Drawing from over a decade of rich and varied caregiving experience, I am well-equipped to provide your child with the care and support they need. Having served as a dedicated nanny, babysitter, educator, and mental health professional, I've cultivated a deep understanding of child development. I have both personal and professional experience supporting children of all ages and neurotypes, including those with Autism, ADHD, mental health challenges, and other developmental and learning differences. I believe in meeting a child where they're at in any given moment, and holding space for them to have big feelings. No matter the age, I want to nurture your child's curiosity, creativity, and confidence as they grow through these very special and formative years. Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me, and I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful family.

I am currently provider as well as a behavioral instructor for children with autism. I absolutely adore working with kids, and hope to make a positive and lasting impact on each kiddo I work with.

I've taken care of small - medium dogs since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and clean after their pups!

I previously worked with kids in high school, I did casual babysitting as well as interned for an infant center for two years.

As a private/personal chef with 12 years of combined foodservice management & culinary teaching experience ranging from residential estates to private & public educational institutions, I have worked extensively with families, elderly & children. I have an uncompromising commitment to offering exceptional service with joy & integrity. I'm fun-loving, energetic, compassionate, highly resourceful, detailed & organized. My husband & I are fairly new to the state & the Virginia Beach area. Building up my business as a private chef in my new community will take some time. I'd like to open up my income earning opportunities beyond just cooking & help lighten the load for busy families & their loved ones. My full range of services include: -Senior care/companion -Driving to/from appointments -Cooking/clean-up -Meal planning/grocery shopping

I'd describe my personality as patient, honest and caring. I like working with kids because I love their unique personalities. I started working with kids when I was a teenager as a part time babysitter. When I was in college in my early twenties, I was a travel nanny. More recently, I watched a 3-month-old until he was 9 months old. I also am a mother of two boys ages 11 and 9 years old. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family including my two dogs. We love going to the beach and camping. One thing you should know about me is I will always make it a top priority that your children feel safe and comfortable with me.

I love tutoring because I enjoy helping students learn the process of essay writing and understanding how to effectively communicate their words and ideas. I started tutoring when I was 22 years old and I am currently helping students at a college.

I am a grad student working towards a masters in marriage and family therapy. I'm looking for part time work to support myself while finishing up school. Providing kids and adults alike with a supportive, trusting, safe environment is a big reason I am drawn to becoming a therapist. I have experience working with kids of all ages, and kids and adults with physical and mental disabilities. I love to cook, help out around the house, engage in projects, conversation, games and play. I am confident in my ability to model emotional regulation and pro social skills for children and make lasting connections with adults I care for. I look forward to chatting about what you are looking for in a caretaker! I'd describe my personality as thoughtful, compassionate and creative. I like working with kids because they have a curious minds and refreshing takes on the world. I am also a goofball so I love being around children because they are not afraid to be playful and silly.

My skills include communicating with owners, walking pets, and lots of care and scratches for your pets.

I have been watching pets ever since and currently have two cats of my own. My pets are my babies and I am very passionate about pet care and providing the best for all animals while their owners are away. I know how valuable it is to ensure your Pet/Animals are cared for and I am dedicated to making sure they feel comfortable and happy!
