Veronica was the most amazing caregiver! She was the ultimate professional and my daughter loved spending time with her each day. We needed a daytime companion for our special needs teen who could keep her occupied from 8-6 daily. Veronica filled the day with wonderful activities that engaged her both cognitively and creatively. She always provided daily updates complete with photos of their experiences and it was true peace of mind to see my daughter so happily cared for. Do not miss a chance to utilize her stellar services!

Erica has been a great benefit to supporting our family's child care and transportation needs. Erica communicates well about her availability and checks in often if there is any concern she may have regarding our kid, sharing her insight and is not afraid to ask us questions. Over the course of a few weeks we've seen them become closer and our kiddo looks forward to spending time with Erica. We happily offer our recommendation if your needs align with Erica's schedule and ability. It is also worth noting Erica is open-minded, accepting, and a possible ally if you are seeking one so kind.

I’m an artist with 20+ years of childcare experience, including a decade as a nanny in New York City (where I graduated from Columbia University). Since moving to the South, I enjoy meeting new families and learning how I can best support kids’ confidence, curiosity, and creativity as a sitter. I love spending time with kids outside (scootering, critter observing, sprinkler hopping!), making things (painting, sewing, baking!), reading books, and practicing new skills (cutting with scissors, phonics!) I have experience with kids on the spectrum, epi-pens, infants, and twins. I strive for clear communication and being a nurturing, peaceful presence in the home. Open to overnights and travel sitting as needed.

Maura has been a fantastic babysitter for our 5 and 18-month-old boys. They both instantly fell in love with her because she’s so great with them. She’s helped out with light housework (dishes and laundry) and even brought thoughtful, fun activities for our boys to do when she comes to be with them. She’s a great communicator and a kind, competent caregiver. As a teacher and former child care provider myself, I always say I’m picky because I want someone with my level of experience and skill to leave my kids with. Maura totally fits the bill and I never feel worried leaving my kids with her. We’re so glad we found her!

Hey Parents! I have gained experience caring for infants from my doula background. Assisting parents with feeding, soothing, sleep support, diapering. I am CPR certified and committed to maintaining a safe, nurturing, and responsive environment where children can thrive. I have a special passion for working with babies and infants and understand the importance of attentive, individualized care during the early stages of development. As for older children I am able to dive into my hobbies like baking, games, and venturing outside to keep them entertained. I work closely with families to ensure that care aligns with their parenting preferences, routines, and values. Whether providing occasional babysitting, regular childcare, or support for parents needing extra assistance, I strive to create a calm, dependable, and loving environment that gives parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. P.S. I have a the results of my background check that was done through Vetty, that I can send to families that are interested.

Takeda was absolutely wonderful with the children. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely engaged with them throughout her time here. She kept the kids happy, entertained, and occupied with activities, while also making sure their needs were met. The children were comfortable with her and had a great time.

Hello! I have over 15 years experience and have also worked at a daycare and special needs school. I have a passion for caring for children and love to have fun! I use a gentle parenting approach which involves redirecting rather than scolding and listening and valuing children’s opinions/feelings. I am energetic and have experience with children ages newborn to teens. Safety and care for your child is number one but I also do light housework as well (dishes, wipe counters, baby/child laundry, etc). Your child will be lovingly be cared for and entertained with playing outside, doing crafts, swimming, riding bikes, stroller walks, doing sensory activities, dancing, and anything else your child is into! **CPR/AED/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross (infant/child/adult and OSHA compliant), fully vaccinated against Covid/Flu yearly, knows baby sign language, safe and responsible driver (new 2026 vehicle with many safety features), comfortable with pets.**

I had a wonderful experience with Lindsay. Linds took care of my grandson for 2 years. She even did some light housework on her own when my grandson was sleeping. She was punctual, respectful, and very patient with my grandson. She also took the time to teach him a variety of things that he would have to know when he eventually started school. Linds was always very kind and considerate and wonderful with kids of all ages. I would definitely hire her again if I needed a sitter in the future.

My name is Cielo and I am a responsible, warm, energetic, and caring nanny. I have over five years of experience caring for children from infancy to school age. I am here to express my interest in supporting your family as a nanny/sitter either part-time or full-time, depending on your needs. I have worked with several families in Durham, Carrboro, and Chapel Hill, including nanny-sharing and short-term contracts, and I was previously a teacher's aide at a daycare center. These positions have provided me with strong skills in creating structured daily routines, supporting early development, preparing healthy meals, and managing child-related household tasks. I am also comfortable with pets and have experience caring for them during family trips. What families appreciate most about me is my calm and reliable nature and the way I genuinely connect with children. I pride myself on being a constant and caring presence in their lives. I understand the importance of trust and communication when working in someone's home, and I always strive to build strong and respectful relationships with both children and parents. I'd be happy to provide you with references. I'm also CPR-certified and qualified under the North Carolina Child Care Act.

Cielo is genuine and kind. She is a natural nurturer and my son loved spending time with her. I went through a tough postpartum with no family near by. Cielo was the only babysitter I had who was consistently reliable.

I have several years of experience caring for children, including babysitting up to three young kids at a time.

I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can thrive, and I’m always happy to help families feel at ease knowing their children are well cared for.
