Hi! I’m Shambray, a professional nanny with 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age. I currently specialize in infant care and provide calm, attentive, and developmentally supportive care tailored to each child’s routine. Families describe me as reliable, nurturing, and proactive. I take pride in creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children can thrive.

We both worked different venues that required childcare professionals to oversee their children while at the events.

Hello, My name is Emily. I am offering child care and household services. I have been working with kids of all ages since I was 12. I am comfortable working with multiple children at a time as well. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and other activities, preparing meals, and providing children with fun activities to keep them engaged throughout the day. I can also help with homework as well as cook, clean, and do laundry if needed. I have no allergies to pets and can even assist in walking/feeding pets.

Emily showed up on time, was very engaged with our child, and had a wonderful attitude. Would absolutely recommend her to friends and anyone in need of care!

Hi families! I am a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with over 4 years of experience working with children 4 and up, and I currently serve as a kindergarten teacher in North Carolina. I enjoy balancing fun and structure, whether that's playtime, helping with early reading skills, or sticking to routines that help children feel comfortable and confident. I am big on supporting social and emotional development and encouraging positive behavior all while showing patience and kindness. As the oldest sibling in my family, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I am comfortable with managing multiple children, staying consistent, and keeping things organized and tidy. Friends and families often describe me as being reliable and attentive. I would love the opportunity to support your family!

With 20 years of childcare experience and a Bachelor's degree in Child Development, I'm passionate about providing compassionate, attentive care tailored to each child's unique needs. I've worked as a full-time nanny for two children (a girl from 11 months to age 4 and a boy from birth to age 2), and I've also cared for a 3-month-old infant, plus served as a summer nanny for two children including a 10-year-old boy with autism. Beyond nanny care, I have extensive experience in child development centers, Pre-K classrooms, and as a summer camp counselor. During the pandemic, I was a virtual learning facilitator for five children (three kindergartners and two 2nd graders). I have particular expertise working with children with disabilities and English language learners, and I'm skilled at developing lesson plans and providing educational activities and support to enrich children's development. My Pediatric First Aid/CPR & SIDS certifications are current. I can also help with household management tasks and pet care! I have done both for many families and I have over 13 years of dog sitting experience.

Available for date night, event, wedding and overnight jobs (I LOVE repeat families!). Right now I have wrapped up nannying for an infant. My pediatric RN program starts Aug 24th and I'm applying for my first hospital-based nursing jobs. Starting Mon, July 20th, looking for 4 hr+ bookings, but preferably full 8-9 hour days. From August 24th onwards I'll be available full days Mon, Tues, Wed and Fri. On Thursdays, due to my class schedule, I can work 8 AM - 12 PM. Quick heads up: I am not available for after school positions. Please use the "Ask a Question" function if you need a specific date/time and I don't show availability. Hi! I am a native Floridian who has lived all over the Eastern Seaboard. I have been taking care of children for 20 years, since I was a kid myself. With two decades of experience and a university education under my proverbial belt, I am firm about my rates and minimum of 4 hours. I was a classroom teacher too. + U.S. Citizen + Native English Speaker + MINI Cooper owner + Non-smoker + Strong Swimmer + Passport Holder + Pet-friendly + Allergy-friendly + Previously epiPen certified + Understands Kashrut dietary laws + CPR/First Aid Certified + High-functioning Autism + Speech impediments + Hearing/vision impairments General Policies: 1. Minimum booking is 4 hours or $100. 2. EARLY RETURNS: Because I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I ask to be paid for the entire booking, even if you come home early. 3. LATE RETURNS: I'm usually flexible on the end time of a booking, but please text/call me if you'll be late, especially if we have not discussed flexibility beforehand. 4. I reserve the right to collect the total amount owed and leave if children and/or parents are ill and the illness is not previously disclosed. I work for a number of children throughout the week and do not want to unnecessarily make them or my 91 year old grandmother, whom I visit frequently, needlessly sick. 5. One cancellation is okay from a family, but after two I may choose not to accept any more bookings from you. 6. I do not consent to being recorded in any manner outside of the typical camera aimed at a child's bed/crib. 7. I am totally open to working interviews. I reserve in person unpaid interviews for long-term positions only. 8. For families visiting Charlotte, I always look for cheap parking. An uber may be requested if that's the best option. 9. Major holidays = time and a half.
