Hello, I'm Victoria and I love working with children! I am a current nursing student at GMU and an aspiring NICU nurse. I had personal experience with babysitting since I was 8 years old when it came to watching my younger sibling from baby to grade school age. Some of my roles are helping with homework after school, getting kids off/on the bus, picking up/dropping them off from school, making snacks, etc. I also volunteer at church in the infants and toddlers department. Some responsibilities are snack time, coloring, and of course playtime. I truly enjoy watching out for kids and just like them, am energetic myself. I'm patient, enthusiastic, kind, and CPR certified.
Hi! My name is Khia, and I’m an 18-year-old college student majoring in elementary education. While I’m home from school until January 16th, I’m offering occasional babysitting for families who need help with date nights, after-school care, or last-minute and emergency situations. I have experience caring for children from infancy through pre-teens and focus on creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through reading, arts and crafts, games, and outdoor play, and I’m happy to help with homework, meals, and daily routines. My education background helps me stay patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s needs. I also have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and general supervision. I’m comfortable with large dogs and pets that shed, and I’ve volunteered with an animal rescue, which helped me gain confidence working with different animals and temperaments. I take pride in being dependable, calm, and communicative, and I aim to make both children and parents feel comfortable and at ease.
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!
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.
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.
