Tailyn S., Child Care in Forest, VA 24551 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi I'm Tailyn! I am a 19-year-old nursing student! I have been working in childcare since I was 12, and started working in a more professional capacity later in high school! I have medical knowledge and experience to help keep your kids safe, which is my top priority! My certifications include: CPR, First aid (for adults and children), as well as BLS, I also have in-hospital experience too! One thing about me is I love having fun with the kids that I nanny. Personally, I don't love just handing kids screens. When I'm watching kids, I always show up prepared with engaging activities to help them grow and learn! In addition to taking care of your kids, I'm always more than willing to help clean up around the house, meal prep, run errands, or help with the kids' homework! Anything I can do to make your lives as parents/caregivers easier!

Larissa P., Child Care in Forest, VA 24551 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Larissa, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient babysitter who truly enjoys supporting families and creating a safe, happy environment for children. I completed a babysitting course through my local hospital at age 12 and have since babysat for five different families on and off over the years. During COVID, I spent nearly every day caring for a family’s two children along with their dog, new puppy, and cat, helping with playtime, routines, and daily care. I still babysit for them occasionally and remain in touch, which means a lot to me. The kids even say I’m their favorite babysitter because I’m fun, kind, and attentive. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, creative games, and helping with homework while keeping screen time balanced. I’m also happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, tidying play areas, laundry, and light household tasks to make your day easier. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and communicate clearly with parents. I’m available for one-time, last-minute, or recurring care, and I would love the opportunity to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your family.

Annemarie C., Child Care in Forest, VA 24551 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Annemarie! I have paid childcare experience as both a nanny and a teacher, and I’ve cared for children from infancy through high school. I’m very comfortable with infant care, routines, and supporting kids at different developmental stages! I’m calm, dependable, and truly love caring for children! Clear communication with parents is really important to me. As a new mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously while keeping things warm, safe, and positive! I’m excited to connect with a family and would love to chat to see if we’re a great fit!
