Find experienced babysitters in Thaxton, VA

Hello! My name is Luanna, I am 26 years old and graduated from VCU with a bachelor's in psychology and criminal justice. Towards the end of my undergraduate studies, I shifted my focus on child development. I am working on my masters degree as well as my teaching license. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am also comfortable with travel and also have a clean driving record and a drivers license. I have a younger brother that I watched growing up and eventually began babysitting around my neighborhood. I was a high school and college athlete, so babysitting allowed me to have a more flexible schedule. I briefly worked at a Montessori preschool as an assistant teacher as well. I have experience in all ages (from 2 months to 17 years old) and training with a wide range of special needs and disabilities. I am bilingual (Portuguese and English). Housework, transportation, and pets are no issue. I’m a believer that my role in the house is to be an extra helper who makes your life easier! I am recently engaged and they will often offer an extra set of hands for me when needed. I hope to bring comfort and more stability into your home and assist your family as much as possible. My hope is to develop a reliable and personal relationship. I encourage physical activity and spending time outdoors as much as possible and to have as much fun as you can whenever you can. I will always try to create a healthy environment with open communication, and learn how to best support your children in whatever their interests may be. My main goal is to be able to assist in your child’s mental and physical development as well as their emotional wellbeing. I practice gentle parenting ideologies and hope to become a safe space for your children. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I appreciate the opportunity and thank you for your time. - Luanna P.

Caring for children has always been my greatest joy. With hands-on experience working in a hospital setting, I bring not only compassion but also responsibility and attentiveness to every family I work with. As a proud parent myself, I understand the patience, creativity, and nurturing care that little ones need to thrive. I love engaging kids in fun, safe activities that help them learn and grow, while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m dedicated to making each moment positive and reassuring. Families can count on me to treat their children with the same love and care I give my own!

Hello! My name is Autumn, and I was born and raised in Botetourt, Virginia. I recently transferred from VCU to continue my nursing degree closer to home and to be near my family. I've always been family and children oriented, which is why I began babysitting at 16. Working with kids has brought me so much joy, and I truly miss it, I'm excited to get back to doing what I love most!

I love working with kids and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe with. I have experience caring for my younger cousins (ages 2 and 4), and I’ve gained a lot of experience keeping little ones entertained, managing routines, and helping with daily tasks. I also help my younger brother with homework, so I’m comfortable supporting schoolwork and learning. I’m a college student, CPR and First Aid certified, and currently a lifeguard so safety and responsibility are always priorities for me. I stay calm under pressure, respond quickly in emergencies, and enjoy helping kids learn and grow. I am also a housekeeper so i'm comfortable cleaning up messes and getting my hands dirty.

I am an experienced early childhood professional with an in-home family day care and about 18 years of experience. I have had an in- home day care in the past, but decided to take a different career path while I was having my own babies (now ages 3 and 8). I have a dedicated daycare space in my home and provide a fun, safe, loving, and educational environment. I will also be available for before and after school care. I am renovating my daycare space and will be opening in the second week of April. Please reach out to schedule a meeting and a tour :)

My name is Laylani, and I love working with children. Growing up, I always took care of my younger sister, bathing her, helping with her homework, and more. I also have experience from helping out at two different daycares—one was home-based and family-owned, and the other was where a family member worked, where I assisted with infants and toddlers aged 2-3 years. I enjoy working with kids because it's incredibly rewarding to see them learn and grow. Their energy and curiosity are infectious, making my job fascinating and exciting. Plus, the joy and laughter children bring can brighten anyone's day. What sets me apart as a babysitter is my reliability, creativity, and genuine love for working with children. Engaging kids in fun and educational activities while ensuring their safety is my top priority. Additionally, I have great communication skills.
