I’m an experienced nanny who spent 5 years as an au pair in France. Before that I was a camp counselor in the US and babysitter as a teenager. In college I participated in high school youth mentoring programs. I speak English, French, and some Russian. I play piano and violin, paint, knit, love reading, swimming, being outdoors, and getting to know kids of all ages. Important: I do not drive, so walkability is a must / transportation.

Hi! My name is Charlotte and I am a sophomore at JMU. I am a health science major in the honors college and I love kids! I am looking for babysitting/nanny opportunities for kids of all ages and I would love to help out where I can! A little about me, I have a big family, I love to workout and be active, do puzzles, and spend time with friends and family. I have had about eight years of babysitting experience with kids from ages newborn to around 12 years old. I have a six-year-old niece and three-year-old nephew, so aside from other babysitting experience l have lots of personal experience with changing diapers, feeding, etc., as well as simply playing with and entertaining! Some of my favorite things to do with kids when I'm babysitting are doing arts and crafts, playing games, baking, and so much more! Being a student, I have a pretty flexible schedule, so whether you need a date night sitter, nanny, after school help, or occasional coverage, I would love to chat and see if I would be a good fit for your family!
