"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hello! My name is Chloé, and I am a college engineering student with several years of professional childcare, tutoring, and after-school teaching experience. My experience ranges from infants through school-age children and includes recurring infant care, after-school care, transportation, homework support, meals, and bedtime routines. As a STEM-focused college student, I’m also comfortable providing homework support. From March 2024 to October 2025, I worked as an after-school teacher at Lafayette Elementary with students from pre-K through fifth grade. I also provided French and math support as an after-school tutor at Maryvale Elementary. My private-family background includes recurring and occasional care for infants through school-age children, as well as full-time infant care, school pickups, transportation, multi-child care, overnight and extended care, and supporting children with ADHD and autism. Most recently, I provided temporary full-time care for a young infant, including bottles and burping, diaper changes, soothing and naps, tummy time, teething support, and age-appropriate play. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I’m calm, communicative, attentive, and comfortable following established routines. I’m also comfortable with child-related meal preparation, dishes, laundry, and tidying, and I have previous live-in childcare experience. I’m currently looking for recurring care on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday starting October 5th. My availability includes mornings and daytime hours, with greater availability on Wednesdays. I do have occasional pre-scheduled Monday and Tuesday afternoon commitments and can provide those dates in advance. I’m also open to occasional evening, weekend, overnight, and extended care when my schedule allows. I look forward to supporting your family!

Lucia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! My name is Lucia, and I have loved working with children as long as I can remember. My professional experience naturally landed me in education administration at different capacities from Pre-K, to K-12, and even higher education. However, I have had the privilege of holding many hands-on roles directly working in classrooms for 4 years now, primarily with ages from 3 months to 5 years old. My most recent role was oversight of the children's ministry at my local church in Virginia Beach, VA, and I loved every minute of it. I look forward to connecting!
