love her!

Hi! My name is Marconi. I’m 27 and very outgoing and I love trying new things. I’m fairly new to Virginia so I’m always exploring the city to learn about my new home and find new things to do. I've been nannying professionally for 6 years but I've been watching my younger siblings since I was 12 years old. I'm always open to learning and trying new things. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified.

Marconi has worked this past semester with our church in babysitting for our weekly community groups and larger church gatherings. Her communication with me in scheduling and providing feedback after groups has been great, and her willingness and excitement in fulfilling roles has been much appreciated! I have only heard positive feedback from our groups who she has babysat for and we look forward to using her in the future!

Welcome, my name is Ashley! I currently own and operate a single-employee in-home daycare in Henrico County. I have a very intimate group of little ones ranging from 2-5 years old. In my spare time I also offer evening and weekend childcare to little ones outside of my preschool program as well. I‘m currently Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I would describe myself to be passionate, responsible, and very reliable. I've worked in childcare for over 7 years professionally. Many years ago I started my career as a daycare infant teacher and have advanced to managing and directing a childcare facility. Though I've loved every single position I've held in childcare, nothing has fulfilled me like owning my own safe space to care for my little ones. I would love to assist you with your child care needs and learn more about your beautiful family! Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information. I'm happy to provide multiple references and/or schedule a video interview. I look forward to hearing from you !

Ashley is kind and caring and incredibly patient! Our son recently has been struggling with separation and Ashley handled it so well and 7 minutes after we left she texted an update with pictures that all was well and calm. She is punctual, responds timely to requests, and flexible if we end up running later than anticipated. She is a high quality sitter!

I can't emphasize enough how amazing Kennedy is! It's so hard to find someone you can trust to take care of the people you care about the most (your little ones) and we were SO lucky to find Kennedy. She is incredibly responsible, super easy to work with, she's a calming presence, very comfortable around kids, and she makes it look easy! She is always calm, cool, and collected. Our little one loves her so much that he cries every night when she goes home! When I contacted her references ahead of employment, they were absolutely glowing reviews, which have all proven to be consistent with our experience as well! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Kennedy!

Hi. I have many years of unpaid childcare experience…helping out friends and family. But I also had an in-home childcare for 12 years. The only reason I stopped doing this was because we moved into an apartment and no longer had the space to accommodate this. Most of the children started with me at about three months old, and stayed with me until they entered kindergarten. I have many references and I am infant through adult CPR and first aid certified. During those 12 years I kept the number of children at five, for more individual attention. I always had five, and they were full-time. We danced to silly songs, did crafts, baked, loved being outside, and just enjoy being kids. I am a loving, creative, and trustworthy person. I have always had a big heart for children, and all people really. I would love to meet you and see if you feel like I am a great fit for you and your family. 😊

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our childcare experience. From the very beginning, it was clear that our daughter was loved, cared for, and treated like family! Kris is reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, giving us complete peace of mind while we were at work. More importantly, she genuinely cared for the children in her care and created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they could thrive. Our daughter adored “Ms. Krissy” and looked forward to every day she spent there. As a parent, there is peace of mind knowing your child feels happy, secure, and loved when you are away. If you are looking for someone who is kind, patient, dependable, and truly gifted with children, we would wholeheartedly recommend Kris! We will always be grateful for the love and care she showed our family during such an important season of our daughter's life. My daughter’s review was: 1,000/10! ⭐️ ?

I love being a sitter because I am a fun, outgoing, loving and caring individual. Preparing kids in all aspects of life with unbiased support and attention is something I take great pleasure and pride in. I have several years of caregiving for children and elderly, as well as simple and diverse pets. I have some general housekeeping experience and would be open to learning more! I am cpr, first aid, and swim safe certified. I have my CNA and drivers license as well as my own transportation.

Dawn arrived warm, prepared, and genuinely engaged with our whole family from the moment she walked in. Our little one has always been slow to warm up to new people — new faces almost always mean immediate tears. But within minutes of meeting Dawn, our baby was completely calm and already reaching out to her. It was remarkable to witness. Beyond that natural gift with children, Dawn is thoroughly professional. She is punctual, reliable, and communicative, and she stayed consistent with our routines without ever needing a reminder. She treated our child with exceptional care.

Having a degree in early childhood, for the past twenty years, I have watched infants, toddlers, older children and twins. I find it rewarding to be involved in the toddler years with all the major learning and natural curiosity present during that age. In my previous childcare positions, the child and I have enjoyed visits to the library, park, and daily neighborhood walks. Walks always provide fun opportunities for observation of nature, squirrels, flowers, and outside activities. Keeping schedules and familiar routines has been a priority for me in working with young children. I believe it gives them a healthy sense of expectation and promotes security throughout their day. My past experience and knowledge of infants is an asset. I have cared for several children since birth and even have been called a “baby whisperer” due to my ability to identify their unspoken needs. I was also the “lead teacher” in the birth-to-crawlers nursery every Sunday at a church for several years. Infants are like little sponges picking up new surroundings in their world. I have watched several infants as well as being their first official nanny. I enjoy being an "observer" as they experience their first smiles, tastes, steps and new initial skills. I truly enjoy all children and as they grow, they grow on me!

I am so happy to recommend Linda (aka. Mrs. G). She has been a wonderful nanny for our 4 yr old daughter for the last year. She is absolutely reliable. I never had to worry about her being on time to pick up my daughter. She showed lots of creativity, fun and energy, playing games, doing crafts projects, working on puzzles, among lots of others. She went on walks, outings to the pool or to Lewis Ginter Garden. Our daughter had fun and was happy and looked after when I got home. One of the best things about working with Mrs. G is that she is just a great person. She is thoughtful and kind. She focuses on doing good deeds and is a wonderful role model. The only reason we are making a change at this point (because Mrs. G has been wonderful and I am sad to make a change) is that my mother and mother-in-law are taking over the responsibility of watching Isabella. Really, I cannot speak highly enough about Mrs. G. She is great! Please feel free to contact me if needed.

Hi, my name is Ms. T, and I’m interested in this position. I’m a laid-back, no-nonsense mother of two who believes in being genuine. I prefer to show people who I am rather than give a rehearsed introduction. What I can promise is that your children will be safe, respected, and cared for as if they were my own.
