Kelly Wilmington
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kelly, and I’m excited to offer babysitting as a fun and flexible side-gig. I have an associate’s degree as an ultrasound technologist and currently work as a software developer, so I bring both a medical background and strong problem-solving skills to my caregiving style. I have experience caring for my 6-month-old niece and have babysat friends’ children ranging from toddlers to teens (ages 2 to 15). I’ve also supported seniors and have plenty of experience with pets—I have both cats and dogs—so I’m very comfortable helping with multi-care households. I love caregiving because kids are genuinely fun to be around, and I enjoy creating an environment that’s safe, engaging, and nurturing. I’d describe my approach as “fun but firm”—I like to keep things playful while still maintaining structure. A little about me: I enjoy playing the ukulele, singing, and sewing. I’m creative, patient, and love bringing activities that spark imagination and joy. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Nalo Wilmington
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nalo, and I’m currently a sophomore at North Carolina Central University studying nursing. I’m CPR certified and have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I’ve worked at Chuck E. Cheese as a party host for four years and at a daycare for a year and a half, where I’ve cared for infants and toddlers. I also babysit for families outside of work and have experience caring for multiple children at once. I truly enjoy working with kids and love keeping them entertained with games, crafts, outdoor activities, and other age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and always make sure children are safe and comfortable while in my care. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, cooking, and running errands when needed. I’m available for occasional and weekend babysitting and would love to connect with families looking for a reliable and caring babysitter!

Tiayanna Upland
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tiayanna (T-T to the littles’) I’m a 28 year old, in school and a mom! I am a well experienced nanny/caretaker with about 8 years experience. I’m looking for a new family for a few days out of the week while my children are in school. My classes are online, so I am very flexible with scheduling. I have been a head teacher at Wee-Care Childcare center for over 2 years, then turned over to nannying and have been a helping hand for families ever since! As a more experienced nanny I was able to care for the sweetest of newborn cuties to the most fun and active 4 year olds. Our days would consist of daily walks to the park to play with our friends in the neighborhood, trips to fun outdoor places. We would also have craft days and indoor activities that are so fun and creative all while developing appropriate skills! I help prepare lunches, transportation like to and from school and nap time. I also help the parents with light house work like laundry, dishes and just keeping everything tidy. I’m also a mother so I like to think I just have a motherly feel. Im very bubbly, energetic and have a caring personality that always makes the kids feel loved! And mostly, RELIABLE. Im looking for a long-time family so if you’re interested, I hope we are the right fit for each other!
