Hi! I’m a senior year nursing major at JMU with plans to join the Navy once I graduate. I’m home for the summer and I’m looking for babysitting/nannying jobs to occupy my time. I have been babysitting/nannying for the past 8 years and I have experiences with kids ranging from 1 month old to 12 years old. I am CPR/BLS certified. I’m a big dog person and I’d be happy to watch them too. I love kids, enjoy being active/going outside, and I LOVE cooking and baking!

I work as a nanny for over 9 years , my last job I was almost 4 years with the family , they are diplomats , I took care of a couple of 1 year and 2 months old twins and another 4 year old boy . I took care of the children , I organized clothes , I took the older boy to and from school , I took care of the twins full time , we did activities on the street and we went to the playground . I have a letter of recommendation. I am very punctual with schedules and tasks. I can travel with the family if they need to. I can be alone with the children if the parents want to travel alone, as my old bosses travel a lot and left me alone with the children. My last family as a nanny I worked for four years, 2021- 2025 watching twins and an older one. I just left the family end of January this year, but I still doing some work the family as they need. I just left the family because I started college class full time and I couldn’t be full-time nanny for them.
“Great experience! My kids love her!”
Megan $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Megan and I’m currently on summer break as a special education teacher in FCPS. I have a degree in Child Development & Family Studies with a minor in Special Education. I have been working with children since 2019 and can’t imagine doing anything else! I have experience with children of all ages and all abilities. I love planning activities and differentiating them for different skill levels so that no one is left out. Oh, I love all animals from fluffy to scaly too, so pets are not a problem!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
