Cassidy Raleigh
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Cassidy, a college student at NC State going into my junior year studying Nutritional Science and Business Administration on the pre-med track. I have been babysitting on and off for about four years, with most of my experience focused on kids ages 3 to 7. I also volunteer every Sunday at my church where I have cared for children ages 2 to 9 for the past three years. In addition to childcare, I have shadowed at multiple doctors’ offices and currently spend my semesters shadowing pediatric and family medicine doctors at UNC’s North Chatham Pediatrics & Internal Medicine. Through these experiences, I have gained hands-on exposure to patient care, including knowledge and experience in wound care and CPR. I love working with kids and feel confident handling a wide range of situations with patience and empathy. I also have experience caring for smaller dogs. I enjoy going on walks with them, playing, and making sure they are well fed. Additionally, I love talking to and helping seniors and have experience in senior patient care through my shadowing, as many of the patients I have seen have been older adults. When I’m not studying or working, I enjoy baking, working out, and going for runs. I’m friendly, energetic, and happy to help with playtime, homework, arts and crafts, or whatever your family needs. I’d love to meet your kids, pets, or seniors and help out whenever you need!
