More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have volunteered with a local 4-H group as a leader. This involved helping children (ages 4-12) learn about animals and how to care for them.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love being outside. I also like being creative. Sometimes I will do stuff like create a scavenger hunt where the child has to see and find certain things. Then when we get back home, we can make a craft out of the treasures. I like doing messy stuff outside. Such as painting pumpkins in the fall or painting with bubbles in the summer. I enjoy taking kids to kid friendly classes (little gym, story time, swim classes), scheduling play dates, and letting them have new fun opportunities. I like getting kids out of the house and see new things like farm parks, new playgrounds, and other play places, but I also like doing fun stuff at home like craft projects, games, and just playing and having fun.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I think the most important part of being a nanny is teaching a child. Not just stuff like letters and numbers, but stuff like how to share, how to be kind, and how to make friends.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I have had so many fun nanny moments with each child I’ve been with. Probably some of my favorites were meeting new little ones that were born after I started or hitting new milestones like walking, crawling, and talking. Each day brings a special new memory.

Babysitter Available in Harrisonburg, VA: Zoe M.
Hi! My name is Zoe, and I’m a junior at JMU studying Elementary Education. I absolutely love working with children and appreciate every opportunity to help them learn, grow, and have fun!
I have experience babysitting for two families, working with children ranging from toddlers under 4 to children ages 6–10. Through these experiences, I’ve enjoyed creating fun activities, helping with routines, and making sure the children I care for feel safe, comfortable, and supported.
At JMU, I’m also involved in the education community and serve on the executive board of an education honor society. My experiences both in and outside of the classroom have strengthened my passion for working with children and pursuing a career in education.
Outside of school, I love reading, watching movies, and spending time with my friends. I’m excited to meet new families and provide a fun, caring, and dependable babysitting experience!

My first experience was babysitting at age 10... My most educational and learning was with my job at Gateway Academy, in South Carolina.. I was the lead 2year old teacher for almost 5 years. At this daycare it was run like a school, I had to make lesson plans and potty training along with lots of other things.. I watched over 20, 2 year olds...I also took care of a 27 year old angle she was.. She has downs syndrome, but I lived with her and her mother as Melissa's caregiver. That was one of the best five years in my life!!! I love children being around them makes you feel so young and blessed. Any questions please have no hesitation to phone me.

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Harrisonburg, VA: Brittany H.
Hi there! I’m Brittany, 22 years old and currently residing in Harrisonburg, VA. I am a server but I am also interning and studying to become a real estate agent one day. So, for the last 7 months is the first time in four years that I have not been working with children and I am miserable! Working with only adults is stressful and not any fun at all! I have always had many random babysitting jobs growing up or the typical summers nannying while the kids are out of school. I miss it, I truly miss being around their kind souls and free spirits. What makes me stand out is that I’m fun! I worked at a kids spa from May 2013 to April 2017 doing birthday parties (7 parties a weekend, that’s a lot of parties) and let me tell you, that was my favorite job I’ve ever had. Being able to create a space and to be able to interact with kids on their level and just embracing their childhood and having fun with them is really important to me. I am also a very nurturing individual and like to take care of people when they are sick or anytime really. I also am a little bit of a neat freak so your house wouldn’t be destroyed when you come home, it would probably be pretty tidy, which is anther benefit of hiring me as a nanny. I would love to be working with kids again sooner than later. I am not in school right now so my availability is pretty open please contact me if you need a hand!
