Jessie $16 per hour for 1 child
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.
Johanna $16 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Johanna and I'm currently in school for Nursing. I am offering pet care and childcare. I love to babysit and I've been babysitting since I was 17! I've babysat toddlers and preschoolers, I'm also really open to any requirements the parents have for me when babysitting.

Booked by 1 family in Sandston, VA
Hi, I’m Christina, I have experience babysitting kids of different ages and I’m comfortable handling things like meals, homework, and bedtime routines. I try to keep kids engaged without just putting them in front of a screen, and I’m good at staying calm and patient if things get hectic. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and take safety seriously. I’m also happy to help out with small tasks around the house if needed.
Taylor $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!

Booked by 1 family in Sandston, VA
Hi! I’m Haley. I have lived in Richmond for almost 5 years and am a Virginia Beach native. I have been a babysitter for over 15 years. I also provide dog care in home and walks as well! At this time, I am only available for dog sitting and babysitting. I am not available for full or part time nanny opportunities.
“Haley is a wonderful pet sitter, she has a ton of animal experience from small to large animals and always does a great job caring for our two pups, one who is a senior dog. She is reliable, communicative and our dogs absolutely love her. Would recommend her house and pet sitting services to anyone!”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
