Hi! I’m Aubrey! I’m currently looking for an extra source of income and I figured it would be nice to do something I enjoy. I grew up being babysat and babysitting/petsitting! I enjoy being around kids and animals as I have many little cousins (of all ages really) and find it very rewarding to take care of them. In fact, one of my favorite jobs was working at a sleep away camp where I was directly responsible for 10 girls from 9-10 years old. Without getting too detailed I served as a role model and maternal figure for the kids and I loved it! I would love to work with you and your kids/pets!
Hey! My name is Fran and I’m a freshman in college from North Carolina. I have had experience babysitting from families down in NC and have spent the last 5 years volunteering coaching children from 4-18. I’m very energetic and enjoy outdoor activities but can also offer assistance in cooking, cleaning and homework help!
Hi! My name is Emmalee, and I am currently working as a medication technician while continuing my education in healthcare. I am offering child care, senior care, and household assistance. I have a strong passion for caring for others and hope to work closely with children in the future. While most of my experience has been in healthcare, I have developed valuable skills such as patience, responsibility, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I am CPR certified and confident in handling emergencies if they arise. I am happy to help with daily routines such as meal prep, light housekeeping, activities, and keeping children engaged and safe. I enjoy creating a positive and comfortable environment for the families I work with.
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!
Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I started this fabulous new adventure just after retiring from an award winning career as an educator and assistant principal in May of 2024! Being able to give my complete undivided attention to connect and engage with only one to three children as opposed to 30 or more is a priceless opportunity, and for me a “fantastic gift to both the child and caregiver!” It’s this rewarding fact that convinces me that you and I would make a fantastic fit for your child! I’ve worked with children infants to school age for over 24 years. This all began at 12 years old, and because I became so impulse with parents of children from infant to elementary that I became a contract babysitter to ensure you had me when you needed! I work well with ALL I care for, this includes, the two legged and four legged family members! While working with HEAD START and for all staff from daycares obtaining accreditation for infants to school age I was a certified American Red Cross instructor CPR and First Aid and safety for all caregivers of infants to school age (elementary) While I taught for DODEA department of defense Education Activities and wrote and obtained my first grant creating a theater drama after school program at one school site and a visual arts after school program for another school site! While I received many awards from both the community and commanding general, the real reward for me was seeing children engage and thrive like never before. I believe that we can and should engage with children of all ages every way every day possible. This begins with infancy and the success and growth from this is seen on a daily basis. Let me show you first hand, how engaging with your child daily reaps life changing success and mindset!
“She is so engaged for those she's caring for, is why she remains so popular, so book early.”
