Hi my name is Becca. I am a registered nurse specializing in pediatrics and I just relocated to Charlottesville to pursue an outpatient pediatric job through UVA. A little bit more about me: I was the assistant coach for a swim team, where I got the privilege to work with kids ranging in age from 4 to 18 for the past 3 years. I also have taught swim lessons on the side which requires the art of persuasion, creativity, patience, and focus. I have been full time nanny, summer nanny and babysitter to many families with kids aging from 3 months to fifteen years. Through each of them, I have followed routines and cultivated age appropriate fun. I love leaving a report of bottles/meals including time and amount so parents know exactly what they missed. Every family I have worked with has made me felt like a member of the family and I remain close to many even after moving! I also have raised a golden retriever puppy, she is 2 years old so I consider myself to be dog friendly and I would make them feel loved just as much as your kids! If I sound like a good fit, please reach out and I would love to chat and meet your family!

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.

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.
