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! ”
I’m a nursing student looking for part time/ as needed babysitting jobs. I have a BLS certification, a clean driving record, and reliable transportation.

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. I’m CPR certified and have all the required certifications to work in early childcare. I’m patient, caring, and always make sure every child feels secure, supported, and cared for. I love planning age appropriate, hands on activities that encourage early learning, curiosity, and developmental milestones through play. In addition to caring for children, I’m also happy to help with general cleaning and pet care. I take pride in keeping spaces clean, organized, and welcoming, and I know how important it is for families to have a comfortable, well cared for home. I’m dependable, flexible, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure families feel confident knowing their children, home, and pets are in good hands.
I am active duty military, currently working in Labor and Delivery where I take care of newborns at a MTF. I have been babysitting since I was 16 different age groups. I worked in a summer camp where I managed preteens and children under 10 years old. I am fun, loving, caring and thoughtful!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
