Find local child care providers in Radford, VA

I come from a family of babysitters, my mom and grandma both worked in childcare, so I’ve grown up around it. I’m currently a camp counselor where I lead morning and after care, pool time, and playground activities. I’m also an aunt to a one-year-old girl, so I’m very comfortable caring for infants and toddlers. In my free time, I volunteer as a basketball coach for a local boys’ team. I enjoy working with kids of all ages and love helping them learn, play, and grow. Even though I’m fairly new to working with kids, it’s been such a wonderful and rewarding experience. I’ve learned so much, especially patience and how to connect with each child in their own way. I’ve explored other career paths, but nothing has felt as meaningful as this. I truly enjoy getting to know new families and being a positive part of a child’s day.

Hello my name is Breanna!! I am a 2023 graduate from Virginia Tech. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science degrees in Human Nutrition, Foods, & Exercise and Psychology. I am a VA licensed nursing assistant and was an American Red Cross trained/licensed lifeguard in my hometown for 4 years. I have been certified in CPR for healthcare professionals for several years (This covers adult, children, & infant advanced life support techniques). I most recently was employed with VCOM Sports and Osteopathic Medicine in Blacksburg, VA as a Certified Nursing Assistant and was with them for 18 months prior to temporarily moving to Boiling Springs Lakes, NC. In this practice I had hands on experience with adults (young and old), children, and Infants. I have two nieces whom I have sat for since they were infants and I have also sat for friends who have children whose ages have ranged from newborn-5 years old. I also have no problem with pets/ animals. I have 2 miniature dachshund/chihuahua mix named Roxi (4years old) and Ripley (3 years old). I also have an Australian cattle dog named Blakely (2 years old). I can provide references from people whom I have sat for and would be willing to meet with you and your child/children/pets so you can see us interact before you make a decision on whether or not to move forward. I’m happy to answer any questions. I hope I can be of service to you! My Availability at this point varies. I am looking for mostly part-time jobs at this point. I’m open to sitting for date nights, friends nights out, weddings, etc. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me! I look forward to meeting you + your children 🤍

My name is Eman. I am an 20-year-old college student at Virginia Tech. I am a cheerful, positive, and respectful person. I enjoy working with children of all ages and have experience caring for children with special needs. I have 3 years of paid babysitting experience during which I was an after-school sitter for 2 different families for children from 3 years old to twelve years old. I also previously worked at a math summer camp so I am a great tutor and would love to offer my help. Babysitting is something I love doing because every day is something new and it's amazing being part of a child learning and growing as a person.

Hi! My name is Mallie Edwards! I love being around kids. I have been a babysitter for about 3 years now! I also substitute at an Elementary school and I work at a summer program with children! I love children and them being okay is my top priority. I would love to work with any children.

I'm a sophomore at Virginia Tech, majoring in psychology! I have been babysitting and nannying for various families in my hometown for 5 years now, and I love being around kids and caring for children of all ages. Most of my jobs have been for families in my neighborhood and community. Although I have not worked professionally for a babysitting agency in the past, I am well-qualified and experienced to care for children. I am Red Cross certified and have completed CPR training, so you can be confident knowing your child will be safe under my care. This past summer, I spent time nannying for two separate families, one with a 10-year-old and one with a 10-month-old, so I have a wide range of skills when it comes to all ages. I also have experience tutoring children and can offer my skills to help with homework or projects. When I am babysitting, I love going outside and enjoying nature with the kids, allowing them to explore and grow their creativity and adventurous sides.

Hello, my name is Kimberly Doremus. My Profile says I am currently in Virginia, however I just moved to the Melbourne area! I would like to first thank you for taking the time to read my bio. I have been living in the SouthWest Virginia area for most of my life and am currently settling into the area! A little about me, I worked at a local daycare in Radford VA called Grace A Child, where I was the preschool teacher for two years. Some of the responsibilities I had as being the preschool teacher were potty training, lesson planning/ activities, evaluating children and communicating with families and providing a safe and comforting space for children. After leaving Grace A Child I began working at a childcare center in Blacksburg VA called Rainbow Riders with two year olds for close to two years where I started babysitting for about ten different families from weekend to weekend. I provided care for birthday party help, date nights, parents working on weekends and parents running errands with families of one to three children ranging from a year and a half to ten years old. Many families have said I do a great job at keeping their child safe, happy, calm and they looked forward to seeing me when I am scheduled to come care for them. I truly love caring for children and providing a safe comfortable space for them to explore the interests they have and grow self confidence in themselves. I enjoy doing crafts with children to help with expression and fine motor skills, dance parties and obstacle courses to help with gross motor skills, reading stories to help with language skills, dramatic play to help with social/ emotional skills and more. I am CPR and First Aid certified along with a handful of other certifications through Virginia that I can provide if needed along with references through families I have worked for. In my free time I enjoy paddle boarding with my dog, exploring new trails, spending time with my boyfriend of seven years and going to the beach. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi there! My name is Tigerlilly, and I am looking for a part-time sitter position in the New River area! I am currently studying Psychology at Radford University, and I would love to give my care and attention to a wonderful family in need of child care. I absolutely LOVE spending time with children and learning about their unique interests and passions.

I am from the NoVa area and attending college at Virginia Tech as a freshman in engineering. I love children and am looking for a way to get involved here as I did at home. I started out volunteering at a church nursery when I was 8 years old and babysitting with my older sister when I was 11 years old. More recently (since about age 14- when I was Red Cross certified), I have been babysitting for a few families with children ages 0 months- 13 years on a semi-regular basis.

Hi! My name is Molly, and I’m a sophomore at Virginia Tech studying Mechanical Engineering. I’ve been providing long term child care since I was 16 and have experience caring for children of all ages—from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I have cared for twin babies along with a toddler at the same time, so I’m comfortable balancing multiple needs with patience and care. My responsibilities have included driving children to and from school, preparing meals, planning fun activities, and supporting daily routines like naps, homework, and playtime. I truly enjoy creating a safe and positive environment for kids while giving parents peace of mind. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. Families can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and caring. I am looking for a babysitting job that can fit comfortably with my school schedule. Thanks!
