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 😊!
Hi, I’m Betsy. I am offering occasional child care and pet sitting in the neighborhood. I love being a babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 12 years old. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I have also watched dogs and cats in the neighborhood.
Hi! I have my medical degree (MD) and am currently psychiatry resident physician. I’m experienced and comfortable caring for children and seniors who may have medical conditions or developmental differences. I always prioritize safety and open communication. I love being a sitter and have been working with kids of all ages for the past 8 years. I enjoy initiating activities, encouraging creativity, and helping kids feel comfortable and excited to learn and play. Available for date nights, weekend coverage, and backup childcare!
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.
