Find experienced babysitters in Sylva, NC

Hi there! My name is Kara and I’m 30 years old. Currently, I work as a full time professional nanny for a 1 year old girl! I have cared for children ranging from newborn (few days old) all the way up to middle school age with several years experience. The best qualities to describe me would be honest, outgoing, trustworthy, creative, and fun. I'm also CPR certified and first aid certified. In my spare time I like to spend time at the beach, spend time with friends, stay active, reading books, doing anything outdoors, or doing really anything to stay busy. Patience is key and children are my passion. I have also taken multiple classes regarding newborns, infants, and toddlers based upon safety, general care, and sleep conditioning!! Last but not least, I’m a certified advanced newborn care specialist, in a self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified postpartum doula, as well as another self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant! Hope to hear from you!

I have been a professional nanny in the past for 10 years and have been doing temporary nanny jobs for another 10 years, especially with infants and toddlers. I have babysitting experience since I was 12 years old with every kind of child you can imagine! I have two years of professional experience as a paraprofessional with autistic children. I have a degree in Art Therapy & most of a master’s degree in nutrition, can teach baby sign language & focus on Montessori style play, and I also have a diploma in Professional Massage Therapy. I have also taught ESL online to children in China! I’m vaccinated and boostered and CPR/First Aid certified. AKA, the baby whisperer, kids love me and I love kids! I’m currently available to create connections with families for the month of December 2024, one-time/short-term babysitting gigs or occasional overnights!! I’m super thrilled to meet you and your children!

Hi! My name is Riley Hatch and I am currently in nursing school at DDCC. I am a responsible, energetic, and intelligent student who has very big goals for herself! I have been working jobs since I was sixteen and I currently am certified as a nurse aide working in a long-term care facility, so i’m not afraid of hard work! Along with my nurse aide certification I also carry a CPR certification. My end career goal is to become a pediatric nurse in a children’s hospital! I don’t have much experience working with kids aside from one semester of babysitting two young girls (aged 2 & 3), volunteering with summer camps, and my local church’s vacation bible school. Although I lack the paid experience watching children some may have, I am a very responsible and attentive young adult who will take any job extremely seriously. I go above and beyond to make those around me happy and will go above and beyond to keep your children safe!

I am an energetic college sitter who has many years of experience. I have been a nanny, babysitter, and overnight camp counselor! I am child and infant CPR and first aid certified (July 2024). I fully enjoy spending time with children and am willing to do light work around the house as well! The ages I am most comfortable with are infants to toddlers! I have experience transitioning babies to solid food, starting walking, muscle training, and potty training.

Hello! I am a 35 year old professional loving life as a Nanny and Family Assistant! I have 15+ years of experience working directly with children ages 3 months-10 years, plus mentoring teens. My passions include music, art, cooking, gardening and the outdoors. I love finding creative activities to do with the children in my care that promote growth and self expression, and I love encouraging children to look at their surroundings to learn and discover new things. Whether that means going for a nature walk, cooking fresh picked veggies, or making a mess while we paint, I believe a child learns best when given the freedom to explore and ask questions in a safe and nurturing environment, and I love being part of that process! Training beyond my college degree includes a Child Development Certification, and I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Hi! My name is khaliyah! I have been in the child care business since 2023 I’ve worked at camps preschools and county schools and I’m excited to work with you!!

I have just recently graduated high school, as well as community college, and I have been working with children for about three years now. My passion for working with children began when my little brother was born and since then I have had multiple summer jobs at daycares and recently interned at a youth center. Working with children brings me joy and I love getting to know people and make connections. I do not currently have any certifications but I would be happy to help in any way I can. I am patient and willing to help with anything. Feel free to reach out, I am so excited!

Hey there! I’m Vanessa — a 21-year-old student at Western Carolina University studying Elementary Education. I’ve worked with kiddos as young as 6 weeks old all the way up to middle schoolers, and I truly love every age and stage! I am currently a full time student, so my schedule/availability changes every 5 months, but I would love to fit in time! I currently do not have a full-time sitting family (although I am looking!!!), but I prioritize myself on my full flexibility on weekends, and most weekdays! This is my usual availability (Don’t be scared to ask about overnight or vacation opportunities): Monday: 4-11pm Tuesday: 5:30-11pm Wednesday: 4-11pm Thursday: 5:30-11pm Friday: 4-12pm Saturday: 7am-12am Sunday: 7am-4pm I’m certified through SC DSS, have completed multiple Early Childhood courses, and have a negative TB test. I have been background checked through the state of NC and SC and am willing to share that information! I have taken endless safety courses, as I am a part-time preschool teacher, so I have multiple course certifications in topics such as Safe Sleep, SIDS, Nursemaid’s Elbow, Outdoor Play, and more! I have my own car along with a clean driving record, that I love to tell parents about so they know I am always down to take small car rides to a nearby park or children’s museum. I love crafting, playing outside, and making sure your child is both safe and having a blast. I’m experienced with potty training and happy to follow (or help create!) a routine that works for your family. I do have experience with multiple kids as well as having pets in the home. I do have my own apartment with a cat, so if you are looking for someone to drop off to, I am more than willing to share my home with your lovely child(ren). Plus, I genuinely enjoy cleaning and organizing during downtime — it’s just part of who I am! If you’re looking for a fun, reliable, and hands-on sitter, I’d love to connect with you and your family!
