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.

I currently work with a family Monday-Friday. I’m open to super part-time, occasional babysitting, weekends, date nights, etc. Every person/child/animal is different so I would appreciate a run down of their routine and what sitting them would entail. I’m super open minded and open to what your kids like to do and what you want us to do. If needed, I’d be able to cook, clean, transport, and/or tutor (I also pet sit/walk, and clean fyi.) I have experience with children of all ages, mostly with kids under the age of 10 (especially infants and toddlers.) I am a huge art, music, nature and animal lover. If you want your children to have a fun time, I’m your girl! I love to dance, sing, paint, color, play outside, swim, watch movies, read, write, etc. A little extra info: I mostly grew up in the Garner/Raleigh area. I graduated from Garner Magnet High School as Suma Cum Laude in 2019. At Garner, I was a part of many different clubs, leadership/fun activities/opportunities, along with soccer and cross country. I attended Kent State University for a semester right after high school and then transferred to Wake Technical Community College. I’m slowly but surely working towards and childcare and human development degree through WTCC and eventually UNCG.

Carlee was amazing with our almost 5 year old, he had a great time!

Hi! My name is Kiana and I am offering childcare, errands, pet care, and house sitting. I have 5 years of experience working with small children in various capacities. I am neat, clean and organized. I have experience caring for infants including new borns, and young children in daycare, middle school children at the Boys and Girls Club, Free Arts for Kids, and Crossroads for Kids. I also have experience working with people who have disabilities. Additionally, I have a background in Theatre and an MA in pedagogy from NYU. I am CPR Certified and have a reliable car. I am also open to discussing other services. Thanks!

Kiana was the best! I won’t recommend her to anyone else, but that’s because I want her to ourselves 😅 lol JK. Absolutely would recommend her to anyone with small children. She was amazing with our zoo of 4 young ones. You would’ve thought she was part of the family after 15 minutes at the house. She was extremely responsive before and during our time together, and she was even flexible with our schedule for the night when plans changed. Can’t say enough good about her. I’m an extremely watchful and protective father and I never felt for a second that the kids weren’t good with her, and I can’t explain how valuable that is to me 🙏🏽 ♥️ Will 100% use her again, as long as we didn’t scare her off 😅
