Find experienced nannies in Big Island, VA

Hello families! My name is Taylor Chewning and I have been in the childcare field for two years. I am currently majoring in elementary education at Liberty University. I have CPR and First Aid certification for infants, children, and adults. I have a paraprofessional certification as well as training in dyslexia awareness and various Penn State preservice completions for child care staff. My Early Childhood Education classes at my local community college helped me learn how young children are wired and how to interact with them accordingly. I worked in a primary school with ages 4-6 for one year and am currently working at a Montessori school. Right now I interact with and care for children ranging from ages between 6 months and 10 years old. My top priorities in any childcare position are safety, development, and creating a loving atmosphere where kids can be themselves. I am great with homework help and love to teach kids new games, skills, and problem-solving techniques. I was blessed to win first place at the Educators Rising 2025 Conference by creating and delivering a STEM lesson to kindergarten students. My students learned something new that day while also having a memorable lesson that many of them talked about for weeks afterwards. I can change any diaper and am willing to help with potty training as well! I have developed a close relationship with many of my students and care for them all very deeply. When children are under my watch I respect the wishes and routines of parents while also caring for each child as if they were my own. If your family is in need of childcare, I would love to be considered! Please feel free to reach out for references or further information if you so desire. Have a blessed day

I’m a recent graduate of highschool, and at 18 I’ve already been working with children for 7+ years. I’m the oldest of six kids, and have been around children of all ages my whole life. I started professionally babysitting by 11, and Nannied at 14-16. I love working with and caring for children, I’m hoping to be the right fit for the right family! I’m pet-friendly, can cook, clean, and achieve any task you ask of me. My starting rate is $19-$30 per hour, but it’s negotiable depending on the family. I’m looking for full-time weekdays, and 30-40 hour weeks.

From a young age, I have nurtured a deep affection for children. My extensive experience in childcare, spanning from infant to teenage years, has honed my abilities to work effectively with children of diverse ages and developmental stages. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated reliability, dependability, and a positive attitude, qualities that would make me an invaluable asset to any childcare setting. Children are inherently joyful companions, and I find immense pleasure in their infectious laughter and playful antics.

For over 10 years, I have been dedicated to providing exceptional pet care. My philosophy is simple: prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness, treating them as if they were my own, while reinforcing positive behaviors. I maintain a clean and secure environment, cleaning up after any accidents, and I am vigilant in observing for any signs of distress. I always have emergency contact information readily available and communicate immediately with you about any concerns. Quick thinking and responsible decision-making are my priorities. I enjoy witnessing each pet's unique personality and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment, offering you peace of mind. I am punctual, responsible, and empathetic. I am also trained in CPR and First Aid. I am eager to help with your dogs and cats through pet sitting and walking!

Hi! My name is Alissa, and I have a true passion for caring for children of all ages. I’ve spent years helping care for younger siblings, family members, and children in my community, and I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, reading stories, helping with homework, or keeping little ones on a routine, I’m happy to adapt to each family’s needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and always prioritize your child’s safety and well-being. I also don’t mind helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, or caring for pets if needed. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure their children are happy, engaged, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family!

Hello! I’m a college student looking for a good babysitting job!! I adore children and have been babysitting since I was 12 with church families :) I have a super flexible schedule and am experienced with mostly anything

Hey! My name is Kimberly and I’m a recent college graduate! I’ve grown up babysitting my younger cousins, but most recently I’ve consistently babysat twin boys in my hometown, so I have a lot of experience with kids!!

As both a mother and former nanny, I understand the trust parents place in those who care for their children. I believe every child is a blessing and deserves patience, kindness, encouragement, and attentive care. Children are a blessing and a gift from God. I would love to be able to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can feel cared for while their parents are away. My prior nanny experience •Cared for two young children, providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment each day. •Planned fun, age-appropriate activities while managing meals, naps, and daily routines. •Assisted with diaper changes, feeding, potty training, and other daily care needs. •Kept play and living areas clean and organized •Maintained open communication with parents about schedules, milestones, and daily experiences. •Used patience, compassion, and good judgment to meet the children's individual needs. •Remained calm and attentive when handling unexpected situations. •Built strong, lasting relationships with the children and their family, creating bonds that continue to be meaningful in my life today. I would love to babysit your kids when needed! I do work at a church nursery on Sundays from 9am-12pm but am free after that. I also would love to help throughout the week. I do have a 2 year old child that I would have to bring with me unless it was after 5:30PM. I can also watch children in my home which is already baby proofed. I would of course let parents come and check everything out beforehand. Thank you!
