I am 34 years old and live in Raleigh. I graduated in 2012 from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls with a degree in Marketing Communications and Spanish. My most favored life philosophy is "Collect moments, not things", which is why I always like to get kids involved in activities when possible. There will always be toys and TV in this world, I like to find a way to get kids excited about all the other things there are to life! Some of my most favorite things to do with kids (depending on ages of course) are cooking/baking, riding on transit and teaching them about transit safety, going to the park or for a walk, reading, coloring, dancing, listening to music, and any sort of playtime with water whether it be making bath time more fun or going to the beach.

I am a 48yo married mother of an awesome 12yo son. I have been a registered nurse/case manager for almost 25 years- currently on disability. My goal is to earn a small amount of extra spending money doing something I love- caring for infants and young toddlers. I am trustworthy, dependable, accountable, with a clean driving record, non smoker, and non drinker. I love to nurture and play with infants and young children. I believe kids are happier and more secure with consistent boundaries, using firm but kind words. I would love to meet you and answer any questions you may have.

Hi! My name is Isha, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your little ones (and your furry family members, too!). I've always loved working with children because I genuinely enjoy helping them learn, grow, and have fun, just as I got to growing up! I have a year of experience as an Afterschool Activity Counselor at the YMCA, where I supervised groups of children, led games and activities, encouraged teamwork, and helped create a safe, positive environment every day. In addition, I've babysat for multiple families over the years and have experience caring for children of different ages. Growing up, I attended countless summer camps, and they inspired my love for creating exciting activities for kids! Whether it's arts and crafts, imaginative games, scavenger hunts, board games, baking, reading stories, or helping with homework, I love finding creative ways to keep children engaged while encouraging curiosity, confidence, and plenty of laughter. My goal is for every child to feel safe, included, and excited to spend time together. I'm also happy to assist with bedtime routines, tidying up after activities, and maintaining a structured routine that works for your family. I'm patient, dependable, and believe in balancing fun with responsibility. Along with childcare, I also offer cat care. I'm a proud cat parent myself, and my own cat is truly part of my family. I understand that pets aren't "just animals" but beloved family members who deserve the same love, patience, and attentive care. I'm experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering lots of playtime and affection, and making sure cats feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'm also comfortable around shedding pets and happy to follow any specific care instructions to keep your furry friend happy and healthy! I'd love the chance to get to know your family and provide dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident about! Thank you for considering me and I look forward to meeting you! ◡̈

Hi there! My name is Meredith and I am a college student at ECU. My major is communications and I am a big people person. I used to watch some kids in my neighborhood and I also participated in Wake Interfaith. This is a volunteer program where you watch children while giving the parents a break as they are in difficult housing situations. I have also pet-sit for cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish. I love to shop and clean so any chores are on the table for me! As well as groceries runs. :) I hope my services can be of use to you!

I have been babysitting since high school and have developed a strong, natural connection with children, allowing me to build lasting relationships with both the kids and families I support. I am a very creative person who loves planning fun, engaging activities, and I truly value creating meaningful memories that children will carry with them for a lifetime. Family is everything to me, and I bring that same sense of care and dedication into every home I work in. My experience has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. I am also a big animal lover—I have two cats at home and a lab in my hometown—so I am very comfortable caring for pets as well. I take pride in being dependable, compassionate, and someone families can truly trust.
