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!

Hello Parents! My name is Karen, and I am from Mexico. I am currently attending nursing school. I am an experienced caregiver who enjoys spending time with kids. I believe in being respectful, responsible, creative, friendly, playful, energetic, affectionate, patient, and kind when it comes to taking care of children. I have taken care of children of all ages and types, but I'm especially experienced with infants and toddlers. I believe that learning should be fun, so I always try to come up with creative and engaging activities that keep kids entertained while also teaching them something new. I am fully qualified to take care of infants, and I have received training in Basic Life Support from the American Heart Association and in Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid from the American Safety & Health Institute. • I'm currently available for date nights and occasional jobs. If you have any questions or would like to know more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be happy to chat with you. ★ » I do have a 4hr minimum though I don’t have to be physically present for all 4hrs. This is because I plan my time around the hours booked. Thanks 😊

Hi! I’m Nika. Pronounced “Knee-ka.” I’m 24 years old and originally from Tennessee, but I’ve been living in North Carolina since 2022 and absolutely love it here. I’m currently a college student pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education, with over 50 credit hours completed so far. My goal is to become a teacher one day, but for now, while I’m in college, I’m focused on gaining experience and supporting families through childcare. I come from a very large and family-oriented background with over 20 siblings so I’ve literally been around children my whole life. I’ve always had a natural connection with kids and find so much joy in being part of their growth. Watching them learn, develop new skills, and grow into their personalities is truly rewarding. I have over five years of paid childcare experience across several roles. I started at a daycare as a floater in the infant classrooms, caring for babies aged 3 to 11 months. I handled tasks like bottle prep, feeding, transitioning to solids, tummy time, naps, and diaper changes. In the afternoons, I would help school-aged children (6–8 years old) with homework and tutoring. After moving to NC, I became an assistant teacher at a preparatory academy, working with toddlers (12–16 months) on walking, speech, and fine motor development. I then started as lead toddler teacher (ages 12–23 months) at a preschool before switching with a coworker to lead the pre-K classroom (ages 3–4). I created weekly lesson plans including hands-on activities like learning shapes and colors, storytelling, name writing, and puzzle-solving. I also have experience working with children who have disabilities such as autism and ADHD. I always treat every child equally, but I adjust my approach based on their needs, such as avoiding loud noises for children with sensory sensitivities or creating structured routines for children who need consistency. Currently, I’m a nanny to a three-year-old boy, and I’ve been with him for over two years. I’ve supported him through major milestones like language development and social-emotional growth. In my free time, I enjoy painting, reading, writing, dancing, and playing sports like volleyball, tennis, and soccer. I love arts and crafts and believe that learning often looks like messy fun. I’m also big on routines and keeping things tidy after play. While I love to have fun and be creative, safety and supervision always come first.

I have always loved spending time with children, especially my cousin’s and friends’ kids. My experience has taught me to be caring, attentive, patient and understanding- qualities that make me a dedicated and trustworthy candidate.

Hi! I’m Aubrey! I’m currently looking for an extra source of income and I figured it would be nice to do something I enjoy. I grew up being babysat and babysitting/petsitting! I enjoy being around kids and animals as I have many little cousins (of all ages really) and find it very rewarding to take care of them. In fact, one of my favorite jobs was working at a sleep away camp where I was directly responsible for 10 girls from 9-10 years old. Without getting too detailed I served as a role model and maternal figure for the kids and I loved it! I would love to work with you and your kids/pets!
