My name is Wendy, and I bring over 25 years of experience as a licensed, 4‑star family childcare provider in Durham. I’ve cared for children from 3 weeks to 12 years old and have extensive training in early childhood development, infant/toddler care, and child care administration. I’m reliable, patient, and safety‑focused, and I work hard to create a warm, structured, and engaging environment for every child. Families describe me as nurturing, dependable, and easy to communicate with. I truly love supporting children’s growth and helping parents feel confident and supported.
“Ms Wendy is very professional, looks after my daughter with care , she’s very polite and kind and I feel very comfortable her being my child’s caregiver and I recommend her to anyone who has children that have disability needs .”

Booked by 1 family in Apex, NC
Hi! I’m Alexandra, a Human Development and Family Studies major at UNCG with ECE credentials and daycare experience. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have cared for children of all ages from newborns to teens. I also cook, clean, run errands, and love pets (I have a German Shepherd named Zeus!).
“This was the first time we ever hired a babysitter to watch our 3yo and we were a little nervous about it but were so glad we did. Alexandra is such a sweetheart! We got updates during and our daughter seemed so content when we got home. We will definitely hire her again in the future. ”
Jennifer $24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Apex, NC
I have 15+ years of childcare experience with kids of all ages, from babies through teenagers, and I’m also a former foster parent. I’m CPR certified, dependable, patient, and comfortable jumping into whatever routine works best for your family. I love keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, or just hanging out and having fun together. I’m comfortable around all kinds of animals and am happy to help with pets while I’m there. Most importantly, I want kids to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—and parents to feel confident knowing their kids are in good hands. Hobbies include music, hiking, crafts, hanging with my dog, reading, and trying to pay off some recent medical bills ;)
