Find experienced child care providers in Lignum, VA

 I have been working with infants and children for the last 10 years and I also have three children of my own. I have my Associate's degree in Psychology and I am continuing my education in hopes to become an Adolescent Clinical Therapist. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I love working with kids on a personal level by learning their personality. I use a hands-on approach to gain the trust of both parent and child. Providing childcare isn't just a job, it's accepting to play a large role in a child's life and help guide them as they grow and develop. I love fun and smiles but I also like to promote educational activities appropriate to the child's age (for example going over the alphabet or doing puzzles with a toddler, or practicing tummy time with an infant!) I strive to become not only their babysitter, but one of their best friends. I have a genuine love and passion for kids and I have realized this is my life's calling. I think that providing childcare would be the best job for me while I am continuing my education because it's doing what I love, working in the direction I plan to go with my career and also allows me to keep my son with me while I work, which gives him the opportunity to interact with other children. I have excellent writing and verbal skills, my specialty is drawing and arts & crafts, skilled hider, below average seeker, animal lover, excellent board game player, excellent story time reader and swing pusher, great at cuddling and I know the tickle monster very well, excellent boo-boo kisser, and I may not be the best singer or dancer but that doesn't stop me from putting on a show. I don't mind embarrassing myself for a laugh (well for the kids at least)! It's so easy to make them smile and I absolutely love doing it.

I’m a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with a strong passion for working with infants. I focus on creating a safe, comforting environment where babies can grow, develop, and feel secure. Certified in First Aid and CPR, I prioritize their safety at all times. I also build strong relationships with both the infants and their families, offering individualized care that meets each child’s needs. My goal is to provide a calm and loving atmosphere where they feel supported and cherished. As my native language is Spanish, I can introduce babies to the language early on, which is a wonderful added benefit for families interested in bilingual exposure.

Hello Kristin: My name is Le Anna Ewell and I know I am a good fit for your family. I am currently a healthcare aide for a young man with cerebral palsy and a multi-classroom teacher at a childcare center. I have been in childcare for over 10 years, more if we consider childhood babysitting. I have an associates in Teacher Specialization, a certificate in CPR/First Aide, certifications in Medication Administration, and several hours of development training for each age group. I started to get into childcare simply because I found it came easy for me at a young age. Once I got older and started my education I realized that my techniques and nurturing characteristics were part of the growth and education process for children's development. I've been hooked since my first early childhood development course!

Hello! I have seven years of experience. I’ve been a nursery/elementary Sunday school teacher for five years. I took on the youth leader position and dealt with children of all ages.

Hi! My name is Kiersten, and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently in my first semester of a Sonography program. I’ve always loved working with kids — I grew up helping care for my three younger sisters, and by the time I was 14, I was watching my youngest sister full-time when she was just a year old. I’m CPR and BLS certified, and I’m happy to help with homework, light meals, and keeping kids engaged with fun activities. I especially love arts and crafts and finding creative ways to keep little ones entertained and learning. I also have my own reliable car, so I’m able to help with school pick-ups, drop-offs, or take kids out for fun activities like park trips or ice cream outings. I’m also a huge animal lover! Whether your family has cats, dogs, or other pets, I’ll be more than comfortable including them in the fun. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy being part of a child’s day — helping them feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

I love working with kids! I have heard of experience and references. I have an associates degree in elementary education. Currently I am an online student at Old Dominion University.

I love babysitting because I use to take early education classes. I continued to want to understand more about child development and it was pretty handy coming from a big family. Im the eldest child so often everyone felt comfortable asking me to babysit, and I eventually welcomed my own child. I then decided I wanted to advance my skills and became a behavior technician for 1 year.
