A little bit about us…

Hi all! We are looking for a family to join a nanny share in the Northside for 2 or more days a week.

About us: My son is an active 2 year old and loves spending time outside, reading, and baking. He had a major medical diagnosis last year and has been unable to be around a lot of kids so we are eager for him to have the opportunity for more socialization.

Our wonderful nanny has been with us since our son was six months old and loves to take him on adventures.

Ideally we would like to find:
- a kiddo between 2-3 or at least on a one nap schedule
- open to sharing hosting responsibilities
- sensitive about keeping your little one home when sick because our son and nanny are immunocompromised
- Willing to have the kiddos enjoy hikes and classes

Additional info:
-$30/hr split between families plus PTO, paid holidays, and sick time
- minimum of 2 days, but flexible between 8:45 and 5pm M-Th
- our son starts preschool in September and will be attending until 1pm so we would love to make a commitment through August but would also be open to an arrangement extending into the fall if there is interest.
- We are located near the Smoky Mug and would love to find a family close by.

My child is 4 years old. He loves dinosaurs and race tracks. He goes to school at 7:45 am and usually gets out of aftercare at 4:45pm. On days where there is no after care he will get out of school at 2:15 pm. I may be taking a job that requires me to be at work at 4 am and need someone to take my child to school and possibly pick him up on days where I may be required to stay late.

A little bit about us…

We are on a list for daycare that was supposed to have us starting right after maternity leave ends (September). However, now they have pushed us back to at least 2024. We are looking for a sitter or nanny share between September and when daycare room opens. My husband and I work a hybrid model and are hoping to find a sitter who can come to our house. Ideally Monday-Friday 9-4:30ish. We also have 2 golden retrievers who are very friendly. Our son was born end of April so he is just a month or so old right now! By then he will be 5 months or so old.

A little bit about us…

I am a teacher, and I have a daughter who will be 2 in May and a second child due in August. Starting around October, we will need care from 8am to about 3pm. My husband is a graduate student at VCU who works at home most days. We live in the Three Chopt area of Richmond, and we are looking for a family to nanny share. We can have care at our house or yours. We have a cockapoo puppy who spends most days in the office with dad. Our daughter is a bright and active toddler, and we're looking to nanny share with a family who has at least one child of a similar age (0-3 years old). She is in a daycare center for now, but we're looking for more affordable options when the new baby arrives. My husband and I are both fully vaccinated and boosted, and we're looking for a family and nanny that have similar covid safety standards. Please reach out if you are interested!

A little bit about us…

Date night sitter needed twice a month or more (every time would be told in advance) consisting of a shift of 7:30-2AM or 5-12PM.

We have a 4 year old daughter, who is rambunctious and inquisitive and an 18 month old son who is a cry baby cuddle bug! Bed time is 8. Both sleep fairly well but my son will look for me eventually but is easy to put back down. We also have a dog but he will be in his crate upon your arrival. Hes 8 pounds and not so good with new people so we prefer to limit contact.

Need to be CPR/First aid certified but we are also willing to pay for training if you’re interested in signing a contract with our family. We’d need references and are open to everyone 🌈
