Wendy 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hillsborough, NC

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 .”

Chioma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Chioma and I'm a QPH Evaluator at Medicaid. I am offering child care, senior care, some pet care (minimal experience with this but open to learning) and household services. My entire career has been devoted to providing care to people in different areas of their lives whether it be through healthcare, companionship or offering resources for people to feel cared and loved. I love being a caregiver and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 19 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring etc. I have 4 years of experience working at schools as a childcare supervisor and after care attendant, so trust me when I say your kids are safe with me :) I also work as a Certified Nursing Assistant so I have the skillset of helping clients with ADLs which include household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandmother and am very comfortable with senior care being a CNA. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am happy to work with families with dogs and cats.

Lots of experience taking care of cats and dogs. I have pets of my own and have looked after neighborhood animals for many years. I am responsible and caring and would love to take care of your fur babies so you can relax and enjoy some time away.

“Did everything that was needed- took great care of my pets and sent pictures of their happy faces, which I loved seeing.”

Jennifer $24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hillsborough, 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 ;)
