Hi I am Giada. I am a Senior at UNCC majoring in Social Work and minoring in Public Health. I have always loved kids and been able to form bonds with them. I started babysitting outside of my family when I was 13 and when I was 15 got a job at a country club taking care of kids ages 6 months - 10 years old while their parents were engaging in fitness classes and various club sports. Babies are my absolute favorite and I love taking them for walks to get fresh air and enjoy their new world. I enjoy reading and playing with them.

Grace $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Grace! I am an experienced and reliable nanny. I have worked as a part-time nanny/babysitter for close to 2 years, plus I have had years of experience caring for kids and babysitting my 5 younger siblings. My professional experience is with age ranges from newborn - 12 years. I am also very comfortable with newborns so helping a mom transition back into work by caring for her baby will be no issue at all! I love creativity and adventure, and love spending time with kids doing fun activities, playing outside, and going out and about. I’m always down for arts and crafts, dancing, baking, reading, and so much more! I’m good at sticking to routines and cleaning up after the kids and myself. I have safe and reliable transportation and a valid driver license and am willing to drive the kids when needed. I can also provide references. I would love to talk more about what nannying for your family could look like :)
