More About Me

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

I nannied two boys ages, 2 and 4 for about a year 1 to 2 times a week. They were very energetic so we spent a lot of time outside. The family had a pool so I do have experience with caring for kids around bodies of water.

I babysat very frequently for a family with two girls ages 2 and 5. They enjoyed doing crafts, playing with toys, and watching movies.

I need last summer for a family with two boys ages 5 and 8. They both played baseball and hockey so we spent most of our time outside practicing their sport and sometime inside playing with toys or video games. Periodically the family would schedule times for us to go to the trampoline park or out to eat.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Crafts, playing outside, fun learning lessons, simple baking or cooking, playing with their toys.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I feel it’s most important to fill the kids time up with things that are interactive such as crafts, playing outside, or fun learning lessons rather than being stuck to a screen all day. I understand that kids get excited to have somebody other than their parent watch them so I try to make the day as fun as possible.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve babysat a few times for a family with a little boy who had autism. He required special attention, but for the most part enjoyed playing by himself. My main job was to feed, cleanup, and supervise.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love when I come back to babysit a family I don’t see often and the kids get so excited.

Julianne C. - Seeking Work in Blacksburg

Part-Time Nanny Available in Blacksburg, VA: Julianne C.

Hello my name is Julianne! I am 17 years old and have loved taking care of kids since I was 7! I always wanted to become a babysitter or nanny so right when I turned 11 I got my babysitters certificate from RedCross training programs. I am willing to work part-time or full-time jobs. I am energetic and outgoing and will match the kids energy. I have taken care of kids from newborns to 10 year olds! I have multiple references if needed, and I work a semi-daycare job at Blacksburg Christian Fellowship during the fall and winter to spring. I always make sure to follow parents rules and boundaries and ask a bunch of questions just so everything is clear to me! I always take my babysitting jobs very seriously and try to do them the very best I can! If the parents allow it I like to bring multiple items I make to play games, depending on their age groups, that stimulate creativity and fun with the kids.

Hello! My name is Aisha and I am 21 years old! I was born in Syria but I have lived in the United States my entire life. I have experience working in women’s health and I worked closely with pregnant patients! My hobbies include reading next to windows, taking questionably long walks, and eating cuisines from around the world.
