"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Zhaire $15 per hour for 1 child
Hello! 🩷 My name is Zhaire, and I’m a sophomore Early Childhood Development major at North Carolina A&T State University. I was born and raised in Maryland, where I gained 2–3 years of experience working at Crofton’s Children Center with children ages 2–10. I am also a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential holder, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need a caring and dependable babysitter while also earning extra income to help support myself throughout college. I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones! 🩷

I have a passion working with children, helping them to grow, develop and learn by considering each child's uniqueness. I have been providing guidance and support to children. I have been babysitting and working for childcare over two years. My role involves taking care of youngest to older children , serving meals, changing diaper, clean after eating, putting for nap. I also took care of my mother in law for several years. I make sure to maintain good communication with families about their children's progress. I like to create fun activities to get children engaged. I am all about improvement in the workplace and integrity and fairness is very important to me.
“On time, my son had lots of fun with her, and she made sure he was safe. ”

Hello! I was an elementary school teacher for 4 years, but I have now started law school in Greensboro, NC. I love working with children of all ages, and have experience with babysitting at home, picking-up and dropping-off, teaching, tutoring, and field trips. I love caregiving because I am young at heart and am able to connect well with children. Additionally, I love seeing them grow and making an impact in a child's life. Something personal about me is that I have a dog whom I love with my whole heart, and I am also a classically trained singer. I look forward to potentially working with your family.
“Gabby was very professional, caring and easy to work with. She cared for my daughter (8) several times and each time has been on time, engaged and responsive. We would be happy to work with her again”

I am grad student, former athlete, and board game fanatic. I am happy to drive or pick up kids from activities. I’m game for pretty much anything and would love the chance to get to know your kid(s)!
“Logan was awesome! She handled our 1 and 3 year-olds like a real pro. There were a lot of tears when we said goodbye, but she got our kids to settle down quickly after we left. She made fast friends with them and juggled the double bedtime routine no problem. Very warm and outgoing.”
