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!

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.

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!

Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves working with kids and having fun with them! I’ve been babysitting for about 7 years and have cared for up to four kids at a time. I’ve done everything from date nights to full days with kids, including making meals, helping with homework, playing games, getting ready for bed, and reading bedtime stories. I’m also a swim instructor and lifeguard, which is something I absolutely love because I get to teach kids, watch them learn new things, and build their confidence. I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and I’m currently getting my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with a big interest in working with kids. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m comfortable around pets too! I’m energetic, responsible, and love finding ways to make everyday activities fun. I’d love to get to know your family and be someone your kids are excited to see!

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.

I am completing my clinical rotations in pediatrics and will be graduating in May 2027 to begin my career as a pediatric physical therapist. I absolutely love working with kids of all ages!

I love being active, playing games, getting creative, and finding fun ways to keep kids entertained and engaged! In addition to childcare, I am more than happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, homework, and keeping things organized around the house. I am responsible, patient, dependable, and always strive to create a fun, safe, and positive environment for children. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and help make your days a little easier!

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.

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
