Hi, My name is Char’Netha and I’m currently a Virginia Commonwealth University college student. I’m currently applying to dental schools this cycle. I am offering child care and pet care. I have experience mentoring and caring for young girls through Girl Scouts, where I helped lead activities, build confidence, and keep things organized and fun. I also have pet care experience. I currently have a mini Goldendoodle and previously cared for my Yorkie for several years. I’m comfortable walking, feeding, and playing with pets. I can also assist with light household tasks like tidying up, organizing, and running errands. I’m friendly, dependable, and love helping families feel supported and at ease.

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’m a sophomore at VCU majoring in sculpture. I’m offering childcare, senior care, household services. I love kids and have been babysitting since I was 16.

Taylor Richmond
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Taylor, I just moved to Richmond this August and I am the Nanny for a 15-month-old Mon-Fri 10-3, except Tuesdays are 10-6. We do developmentally appropriate activities like practice using crayons, running/walking in the grass, and more! Before moving, I worked for a family babysitting their toddler son. I would take him to the park and the library, have reading and play time, and help with his fine motor skills as he is learning to walk. I also help with some cleaning like emptying/ filling dishwasher, cleaning countertops, sweeping, taking out trash, etc. I have worked in two learning centers/ daycares, so I have experience in all classes aged infant to school age. I would love to answer any questions you have for me!
