Booked by 1 family in Henderson, NC

I am a parent of 2 adult girls. I have fostered multiple regular and therapeutic foster children. During my care my husband and I decided to adopt one. I also have a warm and calm personality for children. I had training in mediation and dispute settlement and family counseling. Most of my adult life I’ve worked in Pediatric Care in a hospital or clinical settings. Even at my church I like teaching and working with children and the elderly. My field of study is a Bachelor’s of Business Administration, Management and a Master’s in Health Administration. My heart is centered around the advocacy of children and the elderly.

Kristine $18 per hour for 1 child

I have provided child care before, during and after graduating from Meredith College, I stayed home and homeschooled my own 2 children who are now 16.5, daughter, and 22, son. My daughter would love to come with me and play and snuggle too. When my children were young, I cared for several single Moms' kids and a couple of other families. As they grew older, I found a data entry job and real estate from home. I miss having time with little ones and would love to provide occasional care for others. I am a former lifeguard and have had my CPR recertified a few times over the years that included infants as well. My daughter and I also provided senior care to my 2 parents for the last 3+ years. I can provide transportation to shops, take out to lunch, provide activities, and accompany them to Dr appointments. I know how hard it is to find people one can trust and would love to help others after being blessed with having found amazing help. References are available!

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.”

Kaylee $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kaylee, and I moved to Virginia from Massachusetts about a year ago. As I have gotten settled in, I have been excited to connect with families in the community and offer reliable babysitting/pet support. Kids are usually a little sad to see me leave after a babysitting session, and that’s because I make it my priority to create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for them. I’ve spent several years caring for toddlers (my favorite age group—they always keep me on my toes!) as well as older children. I also have two years of experience working in professional daycare settings. My responsibilities have included arts and crafts, homework help, creative play, light cleaning, and pet care. I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes—I have owned two large-size dogs weighing over 100 pounds —so walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime are no problem. The only thing I can’t accommodate is homes with cats due to allergies, but otherwise, I’d love the chance to support your family and help your little ones have a great time while you’re away!
