Hi, I’m Avery! I am 26 and live in Richmond. I work as a preschool after teacher and am looking to make some more money! I am new to the city - I lived in NYC for 3 years post-grad, working in media/advertising. I grew up babysitting and had summer camps in my backyard growing up. I would be thrilled to babysit your kids and make sure they have the best time with crafts, reading stories, whatever is fun for them.
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, 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.
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!
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. I'm not allergic to any cats or dogs, so I'm very open with working with them too!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
