Hi my name is Kayla! I am a part time student at Trident Tech. I love kids and growing up with a younger sister I feel I have much experience with them as i’ve had to parent her most of my life. :)
Hello! I’m Traci — a mother of a 17 year, old daughter, and a 20-year-old son . I’m also a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with years of experience supporting children and families through all kinds of situations. I bring a grounded, nurturing presence and a deep understanding of child development, emotional needs, and healthy communication. I’m comfortable with infants through teens and especially gifted at helping kids feel secure, seen, and understood. Parents tell me I’m mature, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. I also pride myself on creating a calm, positive environment where kids can play, relax, and be themselves. I’m available for evening and weekend babysitting, date nights, hotel/vacation-rental care, last-minute needs, and short-term arrangements. I would love to be a trusted support for your family.
Hi! My name is Allyssa, and I am a Speech therapist by day and have extensive experience providing care for children, pets, senior citizens and household services. I have worked with a variety of age groups, including infants, toddlers, and school-age children, and I have a passion for helping others. My responsibilities have ranged from engaging kids in creative play, tutoring, and assisting with homework, to organizing fun activities and crafts. I’m also comfortable assisting with transportation to and from school or activities. In addition to child care, I offer household support, including cooking, light cleaning, and running errands. My experience includes caring for senior family members, where I assisted with daily tasks, such as driving to appointments, meal preparation, and providing companionship. I am familiar with the needs of families who have pets and am happy to help with dog and cats. I look forward to being a helpful and dependable part of your household!
I am a 62 year young, recently widowed, grandmother of two, mother of three grown sons. I have been caring for children since my twin sisters were born in 1968. I am especially good with newborns, and new mothers. I have taught preschool, Sunday School, and am from Charleston and know the area. I drive to you…have a late model car that can accommodate 3 littles in the back and one 12+ in the front. I can sit for out of town visitors in hotels and resorts, can help new moms at home, I can cook, run errands, and run the house if necessary. I like to take children out and about, and keep them busy. I can provide references from parents, physicians, clergy, and other professionals. I do work some during the day and am not looking for a full time Nanny job, but my hours are flexible. I am familiar with both Moms on Call and attachment parenting. Pet care is negotiable, senior care is negotiable, overnight care is flexible. Call me.
