Hi.. I’m Colleen. I am a retired Licensed Practical Nurse for 40 plus yrs, 22 yrs were with Duke University Medical Center. I have two grown kids of my own and they are very awesome adults. My career goal was to teach children k through 3rd grade, however, my life took a different direction that has served me well, the medical field. I come from a large family of seven sibs, this helped shape who I am today. I am a 67 yr young, caring, gentle, fun, dependable single woman who has much to offer with my love for kids and look forward to assisting you with yours!

Colleen was sweet and patient with my four year old and played with him all day. Would hire again!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Timberlake, NC

I began working as a babysitter in my teen years and loved it so much that I continued babysitting throughout college and into my 20s. After getting married and becoming a socialworker, I became a mother to my own child, who is now 18 years old and getting ready to go off to college this month! I have the experience of being both a babysitter, as well as a parent. I am CPR trained and because I worked for many years in Early Intervention, I am very knowledgeable about child development. I’m also a playful, energetic person who will engage with your child(ren). I love being outside, and enjoy crafts.

Booked by 5 families in Timberlake, NC

Hi parents! My name is Megan, and I’ve been in childcare since 2005. I studied Early Childhood Education, Library Science, and completed Newborn Care Specialist training. Over the last couple decades, I have worked with ages 0-12, and some adults. Most of my experience lies in early childhood, as I typically begin nannying during infancy and prepare them for pre-school. I'm CPR/AED/1st Aid certified, have experience with food allergies, seizures, behavioral disorders, chronic disorders, and speech delays. I am comfortable administering medication and driving with children in my care. I practice gentle parenting, sleep training, a variety of language techniques, and strive to work together with family/parents/children as a true part of the team. Just a bit about me-- I love yoga, gardening, and hanging with my partner and our four critters (so I’m very pet friendly!). I'm a lover of books, music, and arts & crafts. I love taking those things outside for a little sunshine, and implementing them into childcare. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect!
