$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am friendly, reliable, and punctual. I love working with kids and also pets such as dogs and cats. I have years of experience engaging with little ones while being patient, attentive, and organized. I always ensure your child's safety comes first while also having lots of fun and learning new things. Please reach out if you think I could be a great fit for your family :)

Abby was more than wonderful! We booked her last minute to help support with my nephew. Even with uncertain weather, Abby not only showed up but showed out. She was punctual, dependable and my nephew Kam couldn't wait for her to come back the next day. They did crafts together and we were impressed with the way she maintained routine even though she was new to all instructions. Absolutely recommend Abby!

Rosangely $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm newer to this field but growing up I've always loved helping others. Whether it was helping take care of my 4 little siblings, or our family dog I've always been in an environment where I was helping to care for someone. I also would love volunteering, for 4 years I was a reading tutor for a company called Read&Feed and I also dabbled in volunteering at different events as well as summer camps. I recently went to school for Esthetics and work part-time as a medical esthetician at a Wellness Clinic in Cary. Currently, I'm just looking for part-time work for the days I'm not at the Clinic. I'm open to working with any age group including senior care as well as pets like cats and dogs :)

$19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Raleigh, NC

Hi! I’m Alexandra, a Human Development and Family Studies major at UNCG with ECE credentials and daycare experience. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have cared for children of all ages from newborns to teens. I also cook, clean, run errands, and love pets (I have a German Shepherd named Zeus!).

This was the first time we ever hired a babysitter to watch our 3yo and we were a little nervous about it but were so glad we did. Alexandra is such a sweetheart! We got updates during and our daughter seemed so content when we got home. We will definitely hire her again in the future.

"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!"
