I started babysitting for my neighbors when I was 11 years old. I babysat for two families; the first had a 7-year-old and a newborn. The second family had three children, the youngest was an infant when I first started sitting for them. Not only did I watch the kids, I also typically cooked and served meals, cleaned the play areas and kitchen, and watched the dog. Fast forward, I'm now the mom of two adult "children," both fully launched and doing well. I'm looking to fill some time and make some extra income, either by babysitting or og walking/sitting. Additionally, I'm great at interior design. I can help you organize your home, prepare for a move, or utilize your existing furniture for a makeover (hourly rate for design work is $50. I can help in the yard or garden, too.

Hello! I have been babysitting since I was 13. During high school I was a regular caretaker for a 6 and 8 year old and their puppy. It was a joy to watch them grow over the course of a few years. I also had many other less committal gigs with kids ranging from infant to middle school. One example of a regular job was caring for a family of a 2,4 and 6 year old (and getting them all to bed!). Through out college I picked up some gigs here and there. One summer after college I ran a 2 week nature based day camp for 3-5 year-olds. I love witnessing the creativity and wisdom of children and understand the most important thing is encouraging them to be their true selves and making sure they’re safe and at ease. I work as a gardener. I am also an artist. I have a cat Lillie and have been a professional dog walker and care taker for years. So I am happy to help with any animal support! I also love to cook and bake, so it would be a joy to help feed your kiddos. Bonus : I genuinely love to clean, so put me to the task! Happy to help out in any way.

I am a student teacher’s assistant for general chemistry at UVA and an in-home caregiver for dementia patients. Pet care is also included in my job as an in-home caregiver as I currently help take care of two cats. At home I have a fish tank and in the past I have kept birds and a rabbit, as well as hermit crabs. I am very patient, responsible, and I relate to people of all ages very well.

Hi! My name is Theresa, and I’m a biomedical engineering student at the University of Virginia and a member of the UVA track and field team. As a student-athlete, I’ve learned the importance of responsibility, organization, patience, and maintaining a positive attitude. I have experience helping care for children of various ages, assisting with homework, preparing meals and snacks, keeping children engaged in activities, and helping maintain a clean and organized environment. I also have experience caring for pets and assisting with household tasks, including laundry, dishes, light cleaning, organizing, and running errands.

Whether your family needs an occasional sitter, a regular caregiver, or extra help around the house, I would love the opportunity to help!
