Leah was amazing! We had her babysit four kids (ages 4 - 7) and she did a great job, taking care of them, playing games, and keeping them safe. Would definitely hire again and thank you Leah!

Christa did a great job. We needed short term child care on short notice. Christa responded quickly to us, called us, and provided additional details on the weekend before we needed child care. Our child enjoyed her time with Christa and talked non-stop about her time there.

Jelina was a dream come true. I immediately felt comfortable with her; she is articulate, kind, and has seemingly endless patience with my 10 month old. My daughter LOVED her from day one and Jelina went out of her way to make sure she was alwasy engaged and learning new things as she played. She is also very prompt, communicative, and ensures that we are on the same schedule and that all expectations are clear. I would highly recommend Jelina.

In the past, my mother owned a licensed, at-home daycare, where I helped take care of many different children. It was during this time that I realized that I love teaching toddlers their ABCs and numbers, as well as helping them learn how to read. So, even though I am in college at the moment, I would still like to continue doing my part in providing positive development to younger children. I have experience working with kids who have autism or other special needs—I've mostly worked with children ages 2-4, but have plenty of experience with infants as well. In addition, I can drive!

KIMBERLY P.

Both my baby and I had a fantastic experience with Bonita. She arrived early, which immediately showed her professionalism and reliability. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, friendly, and attentive to my baby. The best part was how quickly my baby took to her. My baby was comfortable, happy, and clearly enjoyed spending time with her, which gave me peace of mind. It's not always easy leaving your child with someone else, but she made the entire experience stress-free. Bonita was caring, responsible, and communicative throughout the visit. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable babysitter, and I look forward to having her watch my baby again.

Meka B., Babysitter in Virginia Beach, VA 23464 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Meka. Your child can call me MS. MEKA. I use to be a full time Child Care Provider years ago, but due to daily pain I could not do it full time anymore. I still love helping parents out in anyway that I can along with teaching & adding structure. I also know it’s hard to find quality care and people you trust and those who will be an advocate for your child.. (children in general). I am a mother of 3... ages 30, 25 & 23. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 3). I was home with them majority of their early childhood & teen years being able to prepare them for school, helping with school work, taking them to their activities, taking them to school, and making sure they completed high school and/ or college...(Honor grad/Cum Laude grad & many meetings/support for my child who has Dyslexia). I do believe “Learning starts at home”. I was a single mom most of that time. There were many times, I had to get 3 kids to 3 different events at the same time, but parents make a way & God will put the right people in your path to help you. Please let me know if I can be any assistance to you or your family. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, I am First Aid/CPR Certified & I have a background check through the state!! Along with completed requirements for Water Safety for Parents & Caregivers. Thank you... have a blessed day!

Ms. Meka is truly exceptional. She is not simply a babysitter. She is a childcare and child-development expert, and she brought a level of care, intention, structure, and expertise into our home that exceeded anything we had experienced before. We had recently moved to Norfolk and needed emergency childcare while we waited for a daycare space to open through the CDC network. We felt nervous about having someone we had never met care for our 15-month-old daughter, but Ms. Meka put those concerns to rest almost immediately. Within just a few days, she brought structure, consistency, and purposeful learning into our home in ways we did not even realize we needed. Most importantly, she showed us how much we had underestimated our daughter’s abilities. Through patience, repetition, clear expectations, and age-appropriate structure, Ms. Meka showed us just how much our daughter could understand, communicate, and accomplish. She also taught us how to reinforce those skills ourselves. Our daughter felt comfortable with her right away. Ms. Meka quickly realized that she had previously learned sign language at daycare and helped her pick it back up after we had struggled to continue using it at home. She also taught the signs to us so we could reinforce them as a family. She showed us simple, age-appropriate ways to communicate boundaries, including how to address behaviors like hitting in language our daughter can understand at this stage of development. Those small changes have already made a difference in how we communicate with her. We are also a dual-language household (English/Spanish), and Ms. Meka embraced that from the start. She looked for ways to support strong communication across both languages and made sure our daughter could continue learning and expressing herself in a way that worked for our family. Every day included reading, music, crafts, outdoor play, learning, and meaningful engagement. At the end of each day, Ms. Meka wrote a detailed report about our daughter’s activities, meals, development, and overall day. That level of communication gave us tremendous peace of mind and set a new standard for what we expect from in-home childcare. What stands out most is that Ms. Meka did more than care for our daughter. She made our family better. She taught us how to better understand and communicate with our child, gave us more confidence as parents, and showed us how capable our daughter truly is. The level of care, dedication, and expertise Ms. Meka provides is extraordinary. We could not recommend her more highly.

Amy G., Babysitter in Virginia Beach, VA 23464 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Amy! I'm very passionate about working with young children (0-5)! I enjoy engaging children in developmentally appropriate activities and taking them outside to play! Arts and crafts and sensory bins are fun to do on rainy days, or not so rainy days too! I really enjoy getting to know each of the children I work with and like to come up with activities to do with them based upon their interests. I have my bachelors degree in child and family development, a graduate level certificate called the EC-SEBRIS (early childhood socio-emotional behavior regulation intervention specialist certificate), as well as my masters in child development all from San Diego State University. I have worked with children of all ages ranging from infants and on up to thirteen year olds (with most of my experience working with infants and toddlers). I have interned in elementary schools, San Diego State University Children's Center, and head start programs before. I taught at a preschool as a toddler teacher for a year and a half. I have nannied and babysat for numerous families over the years including families with twins, multiples, and have done nanny shares before as well. Therefore, I am very comfortable working with multiple young children at a time. I am a Newborn Care Specialist trained through the Newborn Care Training Academy (NCTA) and am also a Postpartum & Infant Care Doula trained through ProDoula. I am also a pre-certified Infant Feeding Specialist (currently working on becoming certified). I do have references available upon request. Let me know if you have any questions about me, as I would love to meet up with your family and see if we are a good match!

Amy is such a caring, compassionate person. She truly believes in child development and in the basics of reading and playing. She took care of our five month old son and he fell in love with her. I would recommend her to all my friends.
