"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."

Rhyan $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi — my name is Rhyan and I have a background in biology, with a degree from North Carolina Central University. I’m currently working toward a career in healthcare, so I have a strong science background along with patience and attention to detail that comes from working with people and families. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age kids since I was a young teenager. I’m comfortable managing daily routines — feeding, naps, playtime, and keeping things calm and safe whether it’s one kid or a few.
Evan $10 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Evan and I’m ready to help with your kid! About me: as the eldest of 4, I remember helping out with my adopted sister, over the years. It is quite an experience to say the least. With a kind heart for kids, I’m looking to get some experience. If you need a babysitter I’m ready to help !

Booked by 45 families in Haw River, NC
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.”
Emily
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 repeat families
7 reviews$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Haw River, NC
I began working as a babysitter in my teen years and loved it so much that I continued babysitting throughout college and into my 20s. After getting married and becoming a socialworker, I became a mother to my own child, who is now 18 years old and getting ready to go off to college this month! I have the experience of being both a babysitter, as well as a parent. I am CPR trained and because I worked for many years in Early Intervention, I am very knowledgeable about child development. I’m also a playful, energetic person who will engage with your child(ren). I love being outside, and enjoy crafts.
“Emily is wonderful. She is timely and so kind with our daughter. We really appreciate her!”
