Babysitter Available in Forest, VA: Makenzie W.

Hi! My name is Makenzie, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys working with children. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and have experience caring for children in a childcare setting, where I’ve helped create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.

I’m currently a college student working toward a career in pediatric oncology nursing, so caring for children is something I’m truly passionate about. I love keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, and other age-appropriate activities while making sure they feel safe and supported.

I’m patient, reliable, and always strive to give parents peace of mind while they’re away. Whether you need occasional date-night care, daytime babysitting, or last-minute help, I’d love the opportunity to care for your little ones!
Lisa P. - Seeking Work in Forest

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Forest, VA: Lisa P.

Hello!
My name is Lisa. I’m 60 years old. I have raised two daughters, who are now 27 and 30. I was a stay-at-home mom from their births until my youngest daughter entered kindergarten. During that time, I provided after school care for two children in my home.
I am a licensed VA teacher, certified in PK-8th grade. I have most of my teaching years in Preschool and 1st grade. Although I have enjoyed being in the classroom, I am desiring a Nanny position. I like the idea of caring for less children and being able to give them more attention and love than I can give students in the classroom.
I am very knowledgeable, kind, patient, loving, reliable, responsible, and enjoy exposing children to many different types of fun and engaging activities!
Please feel free to ask any additional questions you may have.

Sincerely,
Lisa Priest

Autumn B. - Seeking Work in Forest

Babysitter Available in Forest, VA: Autumn B.

My name is Autumn, and my unique background has instilled in me a profound sense of compassion and resilience. Growing up with absent parents, I quickly learned the value of community and self-reliance, which fostered a strong drive to support others who might face similar challenges. I have developed exceptional empathy and active listening skills, and I have my way with words, allowing me to connect deeply with people from diverse backgrounds, people in general, and understand their unique needs. These experiences taught me resourcefulness and a proactive approach to problem-solving that I apply to all situations. I am a dedicated team player, committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment wherever I go. I am now eager to leverage this experience to contribute meaningfully to your child and household.
