Find experienced child care providers in Big Island, VA

Hi! My name is Alissa, and I have a true passion for caring for children of all ages. I’ve spent years helping care for younger siblings, family members, and children in my community, and I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, reading stories, helping with homework, or keeping little ones on a routine, I’m happy to adapt to each family’s needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and always prioritize your child’s safety and well-being. I also don’t mind helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, or caring for pets if needed. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure their children are happy, engaged, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family!

As both a mother and former nanny, I understand the trust parents place in those who care for their children. I believe every child is a blessing and deserves patience, kindness, encouragement, and attentive care. Children are a blessing and a gift from God. I would love to be able to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can feel cared for while their parents are away. My prior nanny experience •Cared for two young children, providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment each day. •Planned fun, age-appropriate activities while managing meals, naps, and daily routines. •Assisted with diaper changes, feeding, potty training, and other daily care needs. •Kept play and living areas clean and organized •Maintained open communication with parents about schedules, milestones, and daily experiences. •Used patience, compassion, and good judgment to meet the children's individual needs. •Remained calm and attentive when handling unexpected situations. •Built strong, lasting relationships with the children and their family, creating bonds that continue to be meaningful in my life today. I would love to babysit your kids when needed! I do work at a church nursery on Sundays from 9am-12pm but am free after that. I also would love to help throughout the week. I do have a 2 year old child that I would have to bring with me unless it was after 5:30PM. I can also watch children in my home which is already baby proofed. I would of course let parents come and check everything out beforehand. Thank you!

Hello families! My name is Taylor Chewning and I have been in the childcare field for two years. I am currently majoring in elementary education at Liberty University. I have CPR and First Aid certification for infants, children, and adults. I have a paraprofessional certification as well as training in dyslexia awareness and various Penn State preservice completions for child care staff. My Early Childhood Education classes at my local community college helped me learn how young children are wired and how to interact with them accordingly. I worked in a primary school with ages 4-6 for one year and am currently working at a Montessori school. Right now I interact with and care for children ranging from ages between 6 months and 10 years old. My top priorities in any childcare position are safety, development, and creating a loving atmosphere where kids can be themselves. I am great with homework help and love to teach kids new games, skills, and problem-solving techniques. I was blessed to win first place at the Educators Rising 2025 Conference by creating and delivering a STEM lesson to kindergarten students. My students learned something new that day while also having a memorable lesson that many of them talked about for weeks afterwards. I can change any diaper and am willing to help with potty training as well! I have developed a close relationship with many of my students and care for them all very deeply. When children are under my watch I respect the wishes and routines of parents while also caring for each child as if they were my own. If your family is in need of childcare, I would love to be considered! Please feel free to reach out for references or further information if you so desire. Have a blessed day

I love being a sitter because kids are an ever growing sponge and just love to absorb all the things you can teach them. They will constantly want to play games and spend time with you as you become their favorite person. I have work as a babysitter since I was 13 and a camp counselor since I was 16. I got certified as a babysitter at 13 and have first aid and CPR through Red Cross. I have experience working with children who have special needs. I’m a college student at the University of Lynchburg working to become a forensic nurse. I’m available to work evenings on M/W/F, anytime after 9am on T/Th and weekends. I’m skilled in diaper changing, meal prep, homework help. I have my own car so transportation can be provided if needed. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call.

Im always positive! Love socializing and am a hard worker! I adore kids! I can't wait to have some myself! Ive only worked at daycares! I love interacting with them, making them laugh and smile, teaching them how to say names and recognize animals and what sounds they make, teaching them hoe to take their first steps! Children are the sweetest things, and I have a heart for them all! Children are such blessings and they deserved to be taken care of and showered with everlasting love!

My name is Riley and I’ve been babysitting since I was 9 years old! I am cpr and first-aid certified through OSHA. I’m currently a student at CVCC for general studies, and a server at Texas Roadhouse in Lynchburg. I have experience with all ages and love crafts! Most importantly, I will do things your way! I am a rule follower and I treat everyone with respect regardless of age or status. I have never had to potty train before, but I am more than happy to help with your child’s journey! I am no stranger to carpet cleaning, laundry, or removing stains/ smells. I am a stronger believer of leaving spaces better than how I found them. Please feel free to reach out to me via email or phone call to ask me questions or set up a meeting to make sure I’ll be the best fit for your family!

Hello! I’m a college student looking for a good babysitting job!! I adore children and have been babysitting since I was 12 with church families :) I have a super flexible schedule and am experienced with mostly anything

As a college student, my degree is a Music performing arts, but I also am taking many classes in youth development and ministry. My heart for children has been so strong since I can remember. At the age of 15 I started working in the nursery as well as child care for my church. I was also a youth worship leader, and was able to connect with young children. This past summer, I worked at a camp for three months straight with ages 8-13. It was such a joy being surrounded by young people and how I can help in their journey ! I’m a very bubbly person, and get along with everyone. I’m also very patient and enjoy connect with kids one on one.

From a young age, I have nurtured a deep affection for children. My extensive experience in childcare, spanning from infant to teenage years, has honed my abilities to work effectively with children of diverse ages and developmental stages. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated reliability, dependability, and a positive attitude, qualities that would make me an invaluable asset to any childcare setting. Children are inherently joyful companions, and I find immense pleasure in their infectious laughter and playful antics.

I’m a recent graduate of highschool, and at 18 I’ve already been working with children for 7+ years. I’m the oldest of six kids, and have been around children of all ages my whole life. I started professionally babysitting by 11, and Nannied at 14-16. I love working with and caring for children, I’m hoping to be the right fit for the right family! I’m pet-friendly, can cook, clean, and achieve any task you ask of me. My starting rate is $19-$30 per hour, but it’s negotiable depending on the family. I’m looking for full-time weekdays, and 30-40 hour weeks.
