Finding Childcare
W&M Child Care Listserv
The W&M’s Women's Network maintains a listserv of W&M students who are interested in providing childcare for W&M faculty, staff, students, and scholars.
To advertise a babysitting opportunity, send an email message with a description of your needs and your contact information to childcare@lists.wm.edu
As with any childcare opportunity, we urge you to ask the students for references and background information before you hire them. The university is providing this listserv as a means to connect possible babysitters with families and have not vetted the students on the list.
Payment for child care in your home
- Suggested payment: $10.00 to $25.00 an hour.
- Payment will be more for children under one year old
Questions to ask a potential babysitter or nanny
- How many years have you been working with children?
- How many families have you cared for and how old were the children?
- Do you know First Aid and CPR?
- How will you handle an emergency?
- How much will you charge?
