Hi, my name is Hannah! I’m a 24 year old part-time student in the process of getting my associate degree in Applied Sciences. I love caring for children and helping parents maintain their households and errands. I am very responsible and trustworthy when it comes to doing a task, especially involving adolescents. I have been working publicly since I was 13, and babysitting since I was 11. I always make sure to keep my working environments organized, stress-free, and safe, so you and your children can feel completely comfortable with me! I would love to care for your children and tend to any additional errands or requests parents may have. Can't wait to meet you!

I am a college student who has been around kids my whole life. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping create a fun, safe and positive environment for them. I also enjoy building connections with kids by keeping them active and comfortable while their parents are away. I have experience caring for children through babysitting and volunteering. I grew up helping take care of my younger brother which taught me responsibility and patience and I also babysat for two autistic children which helped me develop strong communication skills, adaptability, and understanding when working with children who may have different needs. In addition, I also volunteered babysitting children during church events and helped run a fun run at an elementary school where I worked closely with kids in a group setting. I also worked as an intern for a Barbizon class, where I helped teach younger kids about modeling, acting, confidence and healthy self-care habits. Through all of these experiences, I’ve developed skills in patience, communication, leadership, creativity, and staying calm under pressure. I am skilled in helping kids with any homework they may have, keeping the house clean and tidy and I also have my own car. I always aim to make sure children feel cared for while giving parents peace of mind.

Eliana is a well mannered, well educated, sports loving young lady. She took care of my son as an older sister. As soon as we met her, me and my wife felt trust and warmth. This is something rare. I wish Eliana nothing less than the best. My son will be glad to have her back. Thank you Eliana.

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.

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.

Brenda watched my 8 month old baby girl for us last minute and she was fantastic. She engaged with age appropriate play during her wake time, kept her on her schedule, and even help straighten up the house while she was napping. She was punctual, professional, gave a great end of day report to us, and best of all our daughter loved her. We would love to have her back anytime our schedules align again.

We had a wonderful experience with Erica! She is warm, friendly, and put our four kids at ease right away. We especially appreciated how communicative she was throughout the evening, sending updates that gave us total peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by tidying up before we got home. Highly recommend!

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!

Hi! My name is Chinwendu! I am a recent graduate of The UNC at Chapel Hill. I have a current NC-EMT license, so I am both CPR and First Aid certified. I have multiple years of experience babysitting children of all ages. In my teens, I worked in a small home daycare service which cared for around 7+ children at a time (ages 3-12). I also volunteered in various children's sunday school classes at my church for 5 years (newborns-5/6-year-olds) as well as for a kids basketball team at the Salvation Army! I love teaching and learning with kids, reading, and staying active. I would love to hear from you if you think I'd be a good fit! :) I'm re-entering school on the 14th with a schedule of 9-3:30pm M-Th; no school on Fridays 🙌🏾 At the moment, I'm prioritizing looking for one family who needs before and after school care & then supplementing with date nights if needed!

Chinwendu is absolutely fantastic with our 7 month old. She has helped him develop and reach his milestones, is patient and caring, and Noah is often laughing and smiling with her when I return. Chinwendu is always punctual, is flexible, and reliably follows any directions or schedules we have. I highly recommend her as a caregiver.
