Booked by 1 family in University Of Richmond, VA
Hi! I’m Haley. I have lived in Richmond for almost 5 years and am a Virginia Beach native. I have been a babysitter for over 15 years. I also provide dog care in home and walks as well! At this time, I am only available for dog sitting and babysitting. I am not available for full or part time nanny opportunities.
“Haley is a wonderful pet sitter, she has a ton of animal experience from small to large animals and always does a great job caring for our two pups, one who is a senior dog. She is reliable, communicative and our dogs absolutely love her. Would recommend her house and pet sitting services to anyone!”

Hi! My name is Abby and I am 26 years old. I am offering childcare and household services for those in the RVA area. I have 10+ years experience with babysitting with a wide range of ages and have a 20 month old nephew who I watch frequently. During the Covid summer I nannied full time (twin boys) and thoroughly enjoyed it. My responsibilities have included driving to and from activities, cooking, helping with errands, cleaning, and even swim lessons. I’m a former collegiate athlete and now work full time but looking to pick up some extra work on the side as I am recently engaged 😊!
