Hello, my name is Bailey. I’m currently earning my Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Virginia and hold a bachelor’s degree in biology from Virginia Commonwealth University. I’ve completed over 400 hours of clinical training in a variety of settings, including emergency care and pediatrics. I’m CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and pride myself on being dependable and communicative. My experience working with children began at home, helping care for my three younger siblings—including a set of twins—which gave me a strong foundation in patience, multitasking, and creating a safe, supportive environment. In undergrad, I volunteered at the VCU daycare, gaining over 200 hours of hands-on experience with toddlers ages one to three. I assisted with daily routines such as meals, naps, outdoor play, and classroom cleanup. I also spent time volunteering at a pediatric COVID-19 vaccine clinic, where I read to children and monitored them after vaccination. I have a strong interest in pediatric nursing and truly enjoy working with children in both clinical and home settings. Babysitting allows me to combine my healthcare training with my passion for helping kids thrive in safe, engaging environments.

I grew up in Charlottesville and graduated from the local high school in 2022, right before I jumped headfirst into the world of child care as a nanny. That’s where I discovered how much I love working with kids—helping them explore, play, and learn while building strong, trusting relationships. My curiosity quickly grew into a passion for child development, and I started diving into approaches like RIE, which taught me to respect children as capable humans and encourage independence, and Conscious Discipline, which gave me tools to guide kids through big emotions while creating a positive, supportive environment. In 2024, I joined Our Neighborhood Child Development Center and got to experience the Reggio approach—watching firsthand how kids thrive when they lead their own learning through curiosity and creativity. I worked with infants, supporting feeding, napping, and sensory play, and with toddlers and older children, encouraging problem-solving, emotional growth, and confidence through play and guided activities. This hands-on experience not only strengthened my child development skills but also made me a more confident nanny, giving me even more tools to connect with kids individually and create safe, engaging, and fun spaces for them. Outside of work, I love being outdoors—hiking, exploring local parks, or just enjoying nature—and I’m always up for creative projects, games, and activities that keep life fun, both for me and the kids I work with.

I am a former teacher with a Bachelor's Degree in elementary education. I taught school for 13 years. I left public education because I didn't like all of the testing that my county was requiring my first graders to take. I feel that children should learn in an environment that fosters creativity and personal growth. After I quit teaching in public schools, I worked in daycare for 10 years. I left daycare for a few years and tried other work, but I want to return to my first love - working with children. I am excited and eager to care for children of any age as a babysitter or a nanny while making sure they have a great time, are safe, and learn something along the way.

I am a local college student looking for more part time engagements in the coming summer. I have some paid experience with children but mostly mutual interactions with them. I have watched infant-elementary aged children many times. I can do various house chores, take care of pets, multitask, drive, and have great ability to learn anything else instructed. I am also CPR certified and First aid certified through a red cross childcare agency. I always find myself having fun with kids, but also feel that I can provide clear and gentle guidance. Please feel free to message or call for any discussion!

Hello Hiring Family! My name is Karen and I have been working as a nanny for a few years now, prior to that, I was a Nurse Educator. I am looking forward to connecting with an awesome family again, as the wonderful family I had been with has moved out of state. Since working as a nanny, it has been my pleasure to help with the day to day activities of family life, and I appreciate the continuity of care so vital for day to day routines. My quick connection with children helps to form meaningful play interactions so vital for their wellbeing. Plus, I thoroughly enjoy their company! Other experiences I bring include; having homeschooled my children, tapping maple trees for syrup, working our apiary, extracting and bottling honey, making and selling beeswax candles, assisting with construction of a log house, landscaping extensive properties and tending farm animals. I am passionate about caring for children of all ages, and come with CPR and First Aid certification. I hope that you will find my experience and interests intriguing enough to warrant a face-to-face meeting, as I am confident my skills would provide value to you and your family. Thank you for your consideration!
