Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I started this fabulous new adventure just after retiring from an award winning career as an educator and assistant principal in May of 2024! Being able to give my complete undivided attention to connect and engage with only one to three children as opposed to 30 or more is a priceless opportunity, and for me a “fantastic gift to both the child and caregiver!” It’s this rewarding fact that convinces me that you and I would make a fantastic fit for your child! I’ve worked with children infants to school age for over 24 years. This all began at 12 years old, and because I became so impulse with parents of children from infant to elementary that I became a contract babysitter to ensure you had me when you needed! I work well with ALL I care for, this includes, the two legged and four legged family members! While working with HEAD START and for all staff from daycares obtaining accreditation for infants to school age I was a certified American Red Cross instructor CPR and First Aid and safety for all caregivers of infants to school age (elementary) While I taught for DODEA department of defense Education Activities and wrote and obtained my first grant creating a theater drama after school program at one school site and a visual arts after school program for another school site! While I received many awards from both the community and commanding general, the real reward for me was seeing children engage and thrive like never before. I believe that we can and should engage with children of all ages every way every day possible. This begins with infancy and the success and growth from this is seen on a daily basis. Let me show you first hand, how engaging with your child daily reaps life changing success and mindset!
“She is so engaged for those she's caring for, is why she remains so popular, so book early.”
Hi! I’m a recent biology graduate currently working in healthcare, with plans to pursue medical school in the future. Caring for others has always been important to me, which is one of the reasons I genuinely enjoy babysitting and spending time with kids. I have several years of experience caring for children through both paid babysitting and helping family and friends, and I’m comfortable working with kids of different ages. I love creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can have fun and feel supported. Whether that’s playing games, doing creative activities, reading, helping with homework, or getting ready for bedtime, I enjoy keeping children active and entertained while making sure they feel comfortable. My background in healthcare also means I’m very attentive, responsible, and focused on safety when caring for children. Families often describe me as dependable, patient, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently looking for occasional or weekend babysitting opportunities such as date nights or part-time help. I’d love to connect with families and provide reliable care you can feel confident about! Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or schedule a time to meet.
Available for date night, event, wedding and overnight jobs (I LOVE repeat families!). Right now I have wrapped up nannying for an infant. My pediatric RN program starts Aug 24th and I'm applying for my first hospital-based nursing jobs. Starting Mon, July 20th, looking for 4 hr+ bookings, but preferably full 8-9 hour days. From August 24th onwards I'll be available full days Mon, Tues, Wed and Fri. On Thursdays, due to my class schedule, I can work 8 AM - 12 PM. Quick heads up: I am not available for after school positions. Please use the "Ask a Question" function if you need a specific date/time and I don't show availability. Hi! I am a native Floridian who has lived all over the Eastern Seaboard. I have been taking care of children for 20 years, since I was a kid myself. With two decades of experience and a university education under my proverbial belt, I am firm about my rates and minimum of 4 hours. I was a classroom teacher too. + U.S. Citizen + Native English Speaker + MINI Cooper owner + Non-smoker + Strong Swimmer + Passport Holder + Pet-friendly + Allergy-friendly + Previously epiPen certified + Understands Kashrut dietary laws + CPR/First Aid Certified + High-functioning Autism + Speech impediments + Hearing/vision impairments General Policies: 1. Minimum booking is 4 hours or $100. 2. EARLY RETURNS: Because I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I ask to be paid for the entire booking, even if you come home early. 3. LATE RETURNS: I'm usually flexible on the end time of a booking, but please text/call me if you'll be late, especially if we have not discussed flexibility beforehand. 4. I reserve the right to collect the total amount owed and leave if children and/or parents are ill and the illness is not previously disclosed. I work for a number of children throughout the week and do not want to unnecessarily make them or my 91 year old grandmother, whom I visit frequently, needlessly sick. 5. One cancellation is okay from a family, but after two I may choose not to accept any more bookings from you. 6. I do not consent to being recorded in any manner outside of the typical camera aimed at a child's bed/crib. 7. I am totally open to working interviews. I reserve in person unpaid interviews for long-term positions only. 8. For families visiting Charlotte, I always look for cheap parking. An uber may be requested if that's the best option. 9. Major holidays = time and a half.
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 ☺️
“Sharon was so wonderful! We appreciate her and Gerald so much for coming to our home and making it spotless!”
