Hello! Thank you for taking the time to find out a little about me, a caregiver in the Richmond area. Most of my experience as a nanny has been while providing before school morning care (10+ years) and throughout my experience working in child care, I have also been regularly providing care for families in the evenings on an as needed basis for their date nights, social events, work dinners and such. I have a clear criminal and drug background check and am a non-smoker. I have my own reliable transportation with current TDL and insurance. Up-to-date on flu shot, Tdap, MMR, COVID vaccines. References and background check available upon request after phone or in person interview and mutual interest. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you!

Sophie $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophie and I’m a senior in high school with a few years of babysitting experience, starting my freshman year caring for children of family friends and teachers. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages, from infants as young as 9 months old to teens up to 13, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m very hands-on and love keeping kids engaged, active, and having fun!! Whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or coming up with creative activities. I always try to create a positive and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and excited to spend time together. I’m responsible, dependable, and patient, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their kids with someone they trust. I’m also good at balancing fun with structure, making sure routines, rules, and any instructions you leave are followed. Overall, I genuinely enjoy working with kids and building connections with them, and I always aim to make babysitting a fun and positive experience for everyone! Please reach out!

Harmony $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Harmony, and I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring college student with a strong passion for working with children. I have several years of experience caring for kids in different settings, including youth programs, camps, babysitting, and coaching. I love planning creative activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and games that keep kids active and entertained. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on creating a positive and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and included. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, supervising playtime, or encouraging kids to try new things, I strive to make every experience enjoyable and meaningful.

I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your child!
