Hi! My name is Mary, and I have a lot of hands on experience caring for kids of all ages. I grew up with four younger siblings, so I’ve been helping take care of children my whole life. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 12, which has given me years of experience with both younger kids and older kids. I’ve worked as an aquatic camp youth instructor for 2 years now, where I was responsible for supervising children, keeping them safe, and making activities fun and engaging. I’m currently a part time nanny for a 22 month old boy, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, meals, playtime, and naps. I enjoy doing activities with kids like playing games, arts and crafts, going outside, reading, baking, cooking, and helping with homework when needed. I’m also happy to help with tutoring, basic cooking, and keeping kids on a routine. In addition to childcare, I love animals and have experience with pet sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable caring for different pets and helping with walking, feeding, and playtime. I’m also more than willing to help around the house with cleaning, organizing, laundry, or running errands, anything that helps make your day easier! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease.
I've worked at boys and girls club as a staff member and I was a school bus driver at HB boys and girls club. I also was a school bus driver for Durham school services for 3 yrs . I am in process of having my PSS. Which a peer support specialist where I help people. I'm really good with kids I always respect them and treat them as an equal and I do not talk down to them I speak to them I've also have taken ROP child development courses.
Hi I'm Kimberly! I've been a mother for 12 years. I have multiple children, and have always been the go-to babysitter for friends and family. I enjoy having littles around, as do my children. I believe parents know best, and thus I try my best to provide a personalized approach to each child based on the family's needs.
Hi! I'm a former nurse with a Master’s in Psychology and over 15 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and families. I bring a calming presence, clear communication, and a lot of patience to the families I work with. I’ve cared for kids of all ages—from newborns to teens—and also support older adults, including those with memory or mobility challenges. Alongside my caregiving background, I’m trained in mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and creative, play-based care. Whether it’s managing routines, helping with transitions, or simply bringing ease to the day, I step in with clarity, calm, and care. I’m currently pursuing an ongoing professional development program, so I don’t have regular availability. I accept jobs as they come, and all bookings require my approval—please send a request, and I’ll let you know if I can help. Families describe me as trustworthy, nurturing, and easy to talk to. I’d love to connect and support your family!
Hi! I’m Sarah, a BLS-certified healthcare worker with 10 years of experience, including time in a pediatric dental setting. I’ve worked closely with children, helping them feel comfortable and safe in medical settings, and I’m passionate about creating positive, fun experiences for kids. With my background in healthcare, I understand the importance of safety, communication, and being prepared for any situation. I’m a reliable, responsible, and caring individual who loves spending time with kids. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or keeping them entertained, I’m all about fostering a fun and safe environment. I’m experienced in managing different personalities and know how to be calm and patient when things get a little hectic. If you’re looking for someone who combines warmth, experience, and professionalism, I’d love to help out with your childcare needs!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
