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 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.

Hey there! My name is Olivia Darnell. I spent three years studying Elementary Education and one year in Early Childhood Special Education at Radford University.

I’m a Licensed Practical Nurse based in Roanoke, Virginia, with 3 years of hands-on experience in the NICU as a patient care technician. I’ve spent that time caring for premature and medically fragile newborns, so I’m very comfortable with even the smallest babies and those who need a little extra support. I provide calm, attentive newborn care focused on helping families rest, recover, and feel more confident during those early weeks. I offer night, day, and evening care, and support with feedings, soothing, gentle routine building, and understanding your baby’s cues in a way that feels realistic and not overwhelming. I also have experience caring for babies with a wide range of needs, including prematurity, feeding difficulties, reflux, NAS, Down syndrome, and other genetic or medical conditions. My approach is always gentle, individualized, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a peaceful, supportive environment for both you and your baby, so you can get real rest and feel more at ease during this transition. The care that I provide through here is non-medical only. If you have a home health company that you are paired with, I am happy to discuss working with you through them.

Hi! My name is Brandy, I’m 29 years old and I truly love working with kids. I have over 5 years of experience as a nanny, along with running my own in-home daycare, so caring for children is something I’m very passionate about. I’ve worked with all ages—from newborns up to 14 years old—and I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and focused on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child I care for. I’m also a mom to 8-year-old twin boys who have autism and ADHD. They spent over 3 months in the NICU, which has given me a deeper level of compassion, understanding, and hands-on experience with children who may need extra care and attention. I also have two dogs, so I’m very comfortable being around pets and helping with pet-related needs if needed. I treat every child like my own and strive to give parents peace of mind knowing their kids are in loving, capable hands.

I have a genuine love for children and enjoy creating a nurturing and fun environment for them to thrive. I've worked with little ones in various settings and cherish helping them explore and grow.
