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.

Hi! My name is Ava-Joy, and I’m a Nursing Assistant and part-time college student with a background in both caregiving and babysitting. I truly enjoy working with children and helping them feel safe, cared for, and supported. My experience as a CNA has taught me to be patient, reliable, and attentive, and I bring those same qualities when caring for kids. I enjoy helping with homework, reading, playing games, and keeping things calm and positive. I’m responsible, understanding, and love being someone families can count on.

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.

My name is Laylani, and I love working with children. Growing up, I always took care of my younger sister, bathing her, helping with her homework, and more. I also have experience from helping out at two different daycares—one was home-based and family-owned, and the other was where a family member worked, where I assisted with infants and toddlers aged 2-3 years. I enjoy working with kids because it's incredibly rewarding to see them learn and grow. Their energy and curiosity are infectious, making my job fascinating and exciting. Plus, the joy and laughter children bring can brighten anyone's day. What sets me apart as a babysitter is my reliability, creativity, and genuine love for working with children. Engaging kids in fun and educational activities while ensuring their safety is my top priority. Additionally, I have great communication skills.

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 :)
