Booked by 3 families in Norfolk, VA

Hello all, My name is Shakira. I’m originally from Rochester, Ny but I’ve relocated down to Norfolk, Va for college. I’m the youngest sibling of many so for most of my life I’ve been babysitting all my nieces and nephew. I’m very energetic and down to earth so for me it’s easy to connect with kids of all ages. I’m a jack of all trades so I’m open to doing any activity that a kid might enjoy including sports, baking, walking, reading, and video games/board games. I am a sponge when it comes to information so anything I don’t know I will make sure I learn it. I look forward to connecting with your family.

Incredibly kind and great with my two boys! Went above and beyond to take care of them. Would love to have her again for future care!

$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Deanshe, and I’m excited to care for your little one. I have two years of experience working as a teacher assistant at a daycare, where I cared for infants through two-year-olds. During that time, I supported children’s early learning, development, and daily routines like feeding, diapering, and naptime. Currently, I work as a nurse assistant on a labor and delivery unit, where I continue to support mothers and newborns. This has strengthened my knowledge of infant care and safety, and it’s deepened my passion for working with children and families.

Hi there! My name is Zoe, and I have one year of experience working with infants and young toddlers between 4 and 18 months old. I truly enjoy spending my days helping little ones learn, play, and grow in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.
