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.
Hi, My name is Aani! currently a 3rd year student at the University of Virginia, but I am from the dmv area! I am a fun and flexible person who still always puts safety first. I have years of childcare experience, from being a babysitter, a counselor at sports camps, recreational coaching, being a Sr. summer camp counselor at the YMCA, and currently a lead after school care counselor of the after school program at my local elementary school.
I’m a recent graduate from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience. I’m an energetic and compassionate sitter who loves to create fun, nurturing and safe environments for kids. While new to professional childcare, I have years of experience babysitting with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I’m currently taking evening classes to become a certified medical assistant, and in my free time I enjoy cycling and kayaking. Please reach out if you would like to schedule a call!
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. Families describe me as dependable, energetic, kind, and attentive. My goal is always to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether your family needs an occasional sitter, a regular caregiver, or extra help around the house, I would love the opportunity to help!
