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.

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, 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!

Hello! My name is Chandra or Chan Miss Chandra or Miss Chan. Caring for children isn’t just my job, it’s truly my passion. I’ve been a paraprofessional for 7 years and have spent my career supporting and nurturing children in both classroom and home settings. I worked as a 4K teacher assistant for 4 years, where I helped create a safe, engaging, and positive learning environment for young learners. I also helped run my church summer camp for 3 years, planning activities, supervising groups, and making sure every child felt included and cared for. In addition to working with many wonderful families as a babysitter, I’ve also helped raise my younger brother and my nephew — experiences that have shaped my patience, compassion, and understanding. Children hold a very special place in my heart, and I would be honored to be part of your child’s world, supporting their growth, celebrating their milestones, and providing dependable, loving care every step of the way.
