Booked by 2 families in Matthews, NC

Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a responsible, caring and dependable professional who enjoys helping families make life a little easier. I’m happy to care for children and/or pets, assist with activities, and help with light household tasks. I’m organized, attentive and respectful of each family’s routines, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment where everyone feels well cared for and at ease.

We had such a wonderful experience with Alexia babysitting our 2-month-old! She was attentive, caring, gentle and patient with our little one, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very communicative and followed our instructions carefully. We would absolutely recommend Alexia and will definitely have her again!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Frangyn a caring, patient, and reliable bilingual nanny with over 5 years of experience caring for children from newborns through age 10. I have experience with newborn and infant care, feeding, naps and bedtime routines, meals and snacks, school drop-offs, outdoor activities, crafts, reading, library visits, and age-appropriate play. I’m organized, responsible, and very attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family!

Frangyn is a wonderful nanny. She has taken care of my 2 girls so well. She is smart, creative, kind and hardworking and would be a great help to any family looking for a nanny, house sitter or pet sitter.

Kaylee $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaylee, I’m 22 years old and I’m a native to the Charlotte area. I’m currently working as a supervisor at Starbucks and attending their ASU college program. I’ve been babysitting as a side gig since I was 17 years old. My specialty ages are 4-9 years old. I typically help with after school activities such as homework, reading and writing as well as other fun stuff like coloring, crafts and outdoor activities. On top of that, I can cook lunch or dinner and clean up the dishes when they’re finished. My objectives while babysitting include making sure your child is having good, safe fun while simultaneously wearing them out so once I leave, they’re ready for bedtime, a nap or quiet time. I’m said to be friendly, helpful, punctual and energetic so I’ll have no problems keeping up with the energy levels a child has. While my profile is geared towards babysitting I have no issue with running errands, cooking or cleaning up if that is what your family needs! I’ve grown up with German Shepards and occasionally dog-sit Pomeranians so I’m experienced with both large and small dogs. I also have a cat of my own so I’m comfortable with them as well. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Cameron $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cameron and I am an incoming freshman at UNC Charlotte! I am offering child care services. I have worked as a babysitter for two separate families throughout my high school years where I watched an infant, toddler, and kids. My responsibilities were to change diapers, play games, put them to bed, and I also gave lessons on how to ride a bike. I am also equipped with first aid, CPR, and AED certifications for safety in the event of an emergency. I mostly have experience in child care but i’m happy to work with families with pets!
