Hi! My name is Domenica I am 23 years old and currently a Lead teacher at a Reggio Emilia preschool! I have been teaching the Reggio Emilia approach for 5 years and I believe in nurturing the interests of the individual child while creating a loving, peaceful, and responsive environment for your child to grow. My certifications include, Early childhood education, CPR, first aid, water safety, SIDS, and many more! I am offering child care for children ages 3 months- 6 years. I will be available full time beginning February 10th, as I pursue my passion in a more individualized environment.
Hii! I'm Ariyanna, a 19-year-old college student with a very big heart for all families. I have 5 years experience.In the past I've worked at an amazing In-home care facility as well as nanny for previous families on other care platforms , where I was blessed to learn the importance of safety, patience for all, and the art of creating a loving, calm and peaceful environment. I am currently in college at YTC earning my CNA certification and am excited to work toward my dream of one day working in a pediatric hospital. I have had the pleasure of caring for 2 different families so far, including one with an adorable 1 year old and another with a very cool set of twins. These amazing families helped me gain hands-on Nanny experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. I love creating a fun, positive and safe atmosphere. Whether that means playtime, helping with daily routines, or simply being a comforting presence to your families. I am very responsible, attentive, and gentle. I always care for all children, elderly people and pets with kindness and respect. Families can feel confident knowing their littles ones, pets, and family members are in safe, happy hands with me:)
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.”
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!
Hi there! If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter with an open schedule for infant care, I’d love to connect. I focus on caring for babies and am available anytime—daytime, evenings, or weekends. I pride myself on being incredibly punctual, highly communicative, and strict about following your specific routine (feedings, naps, bedtime, etc.). I’m perfect for parents who work from home and need a few hours of focused care, families needing backup help during the week, or date nights. Let me know how I can help!
