Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been a nanny for 8 years, during which I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. My background in healthcare, having studied at Carolina College of Health Sciences, has given me a deeper understanding of children’s health and well-being. I’ve also worked in a pharmacy, which enhanced my attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to manage care routines effectively. Throughout my nanny career, I’ve been committed to providing exceptional care, ensuring that children feel safe, supported, and stimulated. I engage children in educational activities, including early language skills like teaching Spanish, reading, and sensory play. I also enjoy planning outdoor outings and ensuring they have a balanced daily routine with meals, naps, and interactive play. My experience working with diverse families and special needs children has allowed me to develop patience, empathy, and strong communication skills. These qualities, combined with my medical background, make me a compassionate and capable caregiver.

Booked by 1 family in Stanley, NC

Hi - My name is Angelo and I'm offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I love being a father to my 6-year-old son and enjoy the opportunities that I get to spend with him and his classroom of friends. I have been a caretaker for my grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks that are needed around the house.

Victoria $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria and I'm a patient, responsible, and experienced caregiver offering child care, pet sitting, and household help. My journey began as an older sister caring for my younger siblings and their friends from the age of 13. I'm currently the devoted "auntie" to four children (ages 3–5) whom I regularly babysit and spend social time with, keeping me current on the unique needs and energy of the preschool age group. My care philosophy is based on being an attentive, reliable, and warm presence—someone who can follow a routine while also inventing fun, spontaneous activities. My caregiving extends to animals! I'm an experienced dog-sitter, acting as an "auntie" to three dogs for extended periods when their families travel. I'm comfortable with all aspects of dog care, including feeding, walking, and maintaining their schedules. I'm also happy to assist with household help, such as cleaning or running errands, to support your family's needs. I am an adaptable, calm, and proactive caregiver who truly enjoys nurturing and supporting those in my care.

Elizabeth 1 review
$16 per hour for 1 child

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.

Miasol $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Miasol! I'm the second eldest in a family of 4 wild, homeschooled kids who I helped care for in my childhood. Over the past 13 years, I've been hired by 20+ families to care for babies (independent sleep transition, eating solids transition, motor development, speech development, nap routines) as well as elementary age and preteen children (Nighttime routines, morning/after school care, tidying, transportation, cooking meals, and special needs). For a similar period, I've also taught music to children ages 4+. My nannying style values patience, keeping consistent boundaries for mental and physical wellbeing, and encouraging creative play (I energetically partake- Some children have kindly referred to me as Mary Poppins!). My passion is to help kids grow healthily and happily, and I have done so for over 75 in my time teaching and providing childcare. I'm a UNC Chapel Hill graduate who teaches music for Providence Day School in the afternoons, looking for a morning job!
