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.

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!

Hiii! I’m Mo! My love for youth development and early childhood development started very young. I raised my 4 younger siblings and, unlike the average preteen, I enjoyed it. I began babysitting in high school and then went on to become a full time nanny while studying for my undergraduate degree. Since, I have successfully worked for a number of families. I am also CPR/AED/First Aid Certified. In my years with youth, I have successfully given a child CPR and saved their life. Outside of the 'super professional' things, I am a wonderful individual to be around. I believe in education based activities, as well as anything that parent is interested in me doing. I pride myself on my art, so crafts will be a huge part of each day and will help shaker children develop coordination and different motor skills. I cook healthy meals and I understand how to run a dishwasher as well as a washing machine haha. I hope that after reading this, you will consider having a chat with me about sitting for you. Much much love! Best, Mo

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.

Mari D.

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!
