Hello! My name is Laura Mejia, I’m 28 years old and I am Colombian, I am excited to introduce myself as your potential babysitter. With several years of experience caring for children of various ages, I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your little ones. I believe in engaging children through creative activities, educational games, and outdoor play to ensure they have an enriching and enjoyable experience while under my care. I am certified first aid, and I prioritize open communication with parents to align on routines, expectations, and any specific needs your child might have. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing that your children are in capable and caring hands. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your family! Best regards, Laura Mejia

I am forty years old and currently live in Smithfield, NC. I have a BA in Public Policy Analysis from UNC Chapel Hill and have completed twenty-four hours toward a Masters degree in Public Administration at UNC Wilmington. Most recently, I worked as the Executive Director at Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation, where I did economic development, facilitated placemaking initiatives, planned events, and worked with community partners. I am currently taking care of my mother, who has cancer. I have been babysitting for more than twenty-five years, since the age of twelve. I was a YMCA Afterschool Counselor, Summer Camp Counselor, and Swimming Lessons Instructor during high school and in the summers when I was in college. In Chapel Hill, I often babysat for members of the Chapel Hill Mother's Club. I joined Stellar Sitters in Wilmington after I moved there in July of 2007, and have worked with them in the Raleigh area since the fall of 2008. I also volunteered in Grow Zone (the nursery) at Port City Community Church in Wilmington. I have significant experience with school-aged children through the YMCA, and significant experience with babies, toddlers, and school-aged children through babysitting. I regularly care for my niece, who was born April 4, 2011 and has brought so much joy into my life! I really love interacting with children -- there's not a lot in this world that is more special or rewarding than seeing the excitement on a child's face when they accomplish something for the first time or learn something new! Some of my favorite things to do while babysitting are playing pretend and getting to see wild imaginations at work, arts and crafts and playing outside. I can have fun getting dirty and making a mess, but I will make sure that everything is cleaned up as it was when we started. It is my hope to encourage a child to be honest, responsible, respectful and caring, and to do this in a way that your child is entertained, learning and safe. I am glad to help with homework, do crafts, prepare food, and provide transportation. In my free time, I am often at a softball field or in the stands at volleyball and basketball games cheering on my niece. I am also an active member of the Junior Women’s League of Smithfield and volunteer for many community organizations. I enjoy cheering on my Tar Heels, photography, outside activities, scuba diving, and traveling! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with over 5 years of experience working in daycares, private homes, last minute care, and babysitting for family friends. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens, and I truly enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’m certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED, and I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for! In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks such as laundry, cleaning, errands, meal prepping, organizing, etc. References and my resume are available upon request!
