Booked by 45 families in Mount Holly, NC

Hello Parents! My name is Karen, and I am from Mexico. I am currently attending nursing school. I am an experienced caregiver who enjoys spending time with kids. I believe in being respectful, responsible, creative, friendly, playful, energetic, affectionate, patient, and kind when it comes to taking care of children. I have taken care of children of all ages and types, but I'm especially experienced with infants and toddlers. I believe that learning should be fun, so I always try to come up with creative and engaging activities that keep kids entertained while also teaching them something new. I am fully qualified to take care of infants, and I have received training in Basic Life Support from the American Heart Association and in Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid from the American Safety & Health Institute. • I'm currently available for date nights and occasional jobs. If you have any questions or would like to know more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be happy to chat with you. ★ » I do have a 4hr minimum though I don’t have to be physically present for all 4hrs. This is because I plan my time around the hours booked. Thanks 😊

Hi, my name is Sharon - a Joy carrier and easy to work with. I have a lot of experience babysitting and I’ve worked with different companies like SitterTree, etc. I love children and the light and joy they bring to this world. I have worked with special needs children and it’s amazing and a blessing to work with them as well. I can also run errands, household duties and any work that needs to be done in the house. I also have some experience sitting elderly people - listening to wisdom is always key. God bless you ☺️
