My name is Kassie E. I bring over nine years of paid professional childcare experience, along with a strong background in daycare management, school-based support, and in-home nannying. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with families, daycare centers, and school systems to provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to each child’s individual needs. My experience includes management roles within daycare settings, where I supported daily operations, staff coordination, and policy compliance. I have also supported children within Virginia Beach City Public Schools and Norfolk City Public Schools, assisting in classroom environments and reinforcing positive behavior, routines, and learning support. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children with special needs both in school systems and private home settings. This experience is supported by my studies in special needs education and continued education in child psychology, allowing me to approach care with patience, understanding, and adaptability. I have also been involved with the military’s Child and Youth (CYP/CCYH) program, providing care in structured, developmentally appropriate environments. I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications, have completed required state childcare trainings, and am MAT certified. I take pride in being a positive role model who prioritizes safety, clear communication with families, and fostering children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my experience, professionalism, and passion for childcare to your team. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your program. Sincerely, Kassie Emery

Hi families! My name is Elena, and I am an elementary education major at Virginia Tech with over five years of dedicated childcare experience across all age groups. My background combines structured teaching with energetic, hands-on care. I gained valuable classroom experience as a student educator at the local Child Development Center for Learning and Research (CDCLR), where I supported early childhood learning and development. Most recently, I spent this past summer as a full-time nanny caring for a fantastic family of three children ages 8, 10, and 12. Prior to nannying, I spent two years as a swim instructor working with children ages 2 to 12 at a swim school, and served as a swim coach for kids ages 5 to 12 from 2021 to 2023. Between my teaching background and my aquatic safety experience, safety, active engagement, and positive encouragement are always my top priorities. I would love to connect and see how I can support your family with reliable babysitting!

Hello! my name is Kailien. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, I worked in after-school daycare for elementary school aged kids for 3 and half years from high-school into college, and I have experience as a regular nanny for a family I was with for 2 years. I have also taken a number of child education courses in my college education. I would consider myself patient, creative, and very hands on with children. I enjoy outdoor sports, puzzles, and educational games, as I prioritize anything that is active or imaginative play. I regularly get CPR trained to keep my certification up to date, and and I am proficient in American Sign Language. I am comfortable caring for up to 5 children, from ages 6 months - 12+. I am happy to help with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your family's daily life.

I am a Regent Law students staying with friends over the summer. I start law school in the fall and my goal is to become a constitutional and juvenile defense lawyer. I have worked with kids for three years as a swim instructor and lifeguard at the YMCA. I taught from three years old to eighteen years old. I also was a nanny for a family friend’s four children who were 4-12 years old. I watched them and helped them with homework when their mom would run errands or need time off. Last summer I served in Philadelphia with a church ministry, as a youth mentor and coach from after school programs to sports and youth retreats.
