Find experienced child care providers in Hopewell, VA

Having a degree in early childhood, for the past twenty years, I have watched infants, toddlers, older children and twins. I find it rewarding to be involved in the toddler years with all the major learning and natural curiosity present during that age. In my previous childcare positions, the child and I have enjoyed visits to the library, park, and daily neighborhood walks. Walks always provide fun opportunities for observation of nature, squirrels, flowers, and outside activities. Keeping schedules and familiar routines has been a priority for me in working with young children. I believe it gives them a healthy sense of expectation and promotes security throughout their day. My past experience and knowledge of infants is an asset. I have cared for several children since birth and even have been called a “baby whisperer” due to my ability to identify their unspoken needs. I was also the “lead teacher” in the birth-to-crawlers nursery every Sunday at a church for several years. Infants are like little sponges picking up new surroundings in their world. I have watched several infants as well as being their first official nanny. I enjoy being an "observer" as they experience their first smiles, tastes, steps and new initial skills. I truly enjoy all children and as they grow, they grow on me!

I’ve been caring for kids since I was young, starting as the neighborhood babysitter and growing up as the oldest of three girls. Working with children has always been something I genuinely love! Professionally, I’m a Physician Assistant in Rheumatology. While earning my master’s degree and studying for my board exams, I worked as a babysitter, substitute teacher, tutor, and in both infant and preschool classrooms at a daycare. I love helping kids explore their creativity through crafts, games, and imaginative play. One of my favorite things is watching them discover new interests and share their passions. I’m also very comfortable with pets, I have a dog and three cats of my own! A few fun facts about me: I was a competitive Irish dancer, managed sport club programs during undergrad, love the TV show Survivor, and enjoy strategy board games. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids can have fun, learn, and feel supported. Nights with babysitters were always fun special occasions for me as a child and I hope to create the same lasting memories for your children.

I started babysitting when I was 14. I went to college but never really wanted to "be" anything but a wife and mother. I life guarded for 3 years in college during the summers. I am married and have 3 children. All girls. They are 19, 17, and 11. We are a Christian family. I am free on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays during the day from 8:30 to around 6:00. I babysit a 6 month old little boy and his 2yr. old sister on Thursdays and Fridays. I prefer to babysit at my own home so that I can greet my 11 yr. old when she comes home after school. I can babysit at your home if I am home by 3:15. I have taught Bible school for numerous years. I home schooled my children through 4th grade. I worked at Mother's Day Out at my church in Tennessee for numerous years on Tuesday mornings. Taking care of children is so rewarding to me. I love kids and I always work with the understanding that when I am with these children, my time is for them. The day is all about them. I want to make sure that your children are treated the way I want my children to be taken care of. I have such a heart for children of all ages. I would probably not do well as a teacher in a classroom because I get so broken hearted over some of the things that children have to deal with. I would love to play with, talk with, and nurture your child or children. As a babysitter, I am called to be a blessing to your child, but I have always found that the children are such a blessing to me.
