Janet Hampton
$12 per hour for 1 child

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. :)

Booked by 1 family in Poquoson, VA

Hi! My name is Ashley and I’m a dedicated and reliable babysitter with about 5 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I enjoy helping families with one-time or occasional babysitting, pet care, or simply helping around the house and running errands. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping kids safe, engaged, and comfortable while following household routines. I’m also very comfortable around animals and happy to help with feedings, walks, drop-ins, or overnight sitting. I take trust seriously and aim to give parents peace of mind while they’re away, I look forward to meeting your family!

She was amazing very professional and went above and beyond when I had an unexpected issue. I truly appreciate her reliability and care.

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.
