Destinee $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Destinee!! I’m currently a CNA and I’ve worked as a pediatric CNA, so I have real hands-on experience caring for kids and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I’m also BLS CPR certified. I’m super patient, easygoing, and I genuinely enjoy being around kids. I like doing things like crafts, playing games, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy. At the same time, I take safety really seriously and always stay attentive. I’m reliable and understanding, and I’m happy to help out with things like meals, bedtime routines, or light cleaning if needed. I’d love to be someone you can trust with your kids and make things easier for your family!!!

Kayeann $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kayeann and I have been working as a nanny for 41 years and I love what I am doing. Children are a blessing to work with in my eyes, I adore working with newborns through five years old because that is the most important years of their lives. During the first five years children are a sponge and learn so much. Children over all are just a pleasure to work with. I love working with the future of the world and inspiring them to be the best they can be.

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!

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 13 families in Martinsburg, WV

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!
