I am a goofy, smiley 26 year old who loves infants and children. I have 5 years of experience working with children and babysitting. I work as a CNA in Postpartum and Pediatrics. I am very comfortable caring for infants and young children (therefore very patient :)). I am also comfortable with pets, and am willing to help with small tasks around the house if asked!

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!
Hi ! I’m Shantel. I’ve supported several families as a trusted babysitter and night nanny, providing hundreds of hours of overnight infant and newborn care. You’ll find me flexible and easy-going. I genuinely care about nurturing kids and watching them grow and change as they experience the world ❤️ I’d love to help you out if I can. As an RN, nothing is too messy, complicated or overwhelming. And as a mom of 4, nothing is too unpredictable or chaotic. 🙂 Overnights are my sweet spot right now with my family’s schedule ! 9pm-7am Good luck in your search! I hope you find exactly the right fit and the peace of mind you are looking for.
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!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
