Booked by 6 families in Raleigh, NC

I am a retired teacher, having worked with middle and high schoolers in the area of Language Arts for 38 years. Currently, I am a nanny, a substitute teacher, and a tutor for elementary students. My life has been spent helping children learn and grow, to my great enjoyment. I have an M.Ed. in Reading Education and am a National Board Certified teacher since 2000. One of my proudest career moments was being chosen as WRAL's Teacher of the Week on Dec. 2, 2015. I am mother to four adult sons (two adopted from Russia) and a grandmother to three grandchildren, ages 1, 4, and 8. I have served as a foster parent through Children's Home Society; every child deserves a safe, loving home. I have completed Child and Baby First Aid/ CPR/AED training through the American Red Cross. I am fully vaccinated! My strong points are my patience, creativity, and energy. Yes, I consider myself a young 70 year old! I am a non- smoker, love pets, and have reliable transportation. I enjoy baseball, traveling, reading, hiking, and antiquing. My recent trips have included France, Ireland, Scotland, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, and South Dakota. All have been fun learning experiences! I hope to meet you and your family soon!

Sharon is the best sitter! Our kids love her. She always finds a way to incorporate learning and a fun activity when spending time with our youngsters. If you are able to have Sharon watch your kids you won’t be disappointed.

I'm a Registered Behavior Technician who loves caring for both children and animals. My career has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing compassionate, individualized care—qualities I bring to every pet I look after. I'm a proud pet parent to my sweet tabby cat, Milo, and my Great Pyrenees mix, Sadie. They are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.

Hello! My name is Ada, and I am a warm, dependable, and bilingual babysitter who speaks both English and Spanish. As a mother, I understand that trusting someone with your children is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. My mission is to give parents complete peace of mind by providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel secure, valued, and genuinely cared for. Every child is unique, and I love getting to know their personality, interests, and routines. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, an energetic toddler, or a school-age child, I strive to create a calm, joyful atmosphere filled with kindness, patience, encouragement, and fun. From reading stories and creative play to bedtime routines and healthy snacks, I focus on making every moment meaningful while ensuring your child feels comfortable and happy. I know that life can be busy, and every parent deserves time to reconnect, recharge, and enjoy life’s special moments. Whether you’re planning a date night, celebrating an anniversary, attending a wedding, working late, traveling for business, or simply taking a well-earned break, you can leave knowing your children are in caring and capable hands. My goal is not only to care for your children, but to become someone your family can trust and rely on whenever you need support. I want you to enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your children are safe, loved, engaged, and treated with the same care and respect I would give my own family. I believe the best childcare is built on trust, communication, patience, and genuine compassion. I would be honored to care for your little ones and become a trusted part of your family’s support system. I look forward to connecting with your family and becoming a trusted support for your little ones.

Incredibly professional, friendly, and detail oriented!

I am a compassionate, patient, and attentive individual who understands the unique needs of children. My ability to communicate effectively, provide a safe and nurturing environment, and engage kids in meaningful, age-appropriate activities makes me an excellent caregiver. Additionally, my reliability, adaptability, and commitment to fostering their growth and development ensure that children feel supported and cared for in my presence. I love children and have worked managing a children’s museum that was very hands on with child care. Im currently finishing my Masters degree in education to be an elementary teacher.
