Hiiii ! I’m excited to offer dependable and caring babysitting services for your family. With over 15 years of experience working with children, including 8 years as a middle school math teacher, I’ve developed a deep love for supporting kids as they learn, grow, and express themselves. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and engaging. I love creating fun learning moments through games, crafts, and curiosity-driven activities, and I’m always happy to help with homework or routines that make evenings smoother. Your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and bring both classroom management experience and a calm, nurturing energy into every setting. I’m available on weekdays starting at 4:30 PM and would love the opportunity to become a trusted, consistent part of your family’s support system.

My name is Junacie, and I am a U.S. Navy veteran originally from Los Angeles, California. After completing my military service, I chose to follow my passion for working with children, and I have now been a dedicated nanny for over six years. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, which allows me to bring both practical experience and strong developmental knowledge into my work with families. I have experience as a ROTA nanny and would love to continue in a similar role, though I am open to full-time or part-time positions with the right family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, including preschool twins, children with special needs, overnight care, and larger groups of children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and can provide my résumé, references, and background check upon request. I would describe myself as responsible, creative, and loving. I am especially passionate about supporting developmental milestones in young children through engaging games and Montessori-inspired activities. With older children, I enjoy planning arts and crafts, park outings, beach days, and other age-appropriate adventures. I also support school-aged children with homework, tutoring, and structured learning activities to help them build confidence and succeed academically. I look forward to finding a wonderful family where I can provide nurturing, dependable care in a ROTA, full-time, or part-time role.

Hi, my name is Bre! I used to work in a daycare/preschool specializing in ages 6 months-5 years old back in 2021. Since I left, i've been babysitting/nannying at families homes full time since. I have experience with children with autism from ages 3-9, as well as sitting for up to six children at once, and I’m flexible with schedule changes and last minutes! I love kids and even have a little boy of my own now who recently turned 1 year old! I'm currently looking for a part time job with a loving family who is possibly needing childcare in the mornings before 11am or in the evening after 6pm on the weekdays (hours are slightly flexible). I am also usually available all day during the weekend as well. Message me for any other questions and have a wonderful day!!

Hi there! I am a mom of 2 grown kiddos, 25 and 21. I have lived in Virginia Beach for most of my life. I have over 35 years of childcare experience including 6 full time summers, 4 years of teaching at a local day care, and years of working in my church nursery. In college, I majored in Psychology and Early Childhood Education. I have been trained in CPR for over 30 years and I was a certified CPR & 1st Aid Instructor for over 6 years. I have worked with multiples in the past as well as children with ADD/ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome. Also, my son has had asthma, allergies, mild ADD, and Tourette's Syndrome and has had respiratory problems since he was 6 weeks old so I am well versed in dealing with a variety of issues.

Hello! I have about 5 years experience working with children. I started working with kiddos when I was about 14 years old. I started with watching my younger cousins and helped in my local church. In high school I was in an early childhood education class for three years. Two of the years I was a TA. In this class we had a running preschool. I helped all the students come up with lesson plans to teach the children. I also helped my teacher with other duties. My senior year I got a job as a preschool teacher and worked part time after I got out of school. I was a preschool teacher for about two years, and for about six months I worked as a resource teacher. I also babysat on weekends and other instances for a few families I knew. I have experience with ages 0-12 years. I absolutely LOVE working with children and their families as well. I believe having a relationship with not only the child/children I may be working with, but also the parents/ guardians is very important. I hope that you'll consider me to be a part of your family!!

Hello, my name is Alyesha Elliott. I first got into the childcare business through my mother. She owns her own Learning Center and I was trained to have the ability to provide immaculate care to children. Children are the future of the world, therefore; we should care for them accordingly. I initially worked as a floater which means that I have the ability to work with all ages. Then, I was promoted to a Lead Teacher for the infant and toddler classroom. It doesn’t matter what age your child is I love to encourage a growing mind! I love what I do because of the impact that you can have on a child(ren). You must be aware of all of the child’s personality, needs, likes, dislikes, and much more. Therefore, it is much easier for a child to adapt to me and for me to adapt to a child(ren) because I have been working in this field for 10 years. I love getting to know the child(ren) personally and I look forward to getting to meet you and your child ! Please contact me with any further questions if this applies. Also I am located in Haygood Virginia Beach area and willing to travel, I just can’t change the location in my profile view.
