Eman E.
- 2 years paid experience
- 8 miles

My name is Eman. I am an 20-year-old college student at Virginia Tech. I am a cheerful, positive, and respectful person. I enjoy working with children of all ages and have experience caring for children with special needs. I have 3 years of paid babysitting experience during which I was an after-school sitter for 2 different families for children from 3 years old to twelve years old. I also previously worked at a math summer camp so I am a great tutor and would love to offer my help. Babysitting is something I love doing because every day is something new and it's amazing being part of a child learning and growing as a person.

I'm a sophomore at Virginia Tech, majoring in psychology! I have been babysitting and nannying for various families in my hometown for 5 years now, and I love being around kids and caring for children of all ages. Most of my jobs have been for families in my neighborhood and community. Although I have not worked professionally for a babysitting agency in the past, I am well-qualified and experienced to care for children. I am Red Cross certified and have completed CPR training, so you can be confident knowing your child will be safe under my care. This past summer, I spent time nannying for two separate families, one with a 10-year-old and one with a 10-month-old, so I have a wide range of skills when it comes to all ages. I also have experience tutoring children and can offer my skills to help with homework or projects. When I am babysitting, I love going outside and enjoying nature with the kids, allowing them to explore and grow their creativity and adventurous sides.

Hi! My name is Molly, and I’m a sophomore at Virginia Tech studying Mechanical Engineering. I’ve been providing long term child care since I was 16 and have experience caring for children of all ages—from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I have cared for twin babies along with a toddler at the same time, so I’m comfortable balancing multiple needs with patience and care. My responsibilities have included driving children to and from school, preparing meals, planning fun activities, and supporting daily routines like naps, homework, and playtime. I truly enjoy creating a safe and positive environment for kids while giving parents peace of mind. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. Families can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and caring. I am looking for a babysitting job that can fit comfortably with my school schedule. Thanks!

I am from the NoVa area and attending college at Virginia Tech as a freshman in engineering. I love children and am looking for a way to get involved here as I did at home. I started out volunteering at a church nursery when I was 8 years old and babysitting with my older sister when I was 11 years old. More recently (since about age 14- when I was Red Cross certified), I have been babysitting for a few families with children ages 0 months- 13 years on a semi-regular basis.

Hi! My name is Zubin, in a college student and live in the Blacksburg area. I enjoy working with kids and helping them grow in a safe, supportive environment.

In this practice I had hands on experience with adults (young and old), children, and Infants. I have two nieces whom I have sat for since they were infants and I have also sat for friends who have children whose ages have ranged from newborn-5 years old.
