"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Matthews, NC
Hey there! My name is Pamella and I am a full time pediatric dental assistant who's looking to gain more experience as a babysitter. I absolutely love children and I have been a babysitter for over 3 years now. My responsibilities have been household chores, making lunches, and driving kids to and from school. I'm excited to use my skill and looking forward to hearing from you soon!
“Pamella is kind, patient, flexible, and responsible. She did a great job taking care of our 16 month old and even did some light housework. Would recommend.”
Miasol $27 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Miasol! I'm the second eldest in a family of 4 wild, homeschooled kids who I helped care for in my childhood. Over the past 13 years, I've been hired by 20+ families to care for babies (independent sleep transition, eating solids transition, motor development, speech development, nap routines) as well as elementary age and preteen children (Nighttime routines, morning/after school care, tidying, transportation, cooking meals, and special needs). For a similar period, I've also taught music to children ages 4+. My nannying style values patience, keeping consistent boundaries for mental and physical wellbeing, and encouraging creative play (I energetically partake- Some children have kindly referred to me as Mary Poppins!). My passion is to help kids grow healthily and happily, and I have done so for over 75 in my time teaching and providing childcare. I'm a UNC Chapel Hill graduate who teaches music for Providence Day School in the afternoons, looking for a morning job!
