Sittercity helps Harrisonburg families find the best nannies

I have spent the last 2 years teaching 2nd grade. I have a bachelors degree in Elementary Education, as well as a masters degree in Literacy Education. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have my own reliable car and am able to cook, clean and care for any pets.

I’ve been in childcare for over 17 years. I started as working in my home. I’ve been a full-time nanny for the last eight years. I also have DSP recognization under my belt. It’s a passion that I enjoy. I love children. I love helping families. I am also the employee of record for my mother, so I hire people to attend to her medical needs Monday through Friday and sometimes the weekend I was her care aid, but I continuously want to stay in the field of working with the children, so that’s why I moved up to her employee of record. I have references to back my word up. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am a mother of three. I am a wife and a woman of God.

I am an 18-year-old who loves children and has experience with a range of ages. I worked at Good Shepherd School and Daycare for a year, babysit for others when needed, and regularly help with church functions for the children and their families. I am also CPR/First aid certified. I would love to help you out sometime!

My name is Lauren Keaney. I am 19 years old and I am currently a sophomore at NOVA; I also work part-time at a local bakery. I am the oldest of four children, and have many years of babysitting experience with children of all ages! I have references upon request, and would love to hear from you!

Hi! My name is Claire Piatt and I’m a graduate student at JMU. I’m approaching my second year in a master’s program, where I’m studying Behavior Analysis. I work with kids (mainly ages 18 months- 7years) on a daily basis, so I feel very confident that I can provide engaging, fun, and safe care for your children. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and nannied for a family in college. I enjoy living in the Shenandoah Valley, and would love to connect with a family in the area this summer.

Hi! I am a recent college graduate from JMU who is living in Harrisonburg and looking to help out families :) I have provided care for local families and those living closer to an hour away. I like working with kids because I like getting to experience lots of joyful, simplistic interactions and providing teaching moments. I love how working with kids is rewarding for everyone all around. I can allow a parent/caregiver to feel comfortable putting their children in reliable hands while I serve as a role model and engage in activities. I started working with kids my freshman year of high school. I have been working with kids for nine years. I have watched children from 20+ different families from ages 4 mos-11 years across various settings. I have experience watching children at my own home, parent/caregiver's home, church, hotels, and wedding venues. In addition, I've spent time substitute teaching for preschool-middle school classes. I am certified in CPR and first aid. In my spare time, I like to do anything outside such as going on long walks, playing spikeball and pickleball, and going hiking! I also love baking. My skills include patience, communication, and organization.

Hi, Im Maia! I am a very energetic, outgoing person who has been babysitting for over 7 years. I am a recent graduate of James Madison University with a Bachelors of Science in Biology. I am staying in Harrisonburg throughout the summer and in the foreseeable future! I have taken care kids of all ages, taken care of children with special needs before, and have some experience with children with medical needs. I also have a history as a pet sitter, and have taken care of many dogs and cats. I own a cat currently and grew up with two dogs. I have access to my own car and a drivers license, so I am able to run errands and pick up as well. I have been CPR certified and have taken child care courses in the past.

Hi! My name is Lauren, I am a rising Junior at James Madison University studying Elementary Education. I live in the Lansdowne area and graduated from Riverside High School. I spent summers of 2022 and 2024 nannying infants (2-7 months). I have been babysitting for 8 years, ran the preschool program at my high school, volunteered as a mini cheer class instructor, and was a children's party host at Hyperkidz indoor playground. I also work for event caregivers and We serve too providing childcare during events. I am first aid and CPR certified. I also love and am comfortable around animals. I was co-president of Educators Rising at my High school which allowed myself and others to volunteer in elementary school classrooms at Seldens Landing. In my senior year, I was a part of the teacher cadet program at my school where I got work as an assistant/student teacher in a preschool classroom. I have taken early childhood education courses.

I am a Virginia native, but I am planning to move to Charlotte, NC, in September, and I am seeking a full-time nanny position (40+ hr/wk) to start then. I love kids! I have fifteen years of experience working with children, from infants to teenagers and every age in between. In my three and a half years as a full-time nanny I have focused on toddlers and tweens, but I would welcome the opportunity to care for an infant full-time. I am CPR & first aid certified and earned my degree in elementary education. I love reading to kids, teaching them about the world around them, playing sports and games and dress-up, helping with homework, baking, crafting, etc. Do you need someone to drive your kids to school and activities, do dishes and laundry, make dinner, and take the dog out? I can have you covered there too! You can rest assured that I will take great care for your child(ren). I am a committed follower of Christ who loves to read, learn, travel, explore, bake, sing, and dance! I'm also an animal lover, a history buff, and a movie fan.
