Hi parents! My name is Mereema, and I’m a dedicated, energetic, and compassionate caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages. Taking care of kids has always come naturally to me—I grew up helping raise my two younger sisters and have since worked as a nanny, babysitter, and even a kids’ ski instructor. I truly love what I do and strive to create a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment for every child I care for. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, handling everything from meal prep and bedtime routines to arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and developmental activities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a reliable car, and always prioritize safety and well-being. Whether it’s reading books, playing at the park, or organizing creative learning experiences, I make sure every child feels cared for, supported, and entertained. If you’re looking for a responsible, loving, and experienced sitter who will treat your little ones like family, I’d love to chat! Let’s connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your needs.

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.

Hi, I'm Latoya and I love working with children! I have various experiences working with children such as babysitting cousins, tutoring, previous health educator for young moms and children, substitute teaching, volunteer experiences in medical school, and healthcare exposure to sick children. I have been babysitting with Care. com for the past 5 months on weekends and weekday evenings. I do the following activities with children: arts and crafts, reading books, movies, video games, and puzzles. I am rarely on my phone during babysitting only to provide text updates for the parents. I don't mind at all when parents check in and/or if they want to meet in person first. Also, I can do light housekeeping and meal prep. I bring my bookbag with my laptop to do some things when the kids are sleep. I tend to bring my own food or order something from Uber-eats. I am also CPR certified and have my own vehicle. I do not smoke and I do not wear strong perfume. My schedule is free after 5 pm on M-F. I am free anytime during weekends. I am currently in medical school and doing a research year in Raleigh. My career goal is a pediatrician. I have a background check on here and two reviews. Please contact me if interested. Thanks

Thanks for reviewing my profile! There's nothing I would rather do than be with infants, toddlers & children. I provide whatever each child needs - comfort and cuddling, down-on-the-floor game playing, or, athletic, artistic and intellectual activities. With experience as both a pre-school teacher and mother of three remarkable daughters, I respect & adore children of all ages, using patience, kindness, redirection and humor to bring out the best in them (and in myself!). I have a proven ability to swiftly form trusting bonds with children & I consider caring for their well-being to be one of humankind's most important responsibilities. I am a founding board member of the Golisano Children's Museum in Naples, FL, where I just relocated from after 35 years! I hold a BA degree in Literature & my interests include history, jazz, nutrition, biking, art, & photography. Seeking short term, occasional, newborn support, one-time, special event, sick care & emergency. $25/hr.
