Find experienced child care providers in Midland, VA

Hi! My name is Abbie C. I’m currently in nursing school locally and just about done with my degree! I have babysit, house/dog sit for about 7 years now so I have plenty of experience. I have a love and passion for children, which is why I hope to work as a pediatric nurse once I'm done with college. If you're in the need for some time to get things done or simply enjoy some time out, I'm happy to help! Just give me a call or shoot me a text and hopefully we can work something out.

 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.

Although I have traded in my professional teaching and nanny career for an office environment several years ago, I worked as a nanny for approx. two years (7 months to 8 years old), opened an in-home daycare (18months-3yrs), and worked in daycare centers and pre-schools for many years after that. I also have been babysitting since I was about 13 years old and have actively served in my church's in the children's ministry and nursery. I currently lead a small team of ladies for nursery at current church. Due to working a full time job, I am currently only available for weeknight/weekend opportunities (date nights, etc).

My name is Reina I am originally from El Salvador, which make me fluent in spanish. I love being outdoors, reading and learn new things all the time. Reason why I do babysitting as a side part time job is because I love kids and enjoy engaging and learning new things with them. I have many years of experience babysitting and as a mom of two kids 8 and 10 years old. I am very responsable, reliable, truthworthy and follow all instructions on how parents want me to care for their loved ones.

I am a recent high school graduate who hopes to one day become a teacher. I have experience an extensive theater background and love to use my love of theater to entertain kids in my care. I have experience working with pets, including large dogs, and love working with animals just as much as I love taking care of children. I have a firm belief that everyone deserves love and kindness and I will tend to treat the children I am watching as if they are a part of my family. When I am not babysitting, I enjoy cooking, reading, going for walks, and learning fun facts!

I have always enjoyed working with children. I started babysitting in junior high and by the time I was in high school I had an afternoon job at a local day care center. I went on to get my teaching degree in Elementary Education and taught five years of third grade and a year of kindergarten. After having three children of my own and taking some time off I went back to teaching but decided to try preschool instead and ended up teaching 8 years of it. After teaching elementary I was surprised at how much I loved working with the little ones. I was the lead teacher for a 3 and 4 year old class for 5 years and my last three years I taught a 5 day a week k-4 position. Over the last 10 years I’ve been doing part-time /full time Nanny jobs. I have worked for over 18 families and have taken care of over 41 children ranging from newborn to 12 years olds. I have enjoyed using my teaching skills and early childhood training to create a loving , nurturing, fun and safe environment for each child I take care of. I appreciate all the opportunities I have had to work with such wonderful parents and their amazing children.

I have experience due to my younger siblings. I always helped my parents with them. I was given kids at my church because I could always get them quiet and put them asleep. I am cpr and first aid certified. I also babysat my entire high school career.

My love for children began when I was a teenager, when I started babysitting.

My years as a teacher have taught me how to understand and connect with children of different ages, personalities, and needs.
