I absolutely adore connecting, caring for, and exploring with children! I am first aid and CPR certified. I have 4 years of experience with paid babysitting, as well as 15 years of experience watching kids of all ages (including infants) for family and friends. Last summer, I was a full time mountain bike lead camp counselor for 6-8 year olds, planning daily/weekly schedules and ensuring proper care in regard to heat index and food consumption. It was such a rewarding experience to watch the kids learn and grow confidence in their abilities while maintaining safety as a top priority! I have immense patience and meet children where they are. I am comfortable and have experience with animals of all sizes. I can cook, meal prep, clean, help with homework (I have a BA in Mathematics and Statistics and tutoring experience), handle appointments, and I have my own car with a good driving record. I love being creative and active as well! This includes designing engaging activities suited to the child's preferences. I'd love to be a great addition to your family's resources :)

I'm a graduate of Appalachian State University where I received my Bachelors Degree in Music Education with focus in voice. I love teaching and am very active in the music community. Outside of teaching general music and chorus classes, I continue to perform as a soloist and apart of ensembles. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking, playing racketball and love water-sports. This is my 14th year teaching.

I am a recent college graduate currently working as a lead counselor at a psychiatric facility for teenagers in Asheville. I love children and am looking for a chance to get to spend more time with younger kids! I love the joyful spirit of young children, and I've had ample experience babysitting and nannying, as well as volunteering in a Montessori preschool. I would love to get to know your kids and help out your family! I am only available for occasional dates rather than a consistent weekly routine due to my current work schedule, but I can most likely help out several times a week!

Professionally, I have assumed roles as an Assistant teacher in a Headstart program and a substitute teacher in elementary through high school classrooms. Since 2016 I have enjoyed being a part-time caregiver for a former foster child who entered my life at the tender age of 6 days old. My experience includes teaching curriculum, preparing meals, snacks, indoor and outdoor play, playtime, nap time and potty training.... all while exercising safety precautions and measures. I am my happiest when caring for children and watching them blossom. I have currently relocated to Siler City NC due to the impact of the storm in Asheville NC. and is looking for a part-time position working with children. I am a happy go lucky person on a daily. I hold Christian values and morales to the upmost. I love interacting with children while watching them learn and grow. I am CPR & First Aid certified and can provide documentation. I’ve worked with many families in Asheville and provided care for them. (13 families to be exact) I have many great references upon request. Thank You! Denise Ross

I've worked with kids in one way or another since 2008. My main reason for making myself available on this platform is to help parents of children with special needs find reliable, worry-free child care. Having worked in the Behavioral Therapy (ABA) world for over a decade, I know how hard it can be to find child care for a kiddo with atypical behaviors; and that it's against the rules for most companies who provide therapy services to also provide babysitting. My experience includes: Autism, ADHD, ODD, Down Syndrome, OCD, anxiety, dyslexia, dysgraphia, aggression, sensory processing, deaf/hearing impaired, learning disabilities, and children in need of general behavioral shaping. I am a Certified Behavior Technician, semi-fluent in ASL (American sing language), NC Early Educator Certified, and CPR/First Aid trained. I currently work with kids on the spectrum and I thought it would be nice to offer families some relief in the sense of knowing they can leave their, not disabled, but differently able, children with an experienced caregiver. It's a full time job to be a parent and I believe it is so important to be able to get away and TAKE A BREAK! If anyone has seen it all, it's me! If you think your child is too difficult to leave with someone, let me prove you wrong! Having gone into dozens of homes for home therapy, I am very comfortable doing so for babysitting as well. Children with special needs have my heart and I am a natural when it comes to caring for them in a therapeutic, creative way. *I have my own materials, reinforcers, fidgets, and a plethora of sensory satisfying toys. *My rates are high for a reason-but please reach out if needed. I can be flexible. 🙂 *I am open to babysitting typical functioning children. Reach out about rates. *I am open to referrals, if you see this and know of someone who could benefit from my experience, please don’t hesitate to link us!

I started watching kids while I was 13, watching over my younger siblings and babysitting my neighbors' kids and my mom's friends' children. I began falling in love with children when I was always just playing with them and staying active. Babysitting kids really teaches you a lot that you thought you couldn't learn from a child and their so creative and energetic it always keeps you on your toes wanting to learn more. I began actually babysitting when I was 16, to try and help me earn some money on the side while doing what I love and now I do it to help pay for college.

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.
