"Rickia truly goes above and beyond as she is naturally a self-starter. She uplifts and encourages me during challenging times and provides afternoons of laughter and fun for my 18-month-old. Her reliability, compassion, and attentiveness shine in every interaction. Whether she’s offering a listening ear, stepping in to help without being asked, or engaging with my child in creative and nurturing ways, Rickia demonstrates a rare combination of kindness, initiative, and integrity.
I wholeheartedly recommend her for any opportunity that calls for dedication, empathy, and a positive spirit. Anyone would be lucky to have Rickia in their corner."

A little bit about me
If you’re in search of a reliable, trustworthy, patient, and loving person to look after your precious kids, look no further! Hi parents, my name is Salema, I'm 24 years old, and I'm a Virginia native located in Bon Air, about 20 minutes outside the city of Richmond.
I have a little over 9 years of total childcare experience under my belt, caring for children as young as a few months and as old as 12 years, with both single and multiple children, and children with special needs. And if animals are involved, I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and even horses and goats. I’ve also been trained + certified in CPR/first aid.
When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and with my two dogs, swimming, and weekly horseback riding. I'm even a self taught photographer and I groom dogs. As an animal lover, if you happen to have furry babies also, I'd love to meet them!

A little bit about me
Hey there! A bit about me.. I’m 21 and live in the Richmond area! In my free time I love to drive and just jam to music, spend time with my family and friends, during summer I enjoy spending time at my family’s lake house.. to name just a few! People would describe me as reliable, honest, trustworthy, loving, patient, compassionate! As far as my experience working with kids I started out working at preschools and daycares mostly with ages 6m-3y. Then looked into nannying after reading about it online! After finding my first nannying position i was hooked! With nannying I love to go out and do fun activities, stay at home and play with their toys or think of a fun activity at home to do, meal prep, bottle feeding, sleep training, light house work, help with potty training, doing nap time if needed! In past I’ve nannied for a 2 year old and currently I nanny a 9 yo and 3 yo with special needs! Unfortunately I just moved and the drive from my home to their home is no longer doable!
