Hi there! My name is Lynn Birckhead, and I’d be delighted to help with your childcare needs. I bring a unique blend of professional and personal experience to the table—I’m a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and currently work as a Practice Manager at a busy family medicine office right here in Charlottesville. Before my nursing career, I spent 12 wonderful years as a nanny for two families, caring for their little ones until they grew up and headed off to school. Now, I'm thrilled to share that I'm about to become a grandmother for the very first time in just a couple of months—so caring for children is not just part of my past and present, but my future, too! I truly enjoy spending time with kids—reading stories, playing games, and simply making sure they feel safe, happy, and heard. I'm typically available on weekends and most evenings with a little notice, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. Looking forward to connecting with you! Warmly, Lynn

My first experience in childcare was as camp counselor for kids ages kindergarten through rising 4th grade . I helped make the meals for the campers and I was responsible for leading group meetings and group activities with them including taking them to the pool. I loved being a camp counselor so much I began to babysit for numerous families and I have copies of recommendation letters to give if needed. I began working as a preschool teacher aid in april of 2015 and began as a lead teacher in october of 2015. Since then I have moved on to becoming a private nanny to three amazing children while working part time as a teacher's aide at Old Dominion, I have also become cpr certified and have experience in caring for higher number of children at one time which has equipped me with the ability to think fast on my feet. I love working with children because I am a kid at heart and its fun to see their imaginations at work. Plus my favorite babysitting activities are reading,baking,and cooking.
