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!

Booked by 1 family in 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!”
