I am very artistic and hands on. I try to encourage healthy activities. I care to your needs as a parent and what you would be interested in for your child as you are entrusting me with their care.

Precious watched our 4yo daughter for two weeks and was fantastic. Precious was creative with art projects and games during the day and with taking our daughter on approved adventures.

Hi! I am a medical student at Campbell University and will be living in southeastern NC until June of 2026 doing my clinical rotations. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am looking to babysit in my spare time. Daytime, evenings and weekends work great. Please reach out to me for more info! Thank you!

Alexandra was on time, did a great job with the kids and we had a good feeling leaving the kids alone with her.

"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!"
