Available for date night jobs (I LOVE repeat families!). Currently, I work as a full-time professional nanny for a sweet infant and I'm in nursing school, in the process of becoming a PICU RN, with the hope of eventually becoming a pediatric NP. 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.

My name is Brittany; I have been working with children/youth for over 10 years. Recently moved from NYC to Charlotte! My experience comes from being a former camp counselor with the Fresh Air Fund, St. Mary's Recreation Center, Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens; part-time/occasional babysitting; being a Youth Empowerment Coach—I supported youth ages 14-26 on their journey to success and thriving in life. I also have experience working in the Child Welfare system. I’m passionate about ensuring the safety and well-being of children; and supporting them through their development. When it comes to childcare, I love engaging with children in activities of their interest and watching their personalities shine! In 2018, I graduated with my BA in Psychology from Medgar Evers College and have taken courses in early childhood and adolescence development. With that knowledge, along with my upbringing, I became aware of the importance of a child's development (emotional, physical, mental and much more) being fostered in a healthy environment with positive adult figures in their life to help guide them. I enjoy being apart of that community helping to raise our children. I have experience working with children/ youth from all age groups (working wise, 3 months - 17 years). Now as a new mom myself, I also have personal experience. I wholeheartedly understand how important it is to find loving, trusting individuals to care for your children. If you are interested in having me work with your family or have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you,  Brittany

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!!

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 😊

Per Jax (5 year old)- She is a really good babysitter, book her! Thanks Karen!
