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!

Taylor $18 per hour for 1 child

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!
