Hi there! My name is Tamar and I'm currently a student at Liberty University for nursing. I have over 7 years of experience and I'm glad to provide references! I have multiple nephews and nieces, several years of babysitting and nannying, teaching experience in my church's children's ministry, and I coordinated a non-profit to increase children's literacy for single moms with young kids. I'm super flexible and I'd love to chat about how I can help you!

Tamar worked with our family for the summer before returning to nursing school. She was such an amazing asset that we want her to work for us next summer. We have four children, four years old and younger, and she was able to manage all of their activities-both educational and fun! She is kind, patient, and creative. She is independent and sets a wonderful routine and schedule that is functional for the family. Her calm demeanor and reliability put my mind at ease knowing that our children were in her care daily. We also used Tamar for date nights and she is so skilled at getting all four children to sleep in a calm way. I highly recommend Tamar for baby sitting or nannying - especially multiple children. She is a rare blessing and we are so lucky to now have her as a part of our family!

Riley G., Child Care in Forest, VA 24551 with 3 years of paid experience

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!

Stephanie C., Child Care in Forest, VA 24551 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

Kiley C., Child Care in Forest, VA 24551 with 3 years of paid experience

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!

Taylor C., Child Care in Forest, VA 24551 with 1 year of paid experience

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

Sarah J., Child Care in Forest, VA 24551 with 0 years of paid experience

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.

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.
