Find experienced child care providers in Portsmouth, VA

I have experience with children through working at a day care, camps, babysitting, a residential treatment center, and working as a teachers assistant in a program called secep who works with children with mental disabilities and behavior problems. I was a certified EMT prior to leaving my job to being put on bed rest due to my pregnancy, and becoming a stay at home mom. I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys... one is 2, and the other is 7. Would love some other littles for my youngens to play with. Pricing varies depending on need. I have 2 recent (within the last year) references upon request.

Hello parents! 😁 I’m a proud mother of five children, three ladies and two fellas, ages 20 to 27. In 2022, I became a Grammy to each a girl and a boy and another grandson came along in 2024. Twelve years ago, I earned a Master’s degree in Education and have over seven years of teaching experience in public education at both the high school and middle school levels. In my early years of motherhood, I operated in-home daycares for infants to pre-school aged children. I have taught and assisted many times in church Sunday School classes (nursery to high school) and have led and assisted with Vacation Bible School (nursery to high school). I have also led and assisted with youth groups and activities to include attending week-long summer camps and weekend retreats. I’m a divorcee of a retired serviceman. For those military families reviewing my profile, I’m very familiar with life in the military and the challenges that are presented along the journey. Thank you for your dedication and service! Needless to say, I have a genuine love for children of all ages and enjoy teaching and nurturing them; helping each one grow and learn to be the unique person they are created to be. Activities I take pleasure in are walking, reading, crafting, healthy eating, spending time in the kitchen and listening to music (dancing to the music, as well, even if someone is watching!). These are also some of the things I like to do with children, and of course, encouraging them to find and pursue their own interests and participating along with them. Life is certainly meant to be enjoyed, but there are times the fun might need to wait. You can be assured that your children will be accountable for their personal responsibilities (when applicable) like chores and homework (which I’m more than willing to assist), but who says these things can’t be fun? It’s all about perspective and that’s what I hope to instill in your children should you give me the opportunity. I appreciate the time you have taken to review my profile!

Hello, my name is Meka. Your child can call me MS. MEKA. I use to be a full time Child Care Provider years ago, but due to daily pain I could not do it full time anymore. I still love helping parents out in anyway that I can along with teaching & adding structure. I also know it’s hard to find quality care and people you trust and those who will be an advocate for your child.. (children in general). I am a mother of 3... ages 29, 25 & 23. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 3). I was home with them majority of their early childhood & teen years being able to prepare them for school, help with school work, take them to their activities, take them to school, and making sure they completed high school and/ or college...(Honor grad/Cum Laude grad & many meetings/support for my child who has Dyslexia). I do believe “Learning starts at home”. I was a single mom most of that time. There were many times, I had to get 3 kids to 3 different events at the same time, but parents make a way & God will put the right people in your path to help you. Please let me know if I can be any assistance to you or your family. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, I am First Aid/CPR Certified & I have a background check through the state!! Along with completed requirements for Water Safety for Parents & Caregivers. Thank you... have a blessed day!

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.

Hey, my name is Junacie! I am a US Navy Veteran and I am from Los Angeles, CA. After serving the military I decided to pursue my passion in working with children. I have been a nanny for 6 years and have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education. I have experience as a ROTA nanny and would love to continue my search in finding the perfect family to fill that role. Though, I am open to other positions. I’ve cared for all ages ranging from infants to teens. I am also experienced with preschool twins, children with special needs, overnight care, and babysitting large groups of children. I am CPR/First Aid certified and I am bilingual (Spanish). I can provide my resume, reference letters and background check upon request. If I could describe myself in three words they would be responsible, creative and loving. I enjoy seeing younger children reach new development mile stones by introducing fun games and appropriate toys using the Montessori approach. For older children I enjoy arts and crafts, park adventures, beach, and appropriate age activities! Apart from entertainment, I engage school age children in their school work and I can assist with tutoring and structural activities. Hope to find the perfect family to fill either a ROTA position, full time or part time job!
