Hi! My name is Maame & I’m offering childcare and house sitting services. I’m a reliable, kind, and responsible sitter who enjoys spending time with children and helping families when needed. I have experience with school routines, meal prep, homework help, after-school pickup, playtime, outdoor activities, and creating a safe, fun environment where kids can feel comfortable and cared for. While I don’t have much experience caring for pets, I’m comfortable around them and happy to learn.
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.
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
“Brittany was very professional, nice, and patient with my little one. I will definitely recommend her, and I have no problem booking her again in the future. Thank you so much, Brittany!”
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!”

"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!"
