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.

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!

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!

With 20 years of childcare experience and a Bachelor's degree in Child Development, I'm passionate about providing compassionate, attentive care tailored to each child's unique needs. I've worked as a full-time nanny for two children (a girl from 11 months to age 4 and a boy from birth to age 2), and I've also cared for a 3-month-old infant, plus served as a summer nanny for two children including a 10-year-old boy with autism. Beyond nanny care, I have extensive experience in child development centers, Pre-K classrooms, and as a summer camp counselor. During the pandemic, I was a virtual learning facilitator for five children (three kindergartners and two 2nd graders). I have particular expertise working with children with disabilities and English language learners, and I'm skilled at developing lesson plans and providing educational activities and support to enrich children's development. My Pediatric First Aid/CPR & SIDS certifications are current. I can also help with household management tasks and pet care! I have done both for many families and I have over 13 years of dog sitting experience.

Hi, my name is Sharon - a Joy carrier and easy to work with. I have a lot of experience babysitting and I’ve worked with different companies like SitterTree, etc. I love children and the light and joy they bring to this world. I have worked with special needs children and it’s amazing and a blessing to work with them as well. I can also run errands, household duties and any work that needs to be done in the house. I also have some experience sitting elderly people - listening to wisdom is always key. God bless you ☺️

Sharon was so wonderful! We appreciate her and Gerald so much for coming to our home and making it spotless!
