Hi, My name is Char’Netha and I’m currently a Virginia Commonwealth University college student. I’m currently applying to dental schools this cycle. I am offering child care and pet care. I have experience mentoring and caring for young girls through Girl Scouts, where I helped lead activities, build confidence, and keep things organized and fun. I also have pet care experience. I currently have a mini Goldendoodle and previously cared for my Yorkie for several years. I’m comfortable walking, feeding, and playing with pets. I can also assist with light household tasks like tidying up, organizing, and running errands. I’m friendly, dependable, and love helping families feel supported and at ease.
Hi. My name is Cheverly. I enjoy one-on-one, creative and positive influential engagement with youngsters of all ages. I taught a minors' Sunday School class as well as did babysitting for the neighbor's middle school kids. I have been trained in Emergency Response, First Aid, and CPR. I am available on weekends as well as week nights. I have also provided caregiving services for my own family and can cook and clean as well. I own my own car.
Hello, my name is Bree! I am 26 years old and I currently work at VSU and I am also a youth mentor. I graduated from VCU in 2020 with degrees in Criminal Justice and Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness. I have always worked with children since babysitting for various families while in highschool/college and also throughout my career as a substitute teacher, student support specialist, youth mentor, and a basketball/lacrosse coach. My certifications include: Youth Mental Health First Aid, CPR/AED/First Aid, Trauma Informed Care, and Mandated Reporting. I have experience working with children ages 0-18, but my preference is 0-7. I love working with children, and I can’t wait to meet yours!
Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’m a sophomore at VCU majoring in sculpture. I’m offering childcare, senior care, household services. I love kids and have been babysitting since I was 16. I’ve sat kids from 3 years old to 9, siblings, and for large groups of kids at parties. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I have helped my grandparents with tasks like getting to appointments and tidying living spaces so I’m comfortable with senior care. I also enjoy a good board game! I love animals and have my entire life’s worth of experience caring for pets including cats, dogs, fish, hedgehogs, and bunnies.
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!
