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.
