Hi! I’m Amy, and I’ve been babysitting since high school. Working with kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I graduated from the University of Virginia, where I majored in Psychology and Spanish, and some of my favorite courses focused on infant and child development. I currently work for a school district, primarily with elementary school children, and also have experience as a medical assistant, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for others. I plan on returning to graduate school and am particularly interested in occupational therapy, as I’m passionate about helping children grow and thrive. Having a younger sister with a disability taught me patience, empathy, and how to connect with children of all abilities. I’m COVID vaccinated and comfortable helping with household tasks, meals, homework, and pets, and I’m very hands-on and attentive with kids. I’m available most evenings and weekends and enjoy building meaningful, lasting connections with children and their families.
Hi - My name is Eva. I am offering child care, dog care and household/errands services. I love caring for children of all ages from newborns, infants, toddlers, and teeneagers with over 15 years experince with private families and child development centers and school age programs. Worked often also with military families. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, homework help, behavioral redirection, driving to activities and supervising them and other related duties. I also worked as a household/family assistant and can run errands, do laundry, administrative tasks, book appointments for house maintenance and anything that is asked. Looking forward to work for a team minded family. (I have a Master in Personality Development/Lifespan). Eva
I am a responsible, diligent and efficient semi-retired senior citizen looking for people oriented part time employment. I am good with children as I raised one to be a responsible & self reliant adult. I helped care for a 90+ year old parent until his passing. I have had dogs/cats all my life and am an ASPCA senior provider. I am a stickler for neatness around the house & cooking is my hobby. I hope to hear from you soon.
Currently, I am a Sunday school teacher at my local church where I have been teaching and caring for children in the age range of 0-13y/o for 5 years now. Additionally, I had the privilege of babysitting my 4 nieces and nephews for most of their infant/toddler years. I am CPR certified and have taken courses on early child development. I am passionate about the well being of children, very organized and timely and can adjust well to new environments.
