Kristine $18 per hour for 1 child

I have provided child care before, during and after graduating from Meredith College, I stayed home and homeschooled my own 2 children who are now 16.5, daughter, and 22, son. My daughter would love to come with me and play and snuggle too. When my children were young, I cared for several single Moms' kids and a couple of other families. As they grew older, I found a data entry job and real estate from home. I miss having time with little ones and would love to provide occasional care for others. I am a former lifeguard and have had my CPR recertified a few times over the years that included infants as well. My daughter and I also provided senior care to my 2 parents for the last 3+ years. I can provide transportation to shops, take out to lunch, provide activities, and accompany them to Dr appointments. I know how hard it is to find people one can trust and would love to help others after being blessed with having found amazing help. References are available!

I am a retired teacher, having worked with middle and high schoolers in the area of Language Arts for 38 years. Currently, I am a nanny, a substitute teacher, and a tutor for elementary students. My life has been spent helping children learn and grow, to my great enjoyment. I have an M.Ed. in Reading Education and am a National Board Certified teacher since 2000. One of my proudest career moments was being chosen as WRAL's Teacher of the Week on Dec. 2, 2015. I am mother to four adult sons (two adopted from Russia) and a grandmother to three grandchildren, ages 1, 4, and 8. I have served as a foster parent through Children's Home Society; every child deserves a safe, loving home. I have completed Child and Baby First Aid/ CPR/AED training through the American Red Cross. I am fully vaccinated! My strong points are my patience, creativity, and energy. Yes, I consider myself a young 70 year old! I am a non- smoker, love pets, and have reliable transportation. I enjoy baseball, traveling, reading, hiking, and antiquing. My recent trips have included France, Ireland, Scotland, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, and South Dakota. All have been fun learning experiences! I hope to meet you and your family soon!

I'm a Registered Behavior Technician who loves caring for both children and animals. My career has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing compassionate, individualized care—qualities I bring to every pet I look after. I'm a proud pet parent to my sweet tabby cat, Milo, and my Great Pyrenees mix, Sadie. They are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.
