Alyaa S., Child Care in Ashland, VA 23005 with 9 years of paid experience

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.

Aly is awesome!!! She was very compassionate and kind to my 3 yr old who was very nervous to have a sitter. They had a great time and my husband and I were at ease knowing our daughter was being taken care of. =)

Ashley B., Child Care in Ashland, VA 23005 with 7 years of paid experience

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 !

Ashley is kind and caring and incredibly patient! Our son recently has been struggling with separation and Ashley handled it so well and 7 minutes after we left she texted an update with pictures that all was well and calm. She is punctual, responds timely to requests, and flexible if we end up running later than anticipated. She is a high quality sitter!

I am a seasoned, experienced and reliable mom of 3. Two are thriving young adults & my youngest is a rising 9th grader this year. I have had many sittercity clients for occasional day-to-day needs as well as clients who use me for on-going weekly, reoccurring needs. I have excellent references from sittercity & neighbors in my Hanover community. I recently just ended a 4 yr nanny position with a wonderful family of 2 boys. They are now in kindergarten & preschool. I have a letter of reference from this position to show if requested. I have a clear background check & clear driving record. I have been fully vaccinated for 2025 as well. If you want someone reliable and experienced, please feel free to message me. *pickup/drop off from school *have my own car seats if needed *cook/prepare foods *infant care *homework help *mom’s helper *light housework

Rebecca is fantastic. She instantly bonded with our daughter and went above and beyond to support her speech and physical therapies, got her to eat food she wouldn’t eat for us and even proactively helped keep the house clean. Despite being an experienced mom of three, she never assumed she knew better than us and asked lots of questions to help support and reinforce our parenting methods. If our daughter weren’t starting school full-time, we’d definitely still love to have her around!

I love being a sitter because I am a fun, outgoing, loving and caring individual. Preparing kids in all aspects of life with unbiased support and attention is something I take great pleasure and pride in. I have several years of caregiving for children and elderly, as well as simple and diverse pets. I have some general housekeeping experience and would be open to learning more! I am cpr, first aid, and swim safe certified. I have my CNA and drivers license as well as my own transportation.

Dawn arrived warm, prepared, and genuinely engaged with our whole family from the moment she walked in. Our little one has always been slow to warm up to new people — new faces almost always mean immediate tears. But within minutes of meeting Dawn, our baby was completely calm and already reaching out to her. It was remarkable to witness. Beyond that natural gift with children, Dawn is thoroughly professional. She is punctual, reliable, and communicative, and she stayed consistent with our routines without ever needing a reminder. She treated our child with exceptional care.

Sydney provided temporary nanny help for our 4 month old. She is very experienced, knowledgeable, and always brought very calm energy. Our son was in the middle of an extreme case of reflux, was very fussy and temperamental; Sydney helped us keep him fed and soothed during a very difficult time.

Hello! I was an assistant teacher at a Montessori for about a year, I have nannied and babysat on and off since I was 14 (I’m 26 now). Some activities I enjoy doing with kids include playing outside, arts & crafts, yoga, playing music (I play guitar) and really anything the kids enjoy I’m happy to do with them, as long as it’s safe and parent approved. :) I currently live in VA but am planning moving to the Carlsbad area in September. Looking for a part time or full time nanny position!

Mari D., Child Care in Ashland, VA 23005 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Mari and I have been working with kids for 4 years professionally and 3 years before that. I have been a babysitter, preschool fitness instructor and am currently a dance teacher! Kids are my entire life and the most important thing to me is their safety and emotional well being. I pride myself on working with kids as young as toddlers on expressing their feelings and helping them build confidence and autonomy of their own bodies and minds. I communicate very well with kids and find it of the utmost importance to make sure they feel seen and heard no matter their age. I also love working with kids on the autism spectrum! Lastly kids love me! There’s nothing I love more than having fun with the future of our planet and giving them love and care!
