Rachel $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rachel and I've been taking care of children for 34 years. Many of those years were children 3 and under, however for the last 4 years I've been a Pre-k teacher in Charlotte. I'm looking for a part-time summer job and look forward to spending it with your kiddo!

Kaniyah $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
