Find experienced child care providers in Dayton, VA

Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving Auntie and experienced Nanny. My child care experience ranges from newborns to teens, including children with disabilities, in home and daycare settings for the past ten years. I approach each assignment with curiosity, taking note and asking questions to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I strive to establish trust and routine with the children in my care, by asking them questions, reading books, and leading developmentally appropriate activities and games. More about me: I am First Aid/CPR trained, fluent in American Sign Language, and have a reliable vehicle. I spend my down time hiking, reading, baking, roller skating, and making pottery at a local studio. I work weekday mornings as a lunch lady in a middle school, offering babysitting services every weekend and on weekdays after 1:00 pm. If your family is searching for a friendly & reliable babysitter in the Harrisonburg area, I would love to hear from you! 🌟

Hello, I have been working part-time as a babysitting/nannying for 2 families. Due to my clients' life-changes, I am again available full-time or part-time to support the right family/ies. I have a Bachelor's Degree, CPR, First Aid, and all clearances. I most enjoy taking care of newborns, but find that I enjoy each stage of growth when the bond has grown from infancy. I value learning as a priority, reflected by 13 years of commitment to schooling three of my now adult children. What a blessing. I am proud of them all as two of the three have graduated from college. And the other, along with her husband, has brought my dear grandson into my life. I am a nurturer, who loves to learn new things myself, so it comes naturally to explore the world with those I influence. I enjoy teaching, play the piano, sing, draw, paint, cook, bake, read, knit, and create new, fun experiences. I am willing to give overnight care to newborns to give parents a good night of sleep several times per week if/or as needed. References are available on request. I hope to learn more about your family. Kendra

Hi, Im Maia! I am a very energetic, outgoing person who has been babysitting for over 7 years. I am a recent graduate of James Madison University with a Bachelors of Science in Biology. I am staying in Harrisonburg throughout the summer and in the foreseeable future! I have taken care kids of all ages, taken care of children with special needs before, and have some experience with children with medical needs. I also have a history as a pet sitter, and have taken care of many dogs and cats. I own a cat currently and grew up with two dogs. I have access to my own car and a drivers license, so I am able to run errands and pick up as well. I have been CPR certified and have taken child care courses in the past.

Hi! I am a recent college graduate from JMU who is living in Harrisonburg and looking to help out families :) I have provided care for local families and those living closer to an hour away. I like working with kids because I like getting to experience lots of joyful, simplistic interactions and providing teaching moments. I love how working with kids is rewarding for everyone all around. I can allow a parent/caregiver to feel comfortable putting their children in reliable hands while I serve as a role model and engage in activities. I started working with kids my freshman year of high school. I have been working with kids for nine years. I have watched children from 20+ different families from ages 4 mos-11 years across various settings. I have experience watching children at my own home, parent/caregiver's home, church, hotels, and wedding venues. In addition, I've spent time substitute teaching for preschool-middle school classes. I am certified in CPR and first aid. In my spare time, I like to do anything outside such as going on long walks, playing spikeball and pickleball, and going hiking! I also love baking. My skills include patience, communication, and organization.

I'm a rising college senior with 6 years of experience babysitting, coaching swim (ages 6-18) and Girls on The Run, and teaching individual swim lessons (ages 4-12). I believe in creating fun, supportive environments where kids can feel safe to explore, express themselves, and grow. My goal is to be a mentor who uplifts, listens, and empowers young people through connection and play! I'm CPR & First Aid certified, and my years of child supervision in a pool setting have made me a safety conscious sitter! I have a car and can provide transportation for myself and children, and I am comfortable with meal prep and light housework. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and kind. I always show up with a smile ready to make the day meaningful!

I love being a sitter because caring for kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I have 3–4 years of experience working with children ages 1 to 14 (I have mainly worked with toddlers, and elementary aged children) so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m a patient and reliable caregiver who always prioritizes safety and fun. I’m also a great cook and can prepare meals or snacks that kids enjoy. Along with keeping things tidy, I make sure to leave the home just as clean (or cleaner!) than when I arrived.

I am a pre-med college student with a passion for pediatric care. I have done various forms of childcare for four years now, and I love bringing my positive attitude and joy to families.

I’m Tess! I am a mother of 2 girls! We also have 4 small dogs, 2 kitties and 1 hedgehog! We love the fur babies. I enjoy reading, dancing and makeup in my spare time. My family and I love being outdoors in the summer. We hope that your little will enjoy these activities with us! You can find us at a river or at the park across the street. We’re not a huge fan of winter and the cold so much, we like to hibernate. My girls and I enjoy movies and board games for family nights. We also enjoy art and creating things, a good movie night and spending time with family. We have a learn through play motto with minimal “structured” learning until we hit the age of 4 to 5 where we begin to understand and develop the ability to sit and focus more on colors, numbers, etc. We enjoy making crafts for family members and friends as well. I am CPR/First Aide certified, in the summer my 14 year old and 8 year old are very hands on with activities that we do. I do have references (for privacy reasons I didn’t post my families information) please contact me and I’d be happy to get you in touch
