Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving Auntie and experienced Nanny. My child care experience ranges from newborns to teens, including children with disabilities, in home and daycare settings for the past ten years. I approach each assignment with curiosity, taking note and asking questions to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I strive to establish trust and routine with the children in my care, by asking them questions, reading books, and leading developmentally appropriate activities and games. More about me: I am First Aid/CPR trained, fluent in American Sign Language, and have a reliable vehicle. I spend my down time hiking, reading, baking, roller skating, and making pottery at a local studio. I work weekday mornings as a lunch lady in a middle school, offering babysitting services every weekend and on weekdays after 1:00 pm. If your family is searching for a friendly & reliable babysitter in the Harrisonburg area, I would love to hear from you! 🌟

Hello, I have been working part-time as a babysitting/nannying for 2 families. Due to my clients' life-changes, I am again available full-time or part-time to support the right family/ies. I have a Bachelor's Degree, CPR, First Aid, and all clearances. I most enjoy taking care of newborns, but find that I enjoy each stage of growth when the bond has grown from infancy. I value learning as a priority, reflected by 13 years of commitment to schooling three of my now adult children. What a blessing. I am proud of them all as two of the three have graduated from college. And the other, along with her husband, has brought my dear grandson into my life. I am a nurturer, who loves to learn new things myself, so it comes naturally to explore the world with those I influence. I enjoy teaching, play the piano, sing, draw, paint, cook, bake, read, knit, and create new, fun experiences. I am willing to give overnight care to newborns to give parents a good night of sleep several times per week if/or as needed. References are available on request. I hope to learn more about your family. Kendra

I’ve been in childcare for over 17 years. I started as working in my home. I’ve been a full-time nanny for the last eight years. I also have DSP recognization under my belt. It’s a passion that I enjoy. I love children. I love helping families. I am also the employee of record for my mother, so I hire people to attend to her medical needs Monday through Friday and sometimes the weekend I was her care aid, but I continuously want to stay in the field of working with the children, so that’s why I moved up to her employee of record. I have references to back my word up. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am a mother of three. I am a wife and a woman of God.

Good Day! For over twenty years, I have been serving others with a smile, pleasant demeanor and caring heart in a variety of ways. By assisting with making Life simpler, I help families to reach the goals that they have for themselves, their pets and for their homes that meet and exceed expectations. I am college educated and have completed courses and training, with Certificates in the Child Care, Culinary Arts, Nursing and the Medical Care Industries. I have also enjoyed serving others as a Personal Chef and Caterer for over 30 years, as needed. I am Blessed to be a mother of five grown sons and a Memi' of six. When my boys were Toddlers, I operated an In-Home Daycare where I nurtured, loved and cared for children of all ages and abilities of local families. I provided before and after school care which included; nutritious meals, story time, a variety of learning opportunities which included, age appropriate games, arts, crafts, and on occasion, we'd take visits to the park, the playground, or take nature walks during each season of the year where we'd disovered a variety of treasures which included, many colored leaves, acorns, pinecones, worms, caterpillars, insects or other treasures. We would participate in daily outside play, kick ball and other fun adventures, as the weather permitted, which the children liked very much. After my Children started school, I worked, as needed, as a substitute teacher for private or public schools, as well as, I drove a school bus. I have also enjoyed serving as a Sunday School Teacher for Infants through Middle School-Aged Children. I am a non-smoker. I am a healthy, honest, caring, reliable and trustworthy woman who has excellent References and Letters of Recommendation. I am a good licensed driver with a 5+ Driving Score. How May I Serve You and Your Family?

Hi! I am a recent college graduate from JMU who is living in Harrisonburg and looking to help out families :) I have provided care for local families and those living closer to an hour away. I like working with kids because I like getting to experience lots of joyful, simplistic interactions and providing teaching moments. I love how working with kids is rewarding for everyone all around. I can allow a parent/caregiver to feel comfortable putting their children in reliable hands while I serve as a role model and engage in activities. I started working with kids my freshman year of high school. I have been working with kids for nine years. I have watched children from 20+ different families from ages 4 mos-11 years across various settings. I have experience watching children at my own home, parent/caregiver's home, church, hotels, and wedding venues. In addition, I've spent time substitute teaching for preschool-middle school classes. I am certified in CPR and first aid. In my spare time, I like to do anything outside such as going on long walks, playing spikeball and pickleball, and going hiking! I also love baking. My skills include patience, communication, and organization.
