Hello, my name is Doreen, and caring for children has been a meaningful part of my life for over 30 years. I’m a reliable, patient, and compassionate caregiver with extensive experience supporting children of all ages, including those with ADD, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I take pride in creating a warm, safe, and structured environment where children feel understood, supported, and free to be themselves. Families describe me as dependable, calm under pressure, and deeply committed to each child’s well-being. I am mother so I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease, and I’m dedicated to providing the kind of care you can truly count on.
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 Meredith and I’m a senior at Old Dominion University. I will be graduating with my Bachelor’s in Elementary education in May. I am offering child care for anyone who needs a babysitter! I have been working in childcare since May 2021, and have worked as a lead art teacher, substitute teacher, and summer camp counselor. My responsibilities have included teaching children about art and technology, crafts, and tutoring!
Hi everyone! My name is Tiara I have worked with children since I was young. I have been working in childcare in a licensed facility for over 7 years. I love working with children and plan to open my own daycare one day. I have basic knowledge of milestones for children and their development. I can't wait to meet you!
I love Animals, Kids, and Seniors too! please text me first then we can arrange a phone chat. [removed] ME: 55 yrs old, Recently retired from Howard County Recreation and Parks in Maryland and relocated to Midlothian, VA as of Summer 2025. Most recent position was as a recreation Supervisor focusing mostly in Special Events for all ages. Began career with HCRP caring for children in after school programs and camps. Some additional experience includes working with people with disabilities and Seniors ( including my own parents - my Father had Alzheimer's). I hold degrees in Theater and English from the University of Maryland. Very Arts oriented and creative. Have my own physical limitations so Sports and highly physical activities are not my thing but any kid or adult who enjoys the arts and being silly will like me. I'm happy to stay home with your loved ones or take them out on a fun outting. I have transportation. I also have experience with personal care. I'm not a cook per se, but I can prepare basic meals. I also adore animals of all kinds. I have a dog of my own. Pets and babies usually like my singing....lol. I can do occasional overnights with proper notice. I look forward to bringing some fun with me to share with your loved ones. *If you have/ provide arts & crafts materials, I would be happy to make things with your loved ones. Age is irrelevant. Everyone can enjoy and benefit from Art! **For Pet owners- if you want to arrange a meet and greet with my dog and allow them to play with your furbabies, that can be arranged. My dog is selective to some dogs / cats, so he will like and will play with, some not. It's unpredictable but worth a try. I have many family members and friends with pets he has met. Most have been successful. Only a few were not. ***Even if you don't have pets,but you want me to bring my dog with me to join the fun with your loved ones, I'm happy to do that as well. Pets can be very therapeutic.
