Booked by 8 families in Monroe, NC

I have been a sitter for over 20 years, and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in developmental psychology. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, and am comfortable working with larger families and children with special needs. Working with children is something about which I am passionate and which I feel a calling to pursue. As a sitter I strive to strike a balance between energetic play and calm structure. I see my job as having 3 primary duties. Most importantly, keeping the children that I am watching safe. Next, maintaining the house rules and routine, so that children have a sense of stability when their parents are gone. Finally, I want to engage with the kids I am watching and help them have fun- I want "having a sitter" to be a positive experience, something to which they look forward! Beyond sitting I've participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters and I have taught both martial arts and Sunday school classes for the last 20+ years (typically PK-3rd). I'm CPR and first aid certified, a non-smoker, and fully vaccinated. I’ve been blessed to work with many great families, and I am happy to provide references. Please reach out if you have questions- I am happy to chat. All the best!

Incredibly kind and professional. Truly helped us new parents have a few hours for a date night. Very grateful for taking care of our little one!!

Hi! My name is Tracy. I was a stay-at-home mom to raise my 3 kids until they started school, now I care for my twin granddaughters when they aren't in school while their parents work. I am also the Co-Director of Stanly County Special Olympics. I care for all kids as if they are my own.

Hi, I'm McKenna! I am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work with a focus on early childhood mental health, and I am passionate about providing a warm and supportive environment to your home. I offer part-time, nanny share, household, and pet care services. With 10 years of experience caring for children ages 0–18 in both home and professional settings, I am dedicated to creating safe, structured environments where every child feels supported and inspired. My approach centers on building nurturing routines that encourage children to explore their interests and develop their individual strengths. I have experience managing a summer day camp program serving 50+ campers per week, and I have worked as an in-home aide for children with special needs, supporting goal development and daily living skills. I would love to be a dependable, enriching presence for your family
