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.

I’ve been a Certified Nursing Assistant for almost 6 years, and caregiving has truly become a passion of mine. I love being a caregiver because it allows me to bring comfort, support, and companionship to individuals who need it most. Being able to make someone’s day easier, safer, and more joyful is the part of this work that means the most to me. With 5+ years of hands-on experience, I’ve supported clients with daily living activities, mobility assistance, dementia and memory care, meal prep, feeding, hygiene, housekeeping, and companionship. I’m patient, dependable, and very attentive to each person’s unique needs. Along with my CNA training, I’m skilled in safe transfers, infection control, communication, and providing respectful, person-centered care. My goal is always to give families peace of mind by creating a safe, supportive environment and caring for their loved ones with kindness and professionalism.

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.
