Booked by 1 family in Petersburg, 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.
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. I'm not allergic to any cats or dogs, so I'm very open with working with them too!
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!
