A little bit about me
Hey there! A bit about me.. I’m 21 and live in the Richmond area! In my free time I love to drive and just jam to music, spend time with my family and friends, during summer I enjoy spending time at my family’s lake house.. to name just a few! People would describe me as reliable, honest, trustworthy, loving, patient, compassionate! As far as my experience working with kids I started out working at preschools and daycares mostly with ages 6m-3y. Then looked into nannying after reading about it online! After finding my first nannying position i was hooked! With nannying I love to go out and do fun activities, stay at home and play with their toys or think of a fun activity at home to do, meal prep, bottle feeding, sleep training, light house work, help with potty training, doing nap time if needed! In past I’ve nannied for a 2 year old and currently I nanny a 9 yo and 3 yo with special needs! Unfortunately I just moved and the drive from my home to their home is no longer doable!

A little bit about me
I have worked with infants, toddlers and elementary age kids for the last 25 years. I can do anything asked of me(educational activities, housework, taking kids on outings, meal prep, errands, anything). I will go above and beyond. I'm honest, trustworthy, hard working, reliable, loving, and flexible. I have experience with infants to teens and have worked as a nanny, gymnastics coach, church nursery assistant, and of course babysitting. I've been working with children since I was 12 years old. I have a true love of watching kids grow and learn and being a part of that experience. I've been a nanny the last 15 years. I'm also a huge animal lover. I'm infant/child and adult first aid/CPR/aed certified. I can provide excellent references.

Hello! My name is Victoria. I am a 23 year old professional moving to Richmond June 2024. I love art, anything crafty, music, and enjoying little moments. I have also played and coached lacrosse since 2014. I live my life with a kindness first mentality.
I am from Lynchburg, VA, and I have been living in Blacksburg, VA since 2020. I have spent the past 2 years working at an office job for Virginia Tech, but I realized that I miss having children in my life. I have found that their joy and curiosity help me to look at the world in such a beautiful way.

A little bit about me
Hi families! My name is Sandell, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I began my childcare career at Tuckaway Child Care, where I learned the importance of structure, patience, and learning through play. Since then, I’ve worked as a nanny and picked up on-demand babysitting and nanny shifts, often being asked back by the same families.
I’m known for being reliable, calm, and nurturing, while keeping children engaged, safe, and supported. I enjoy creating routines, helping with homework, planning fun activities, and making sure each child feels comfortable and cared for.
I’m also currently in nursing school, which has strengthened my knowledge of health, safety, and child development. Caring for others is truly my passion, and I treat every child as if they were my own. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be someone you can trust with your children.

A little bit about me
Dear Family, My name is Esmeralda and I am a optimistic, caring, and loyal individual! I am 24, but once I become close to people, I am protective and more than willing to help them in anyway possible. I come from a loving and close family of five, where I am the middle child, so I can understand children who are oldest and the youngest of the bunch and of course the ones in the middle! I am extremely close with my younger brother, who is only 4 years younger than me. My family's ethnicity is Hispanic but growing up in America definitely gave me two different cultural experiences.I can speak English and basic Spanish, and I personally like to draw and write, though I am learning how to sew! I used to hike when I was younger, so more than enjoy going on walks. I also like to keep things clean and neat, but sometimes a little mess can mean a house is happily lived in.

Thanks! :)
