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! 🌟

I am currently working in the mental health field, as a Resident in Counseling. I previously worked as a school counselor and will heading back to the schools this fall.

I love working with children, this has been a huge part of my life since high school. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old.

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 there! My name is Natalie Fowler and I am a sophomore at JMU. I have been working with children for over 7 years—starting as a babysitter and moving into a nanny role for the last 3 years. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep passion for creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments for children of all ages. I’m a firm believer in the importance of building trust with both kids and parents. Whether I’m helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or managing bedtime routines, I’m always attentive to each child’s unique needs. I aim to not only ensure they are safe but also to provide enriching experiences that help them grow and learn. I pride myself on being patient, creative, and highly adaptable. I’m experienced with everything from toddler tantrums to helping with school projects, and I enjoy finding new ways to engage kids and make our time together meaningful. I am free Mondays and Fridays all day, as well as most weekends. Don't hesitate to reach out! I can not wait to start working with yall!

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 became the babysitter of a few kids in my neighborhood my senior year of high school and have experience as a volunteer camp counselor with kids ages 6 to 14. I have some experience as a tutor and overall love working with kids. I received babysitter training when I was about 16 and have renewed it since then in which I received CPR and first aid training.

I have worked with a wide range of children gaining experience from working in a daycare, working in my practicum and learning from my nieces and nephews. I love to babysit as children learn and grow every day so getting to watch them as they do so is greatly rewarding!
