Find experienced child care providers in Shenandoah, VA

Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving Auntie and experienced Nanny. My child care experience ranges from newborns to teens, including children with disabilities, in home and daycare settings for the past ten years. I approach each assignment with curiosity, taking note and asking questions to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I strive to establish trust and routine with the children in my care, by asking them questions, reading books, and leading developmentally appropriate activities and games. More about me: I am First Aid/CPR trained, fluent in American Sign Language, and have a reliable vehicle. I spend my down time hiking, reading, baking, roller skating, and making pottery at a local studio. I work weekday mornings as a lunch lady in a middle school, offering babysitting services every weekend and on weekdays after 1:00 pm. If your family is searching for a friendly & reliable babysitter in the Harrisonburg area, I would love to hear from you! 🌟

I love being a sitter because caring for kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I have 3–4 years of experience working with children ages 1 to 14 (I have mainly worked with toddlers, and elementary aged children) so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m a patient and reliable caregiver who always prioritizes safety and fun. I’m also a great cook and can prepare meals or snacks that kids enjoy. Along with keeping things tidy, I make sure to leave the home just as clean (or cleaner!) than when I arrived.

I'm a rising college senior with 6 years of experience babysitting, coaching swim (ages 6-18) and Girls on The Run, and teaching individual swim lessons (ages 4-12). I believe in creating fun, supportive environments where kids can feel safe to explore, express themselves, and grow. My goal is to be a mentor who uplifts, listens, and empowers young people through connection and play! I'm CPR & First Aid certified, and my years of child supervision in a pool setting have made me a safety conscious sitter! I have a car and can provide transportation for myself and children, and I am comfortable with meal prep and light housework. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and kind. I always show up with a smile ready to make the day meaningful!

Hi there! My name is Natalie Fowler and I am a sophomore at JMU. I have been working with children for over 7 years—starting as a babysitter and moving into a nanny role for the last 3 years. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep passion for creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments for children of all ages. I’m a firm believer in the importance of building trust with both kids and parents. Whether I’m helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or managing bedtime routines, I’m always attentive to each child’s unique needs. I aim to not only ensure they are safe but also to provide enriching experiences that help them grow and learn. I pride myself on being patient, creative, and highly adaptable. I’m experienced with everything from toddler tantrums to helping with school projects, and I enjoy finding new ways to engage kids and make our time together meaningful.
