Excited and passionate caregiver and house sitter. Many years of experience caring for people and animals in need of love and support. The services I offer include caring for children, adults, dogs and cats, and household maintenance.
Hi! My name is Elizabeth. I have a Masters in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and family Therapy. I have also completed numerous child development classes through the years. I am experienced, trustworthy, responsible, prompt and a very good communicator. You need me because I am fully ready to engage and come have fun with your child/children. I am always watching or playing with kids. Whether it be my nieces or my friends kids or church kids or in a job setting. It's all so much fun. I started working with Children at age 15 and I absolutely love every aspect of it. I am comfortable watching many children at one time and children of all ages, especially 2 months-Junior High age. I possess several certifications including: child CPR (including infants), and First Aid. I have varying degrees of experience from being a nanny, date night sitter, before or after school care, summer care, camp counselor, at risk youth counselor, mothers helper, Sunday School teacher, after school program teacher, Special Education Aide, etc. I currently volunteer with children at church. Also volunteer with Special Needs young adults and high school students. I've had the privilege of being a nanny for several different families through the years. Nanny/date night/babysitting duties range from: changing diapers, using cloth diapers, meal preparation, preparing snacks, bath time, bed time routine, morning routine, taking kids to the park or other outings, swimming, doing crafts, baking, reading to them, using our imagination together, doing puzzles together & many other games, tutor/homework assistance, straightening up their toys, light housework chores, coloring, painting, etc. I love to be a role model for children, play with them on their level of ability, and ensure that they are well taken care. My favorite book growing up was Bread and jam for Frances. Some of my favorite children's games are Mancala, checkers, Uno, Matching, Go Fish, Barrel of Monkeys, etc. When I am not working, then you can catch me outside with family or friends. I love exercising, relaxing, reading, cooking, hiking, watching movies, or playing games. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have! *****MY POLICIES***** If the job is canceled less than 24 hours before the start time, then I ask that I be paid for the hours of the scheduled job. *I also require a minimum 3 hour booking; however, I will consider shorter jobs on a case-by-case basis. I am setting aside my time to dedicate to you.

Hi! I’m Kaylee I am 19 years old and CNA at Wakemed! I am interested in babysitting on the side while I am currently in cosmetology school! I am willing to travel to babysit if needed areas could be wake county or Johnston county. I am ok with pets if you have them! I can babysit all ages I have babysat infants to teenagers. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me! I enjoy baking, cleaning, doing hair, and riding ATVs.
I am forty years old and currently live in Smithfield, NC. I have a BA in Public Policy Analysis from UNC Chapel Hill and have completed twenty-four hours toward a Masters degree in Public Administration at UNC Wilmington. I am just returning to the workforce as a Volunteer Coordinator for the SECU Hospice House in Smithfield following handling my mother’s estate and being her caretaker following a fourteen year career as the Executive Director at Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation. I have been babysitting for more than twenty-five years, since the age of twelve. I was a YMCA Afterschool Counselor, Summer Camp Counselor, and Swimming Lessons Instructor during high school and in the summers when I was in college. In Chapel Hill, I often babysat for members of the Chapel Hill Mother's Club. I joined Stellar Sitters in Wilmington after I moved there in July of 2007, and have worked with them in the Raleigh area since the fall of 2008. I also volunteered in Grow Zone (the nursery) at Port City Community Church in Wilmington. I have significant experience with school-aged children through the YMCA, and significant experience with babies, toddlers, and school-aged children through babysitting. I regularly care for my niece, who was born April 4, 2011 and has brought so much joy into my life! I really love interacting with children -- there's not a lot in this world that is more special or rewarding than seeing the excitement on a child's face when they accomplish something for the first time or learn something new! Some of my favorite things to do while babysitting are playing pretend and getting to see wild imaginations at work, arts and crafts and playing outside. I can have fun getting dirty and making a mess, but I will make sure that everything is cleaned up as it was when we started. It is my hope to encourage a child to be honest, responsible, respectful and caring, and to do this in a way that your child is entertained, learning and safe. I am glad to help with homework, do crafts, prepare food, and provide transportation. In my free time, I am often at a softball field or in the stands at volleyball games cheering on my niece. I am also an active member of the Junior Women’s League of Smithfield and volunteer for many community organizations. I enjoy cheering on my Tar Heels, photography, outside activities, scuba diving, and traveling! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
