Find experienced babysitters in Canton, 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 am school social worker, MSW, LCSW and have been working in Buncombe County Schools for 11 years. I am taking a sabbatical this school year, and would love to spend some of my time with kiddos! I am the luckiest aunt of 5 incredible nephews who I miss daily because they live in Wisconsin! I love to sing and read, go on adventures, have fun, learn in any and every way possible, sharing all of the wonders of this planet with kids. I am spending the year working on my artwork, and exploring what's out there. I would love to get together to see if we could be a good fit!

I have had multiple years of caring for babies, kids and pets of all ages, not to mention raising two of my own. I have my CPR certification and basic first aid knowledge. I love the wonder and joy of kids who are learning so much so quickly and enjoy being a part of that experience. I am a born nurturer with energy, education and excitement for what every new day can bring! I like to keep the TV off and the mind and body active. I also believe that down time is important for development. Time to just do nothing for a bit to daydream, relax, and connect. Routine and boundaries are what give kids a sense of safety and assurance, and I provide both in a loving, consistent way. Activity is essential for good health and I find that kids really respond to “dance parties”, sing alongs, easy gymnastics, etc. I'm all for them getting outside whenever possible to use some of that incredible energy to run and play games. Puddle stomping, mud pies and getting down on ground level to watch an ant trail are so much fun! I'm a healthy eater and think that when given a choice, kids really do prefer "real" food. I love to cook and bake from scratch with real, local ingredients. Of course, the children are always included in participating! It may get messy, but that's what dishwashers are for! Be ready for a gourmet (kid) treat when you get home from work! Reading out loud every day is a part of my philosophy too. I'm pretty animated and tend to give voices and expressions to the characters. It's simply an essential activity. Questions are encouraged and finding the answers rather then being given them is fun and empowering! I like to use more than the computer as a resource so I hope you have books, a world globe and maps available. All in all, I'd say I have a natural, relaxed approach to child rearing and care. We're all a part of this wonderful "village" on earth and connected to it and each other in some fashion.

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.

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 to pick up more part time hours. Im a happy-go-lucky person all the time. I enjoy watching children grow and have a happy childhood life because I did. It’s nothing more meaningful to me than allowing a parent that they can truat me go have fun with their children. I love seeing children happy. I like being happy on a daily. I love 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

Hi My name is Lexie and I have been working with kids for what feels like forever. i’ve always liked it. I went to school for a little while for elementary education with a minor in psychology. I went through a little bit of a cancer scare recently and ended up, losing my ability to have my own children, so I really cherish the time that I get with all kids now even more and have always enjoyed working with them. I did get my CPR certification in high school and have followed it up after high school so it is up-to-date and I do know what to do. I’m great with animals also and I’m super comfortable with them in the house or out of the house or anything like that. I do have a little bit of background knowledge in training, certain dogs, and things like that. I mostly work with like known aggressive breeds, an and kind of helping them calm down, walk on leashes not be aggressive things like that so if you have like any little things that like you would like me to try to work on your dogs with, I can do that also. And no, I’m not gonna charge you for that. That would be insane, but I cannot express enough of how excited I am for this opportunity and after all my health problems, I’m really excited to get back into the workforce and things like that and can’t wait to start taking care of kids again. :)))))

Hi families! I’m a professional educator and caregiver with 6 years of paid childcare experience. My background includes 3 years as a Pre-K teacher, 3 years as a substitute teacher, and 10 consecutive years of babysitting. I have extensive experience with all age groups, from infants up to age 11+. My care philosophy focuses on sparks of imagination and active, healthy play. Instead of staying inside, I love taking children on enriching adventures! Whether we are exploring local parks and rivers, crafting, or visiting the museum, zoo, and aquarium, my goal is always to get their energy out while expanding their minds. I have flexible availability and am happy to provide references from local families. Thank you, Kailee E.

Hi! My name is Syieda. I have 18 years experience caring for children from birth to 12 years old. In the past I've worked at an after school program, summer camp, day care and as a babysitter/nanny. I've been trained in CPR and basic life support several times though im not currently up to date. I'm a very thorough and attentive individual. I've always had great adoration for the little people of the world and show this through my love of getting on their level and relating with them in their exploration, while also doing my best to set a balanced and moral example. Being in the presence of children brings out the best in me and I love being my best self. I have my own 3 year old som whom I care for full-time at home.

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.
