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.

Hello, my name is Camila, I’m 20 and I recently graduated from High School, I will start college this coming year. I’m a person who loves children, I am very patient and I love to teach them. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. I’m working to help myself with my college tuition and to learn more about children and to have the opportunity to teach them as well

Hi! My name is Ebonie, and I've been caring for children over several years. My experience comes from babysitting my siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, and children from other families, giving me experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I'm CPR trained and prioritize creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and parents have peace of mind. I'm dependable, patient, and enjoy keeping children engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, and helping with homework when needed. I am also willing to help with cleaning or other household chores.

After teaching journalism for 20 years at a Big Ten school, I retired to North Carolina to be closer to my family. However, I find myself missing the interaction with young people and the chance at 'teach moments' whenever those opportunities arise. I am older than some of your care givers but with that comes a varied background, I have worked in radio & TV, choreographed high school musicals, and dance competitions. As for academics, I went all the way up to but did not complete my PhD (babies came along ;). So I have written, and graded academic papers at every level from the high school level through college. In addition, I am currently helping to care for my 89 year old mother, cook part-time at a senior living retirement home and give respite care fo my 21 year old nephew who has a seizure disorder . So I feel I am well qualified to take care of your loved one, no matter their age, while also engaging them in learning activities or their favorite hobbies. Also, I grew up on a small farm so no pet, is too large, small, or exotic for me to give it some TLC while you can't be there. I am happy to do errands, light housekeeping, and homework along with the regular caregiving duties. I am hoping to find something on a regular basis but am wiling to take a job until we make sure we are the right fit for everyone involved

I have worked with kids aging from 6 weeks to 12 years old at the YMCA for a few years. I enjoy working with kids and building relationships with them and their families!
