A little bit about me

I graduated from JMU in 2020 with a degree in Computer Science and I have extensive childcare experience. I've worked as a swim instructor for kids ages 4 mo-12 yrs old (group classes of 4 children & one on one classes- including lessons for special needs students), a math & science tutor, back-up nanny, and full time nanny in diverse families and settings. I really enjoy spending time with children, getting to know their personalities, and watching them grow and advance with age and experience.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Swim Instructor at Aquatots Swim Schools, math & science tutor (4th & 5th grade), back-up nanny, part & full time nanny

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to read, craft, play board games, plan & complete activities like baking, science experiments, etc.
I also love to be outdoors & explore the valley. During the summer I've taken kids on river floats, hikes, and to fun swimming holes in the area.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Adapting to children's different personalities & needs. No two children are the same and I think flexibility is really important when handling challenges. It's also necessary to adapt to different parenting styles & try to align with the family you're working for so the children have consistent boundaries and expectations. This reduces behavioral problems & provides a sense of security for the kids.

My experience with special needs children...

As a swim instructor I did one on one lessons for students with special needs (ex. Cerebral Palsy, down syndrome, ASD), behavioral issues, or other needs (ex. extreme anxiety, overactivity)

The most important part about being a nanny...

After I returned from vacation one of my boys said he missed me so much & the other babysitter just wasn't the same- he didn't like that she spoke to him like a baby, because "he's a big kid"! It was really touching to know the kids loved me as much as I loved them & that they appreciated the respect I treated them with.

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!
