Hi! I’m a dependable, loving, and attentive sitter. I have taken care of all ages ranging from infants to preteens.

I’ve been a sitter/nanny for 3 years now but have been taking care of family members for 9 years.I also do house and pet sitting! I pride myself on being reliable and kind. I have an open availability, before school/after school care, weekends/date nights, full time/part time

Hi, I’m a well experienced babysitter of all ages. Taking care of, specifically children and animals is a real passion of mine. I’m up for any activity or any special care need dinner, homework, etc.

 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 am currently a special education instructional assistant that has been a babysitter since 14, I have 11 soon to be 13 nieces and nephews that i’ve been helping with since 11, and have been an assistant teacher in their 3 year old room while I was at JMU. I currently have evening ability during the week and some weekend availability. I love working with the littles and am very hands on. I love giving piggy backs, running around, and doing any activities that make our littles happy. Their smiles keep me going no matter how easy or difficult. Don’t hesitate to reach out if in need of something regular or emergency.

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.

I am a retired Microsoft tech guy who started getting involved in the Autistic community by volunteering for Big Brothers/Big Sisters. I have completed the BCBA (ABA) training and am currently finishing my master's in special education. I am vetted as a care provider for the military through various background checks and investigations that the military requires. I have worked with about ten families over the years and specialize in teaching autistic kids to swim. I also have CPR, First Aid & Trauma for Infants and Children. I routinely care for a 5-year-old and am a good fit for a family looking for occasional care or a weekend break. For several years now, I have cared for 10-year-old and 8-year-old brothers, both on the spectrum, and occasionally take them to the playground or for weekend breaks, swimming, or horseback riding.

Hi, I’m a college student who loves working with kids. I’ve babysat a handful of times but most of my experience with kids comes from the years of swim lessons I’ve taught. The last three summers I’ve taught swim lessons to kids between the ages of 3-12. I would love to help families looking for after school care for school aged children or evening baby sitting. I can help kids out with homework and chores as well as cook meals for the kids or family. I have a reliable car and have had my license for over two years so I can pick kids up from school and drive them to any activities they may have. I do attend classes in the afternoon so I am only able to help with children before and/or after school. I’m also CPR and first aide certified!

Hello! My name is Grace Gowin. I am 27, and currently seeking employment as a part time nanny/babysitter. I graduated from John Tyler Community College in 2017 with a certification in Early Childhood Development and Education. Through the certification, I was trained in different teaching methods, health and safety measures, developmental milestones, constructive, healthy ways to enforce discipline, dietary needs of different age groups, and using play experiences as learning opportunities. I have worked extensively with children of all ages throughout the last several years in numerous work and volunteer positions. These positions included assistant teaching in the toddler room at Mechanicsville Christian Center, serving as a MOPS childcare provider, and working with special needs children in their Sunday school class (also at Mechanicsville Christian Center). I have also been a nanny for almost 9 years now for 11 children across 5 families (ages ranging from a 3 day old newborn to 9 years old). I have loved having the opportunity to become such a big part of the families I’ve worked with, and deeply cherish the relationships I’ve built with their children. Teaching, caring for, and playing with children are the things I enjoy more than anything, and I consider it the greatest thrill and privilege to continue finding employment and enjoyment as a nanny of little ones.
