Hello! My name is Luanna, I am 26 years old and graduated from VCU with a bachelor's in psychology and criminal justice. Towards the end of my undergraduate studies, I shifted my focus on child development. I am working on my masters degree as well as my teaching license. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am also comfortable with travel and also have a clean driving record and a drivers license. I have a younger brother that I watched growing up and eventually began babysitting around my neighborhood. I was a high school and college athlete, so babysitting allowed me to have a more flexible schedule. I briefly worked at a Montessori preschool as an assistant teacher as well. I have experience in all ages (from 2 months to 17 years old) and training with a wide range of special needs and disabilities. I am bilingual (Portuguese and English). Housework, transportation, and pets are no issue. I’m a believer that my role in the house is to be an extra helper who makes your life easier! I am recently engaged and they will often offer an extra set of hands for me when needed. I am currently living in Roanoke VA; however, I am moving to Michigan by thanksgiving to be closer to family so relocation assistance would be preferred but not required. I am looking for a long-term position with one family and to build a personal relationship with you and your children. I hope to bring comfort and more stability into your home and assist your family as much as possible. My hope is to develop a reliable and personal relationship. I encourage physical activity and spending time outdoors as much as possible and to have as much fun as you can whenever you can. I will always try to create a healthy environment with open communication, and learn how to best support your children in whatever their interests may be. My main goal is to be able to assist in your child’s mental and physical development as well as their emotional wellbeing. I practice gentle parenting ideologies and hope to become a safe space for your children. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I appreciate the opportunity and thank you for your time. - Luanna P.

I’m in college as a criminal justice major. I love children and would love to help you out. I have about 8 years of experience of child care and I’m an aunt of 12 children and love them all.

I am a mom myself! I understand that when you leave your baby with anyone you’re leaving a piece of your heart. This truly is a passion for me. Every child deserves to have love and safe care. I also have my degree in psychology that was focused around child centered studies. Every child is a unique individual and should be treated as such. After my heels and Montessori and receiving my Montessori, infinite and toddlers certification, I also believe in following the child. Yes routine and structure is important. However, getting to know a child in their needs is much more important.

I love being a babysitter because it offers a unique opportunity to bond with children, witness their growth, and experience the joy they bring, while also providing valuable experience and a chance to make a positive impact on their lives. I have 8 siblings and I’m the oldest out of 6! I have training from newborn to teen!

I am CPR certified and have a car with a great driving record.

Hi everyone! I’m a professional ballerina with Syracuse City Ballet, and just looking for some extra work. I am the oldest of five children and teach ballet classes to children too! I love playing fun games, going outside with the kids, occasional ice cream trips of course, and just hanging out and doing crafts/ watching movies. I miss my family back home and my siblings back home so babysitting will help me feel fulfilled and happier too :)

Hello Parents! My name is Megan and my journey in childcare began at the age of 13 when I volunteered as a camp counselor while my family lived overseas. Throughout high school, I balanced babysitting with my studies, extracurricular activities, and sports. After returning to the United States for college, I earned a B.A. in Psychology with a focus on cognitive development and early childhood from Radford University. Currently, I am pursuing a B.S. in Early Childhood and Interdisciplinary Studies at Liberty, with an anticipated graduation in Spring 2026. I have a deep passion for working with children and am fascinated by their growth and development during the critical early years. My experiences in babysitting, nannying, and licensed childcare facilities have fueled my enthusiasm for nurturing young minds. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your little ones! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or are interested in my services.
