Find local child care providers in Ampthill, VA

Having a degree in early childhood, for the past twenty years, I have watched infants, toddlers, older children and twins. I find it rewarding to be involved in the toddler years with all the major learning and natural curiosity present during that age. In my previous childcare positions, the child and I have enjoyed visits to the library, park, and daily neighborhood walks. Walks always provide fun opportunities for observation of nature, squirrels, flowers, and outside activities. Keeping schedules and familiar routines has been a priority for me in working with young children. I believe it gives them a healthy sense of expectation and promotes security throughout their day. My past experience and knowledge of infants is an asset. I have cared for several children since birth and even have been called a “baby whisperer” due to my ability to identify their unspoken needs. I was also the “lead teacher” in the birth-to-crawlers nursery every Sunday at a church for several years. Infants are like little sponges picking up new surroundings in their world. I have watched several infants as well as being their first official nanny. I enjoy being an "observer" as they experience their first smiles, tastes, steps and new initial skills. I truly enjoy all children and as they grow, they grow on me!

Hi my name is Alyaa! For the past 7 years, I have worked with children in multiple age groups. I started at the age of twelve and assisted a military couple who had a newborn and a two year old. At the age of thirteen and on, I babysat for a variety of families through my church and I became a youth leader for vacation bible school. Also, I babysat for close family and friends for many years as well. I am a very responsible and patient caretaker who will provide a safe and fun environment for your child. I am willing to assist your child with homework, do light housework, transportation from school, prepare dinner, etc. If you are looking for helping hand who genuinely cares about your child’s well-being contact me.

I love spending time with kids and I had great experiences babysitting a lot of kids from different backgrounds and cultures . I’m super active, I like to play games, doing crafts, painting, watch movies with kids along with preparing some snacks. I would never leave from my shift without cleaning any mess that I caused or anything related to baby/ child care. I have 4 years of experience, I feel more comfortable working with ages of 12month and up as I love to be a part of your baby’s development journey. I don’t drink or smoke, unfortunately I can’t provide any rides for outdoor activities unless there’s a car provided for that purpose or compensation for my gas and mileage in case of using my personal vehicle. I will run a background check upon request:) or I can provide a previous copy from a recent one.

Hi! My name is Jayla 🙂 I’m currently attending college in pursuit of a human services degree. I’m the oldest daughter from a very large family, which means I have a ton of experience babysitting siblings and cousins :) I’ve also assisted many families outside my own via sittercity. The kids I’ve worked with ranged from ages 4 months- 15 years old. I’m very excited to help and get to know each family and child I work with! Fun facts about me: I’m a diligent student and can help with homework or tutoring if needed. I love sports, board games, and just having fun! I’m also very responsible and can meal prep, run errands, and be trusted when watching your children. I have a 3 year old Pitbull named Blue, so pets are not a problem!

Hi! My name is Marconi. I’m 27 and very outgoing and I love trying new things. I’m fairly new to Virginia so I’m always exploring the city to learn about my new home and find new things to do. I've been nannying professionally for 6 years but I've been watching my younger siblings since I was 12 years old. I'm always open to learning and trying new things. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified.

I'm Amanda! I'm 22. I’m in school and I work at a daycare. I love kids and I have experience with all ages. I also love pets and can care for fur babies too. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. I'm comfortable taking them on outings, light cooking and housekeeping.

Welcome, my name is Ashley! I currently own and operate a single-employee in-home daycare in Henrico County. I have a very intimate group of little ones ranging from 2-5 years old. In my spare time I also offer evening and weekend childcare to little ones outside of my preschool program as well. I‘m currently Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I would describe myself to be passionate, responsible, and very reliable. I've worked in childcare for over 7 years professionally. Many years ago I started my career as a daycare infant teacher and have advanced to managing and directing a childcare facility. Though I've loved every single position I've held in childcare, nothing has fulfilled me like owning my own safe space to care for my little ones. I would love to assist you with your child care needs and learn more about your beautiful family! Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information. I'm happy to provide multiple references and/or schedule a video interview. I look forward to hearing from you !

I’ve been providing trusted child care since I was 10 years old. I truly adore children and prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they feel heard, supported, and free to learn and grow. I am respectful of parents’ wishes and strive to ensure they feel completely comfortable and confident when leaving their children in my care. Building trust and connection comes naturally to me—I am patient, empathetic, and always attentive to a child’s unique needs. Whether it’s finding creative ways to engage them through activities and crafts, helping with new ways to approach chores, reading stories at bedtime, or diffusing tantrums with care and understanding, I approach every situation with warmth and positivity. Friends, family and those on Sittercity have frequently trusted me with childcare (including watching multiple children at the same time, and/or those with special needs), and I am often praised for my attentiveness and ability to build strong relationships with children. If you’re looking for a caring and reliable sitter who will create a fun and enriching experience for your little ones, I’d love to connect! I have a bachelors degree, and have been in the design industry for over 18 years. When I'm not working you'll find me spending time outdoors, snuggling with my two rescue cats (who are now 11 and 14), visiting family (including my 93-year-old grandmother who is still traveling, hiking and skiing!), exploring Richmond's festivals and restaurants, or working on some craft or home project.
