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 :)
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, 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!
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.”
Hi! My name is Maame & I’m offering childcare and house sitting services. I’m a reliable, kind, and responsible sitter who enjoys spending time with children and helping families when needed. I have experience with school routines, meal prep, homework help, after-school pickup, playtime, outdoor activities, and creating a safe, fun environment where kids can feel comfortable and cared for. While I don’t have much experience caring for pets, I’m comfortable around them and happy to learn.
