Booked by 1 family in Kenly, NC

Hi! My name is McKenzie, and I'm 19-year-old caregiver based in Clayton, NC. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including for the past two years working part-time at a daycare, where most of my time was spent caring for 6 week olds to 1 year olds. I have found the infants and ones are my favorite age to care for. Before that, I volunteered at the same daycare for 3 years and worked with children from infants to 5 years old, gaining hands on experience with children of different ages. I am CPR and First Aid certified for pediatric and adults, hold SIDS certification, and completed a year long internship at an elementary school, where I created lesson plans, supported classroom activities, and worked closely with students and teachers in a kindergarten classroom. I'm currently in college working toward becoming a Child Life Specialist, and I'm very passionate about creating a safe nurturing and engaging environment for children. I am patient, dependable and attentive with a love for caring for children. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, compassionate care for your children!

McKenzie was fantastic watching our little one. She’s so caring and our little one loves her. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with McKenzie again in the future!

Booked by 3 families in Kenly, NC

Hi! My name is Kiana and I am offering childcare, errands, pet care, and house sitting. I have 5 years of experience working with small children in various capacities. I am neat, clean and organized. I have experience caring for infants including new borns, and young children in daycare, middle school children at the Boys and Girls Club, Free Arts for Kids, and Crossroads for Kids. I also have experience working with people who have disabilities. Additionally, I have a background in Theatre and an MA in pedagogy from NYU. I am CPR Certified and have a reliable car. I am also open to discussing other services. Thanks!

Kiana was the best! I won’t recommend her to anyone else, but that’s because I want her to ourselves 😅 lol JK. Absolutely would recommend her to anyone with small children. She was amazing with our zoo of 4 young ones. You would’ve thought she was part of the family after 15 minutes at the house. She was extremely responsive before and during our time together, and she was even flexible with our schedule for the night when plans changed. Can’t say enough good about her. I’m an extremely watchful and protective father and I never felt for a second that the kids weren’t good with her, and I can’t explain how valuable that is to me 🙏🏽 ♥️ Will 100% use her again, as long as we didn’t scare her off 😅

I currently work with a family Monday-Friday. I’m open to super part-time, occasional babysitting, weekends, date nights, etc. Every person/child/animal is different so I would appreciate a run down of their routine and what sitting them would entail. I’m super open minded and open to what your kids like to do and what you want us to do. If needed, I’d be able to cook, clean, transport, and/or tutor (I also pet sit/walk, and clean fyi.) I have experience with children of all ages, mostly with kids under the age of 10 (especially infants and toddlers.) I am a huge art, music, nature and animal lover. If you want your children to have a fun time, I’m your girl! I love to dance, sing, paint, color, play outside, swim, watch movies, read, write, etc. A little extra info: I mostly grew up in the Garner/Raleigh area. I graduated from Garner Magnet High School as Suma Cum Laude in 2019. At Garner, I was a part of many different clubs, leadership/fun activities/opportunities, along with soccer and cross country. I attended Kent State University for a semester right after high school and then transferred to Wake Technical Community College. I’m slowly but surely working towards and childcare and human development degree through WTCC and eventually UNCG.

Carlee was amazing with our almost 5 year old, he had a great time!

Kristine $18 per hour for 1 child

I have provided child care before, during and after graduating from Meredith College, I stayed home and homeschooled my own 2 children who are now 16.5, daughter, and 22, son. My daughter would love to come with me and play and snuggle too. When my children were young, I cared for several single Moms' kids and a couple of other families. As they grew older, I found a data entry job and real estate from home. I miss having time with little ones and would love to provide occasional care for others. I am a former lifeguard and have had my CPR recertified a few times over the years that included infants as well. My daughter and I also provided senior care to my 2 parents for the last 3+ years. I can provide transportation to shops, take out to lunch, provide activities, and accompany them to Dr appointments. I know how hard it is to find people one can trust and would love to help others after being blessed with having found amazing help. References are available!
