I’m Sara, a twenty year old student at William and Mary. I’ve been babysitting for over 6 years now. I have experience with all ages. Most recently I was an Au Pair in Australia for a 6 month old and a 4 year old. I love doing activities with the kids in my care. Either outside playing sports and games, or doing crafts inside. Whatever the weather and circumstances allow for. I pride myself on being very organized and punctual. I’m looking for part time, or occasional jobs over the summer. Whether that be childcare, household work, or running errands. Please feel free to reach out with questions!
Hi my name’s Janet! I’m currently enrolled in the bachelors business program at ECPI. I work at Park Lane Tavern but am looking for a side gig. I’ve been babysitting ever since I was 12 and have a wide range of experience with many ages. I also used to lifeguard and teach swim lessons. I still have my CPR and first aid certification. I also have two nieces and a nephew that are my whole world that I love to take care of and do fun things with. I’ve pet sat and have taken care of numerous animals before as well. I love to cook and bake. I also don’t mind cleaning or doing any chores. Always leave things better than the way you found it, also who doesn’t love to come back to a cleaner house with no dishes. :)
I am 20 years old and am currently in school to become an elementary school teacher. I have always wanted to become a teacher. I have been at a daycare for a little over a year now. I have had to get a few certifications with working here. I am CPR and first aid certified, I have some child development courses/certified and some health and safety ones as well. I have some knowledge on how to help teach them the certain milestones they need at the young developing age. I have always loved dogs and pretty much any animal.
Hi! My name is Corrine, and I'm an upcoming sophomore at Hampton University with a genuine passion for working with children. I currently work at a daycare, where I've gained hands-on experience caring for children in a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. I love building meaningful connections with kids, encouraging their creativity, and helping them learn and grow through fun activities. I'm a dependable, patient, and responsible caregiver who understands the importance of creating a positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and happy. Whether it's helping with homework, planning fun activities, preparing simple meals, or sticking to bedtime routines, I'm committed to making each family's day a little easier. I'm currently looking for babysitting or part-time nanny opportunities and would love the chance to become a trusted caregiver for your family. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
