Meet college nannies and sitters from Virginia Commonwealth University

Hi! My name is Jessie, and I'm an incoming Dance Major at VCU. My offered services are babysitting, pet sitting, house sitting, and household assistance. Over the past 5 years, I've gained experience as a dance teacher's assistant for 6-14-year-olds, and I have also babysat children and pets of varying ages on an as-needed basis. Tasks have included assisting with cooking, cleaning, and transporting them to their extracurriculars. I'm also a strong team player, so if help is needed around the home, I'm happy to assist.

Hi! My name is Joy, and I’m 23 years old. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, starting with helping raise my younger siblings and growing into years of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. My experience includes homework help, tutoring, crafts, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged with activities they enjoy. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your children, and I always strive to treat every family with kindness, respect, and reliability. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide care you can feel confident about.

Hello, my name is Bree! I am 26 years old and I currently work at VSU and I am also a youth mentor. I graduated from VCU in 2020 with degrees in Criminal Justice and Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness. I have always worked with children since babysitting for various families while in highschool/college and also throughout my career as a substitute teacher, student support specialist, youth mentor, and a basketball/lacrosse coach. My certifications include: Youth Mental Health First Aid, CPR/AED/First Aid, Trauma Informed Care, and Mandated Reporting. I have experience working with children ages 0-18, but my preference is 0-7. I love working with children, and I can’t wait to meet yours!

Hi, im Mike, your new babysitter! During the week, I work with kids, but I'm ready to bring that magic to your front doorstep. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, a night out, or even a last minute call-in, i'm your guy. Even when it seems like I might not have the time, my schedule is made to prioritize your home, your children, your pets, and most importantly: YOU. I usually work with kids aged 5-12, but I've never been known to shy away from working with new ages. So as long as you'd tell me everything I should know, I can get the job done. No kids, no problem! If you need a pet sitter, house sitter, or just a clean house then im still the right call to make. I'm experienced with pets, and know my way around a broom. So what are you waiting for? You need time for you, and I'm ready to give you peace of mind.

Hi, I'm Nairobi, and I'm a Psychology Bachelor’s student in my sophomore year. I love to sing, dance, do crafts, theatre, bake, build Legos, and be of service to others. I have been babysitting for individual children for almost 4 years and have done group babysitting multiple times. In addition to babysitting, I have done internships in elementary school and daycare. I have worked with babies and children from 6 months to 6 years old and have also been a short-term youth camp leader for preteens. I am comfortable babysitting up to two children, arts and crafts, outdoor games, meal preparation/bottle feeding, diaper changes, reading, nap/bedtime, light housekeeping, Richmond events, and museum/indoors play spaces in the area. I have a seafood allergy, so I can't be around seafood. I am also CPR/First Aid/AED Certified and completed an Advanced Child Care Training course through the American Red Cross. I also started my job as a behavioral therapist/technician with children in ABA therapy at the start of the summer. I'm mainly available on Saturdays between 8:00 am to 9:30 pm. If there are no changes to my schedule, I am available on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 12:30 pm- 7:00 pm and 3:30 pm- 9:00 pm on Wednesdays and Fridays. I don't have a car, so I would have to walk or use public transit with your child (if you are comfortable). I’m excited to create a fun and safe environment for your little ones!
