Hi, my name is Hannah! I’m 21 years old and a recent graduate. I love caring for kids and helping busy parents keep up with their house and errands. I am very responsible and trustworthy when it comes to doing a task, especially involving children. I have been working 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!

Maura M., Babysitter in Durham, NC 27713 with 20 years of paid experience

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!

Rachel P.

Angelica was an amazing nanny to our three month old baby girl and five year old boy. We were so sad to have to see her move from Texas as I know she will be missed by both of our kiddos. Being as both my husband and I are in the military, Angelica was truly understanding and available to help out with our kiddos. She was ALWAYS on time for the full four months, every single day without fail, which is invaluable nowadays. She is highly recommended for babies and kids of all ages. She is kind, caring and very patient.

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.

Hi! I'm Shannon, a 28 year old who lives in Raleigh and babysits for a living. I have reliable transportation and I'm CPR/ First Aid certified. I have been babysitting since I was 17 professionally. I started watching children with autism at 18 until last year because I became a full time nanny. I'm taking time off from Wake Technical Community college to save up money and figure out exactly which career I would like to pursue. I would love to talk on the phone, meet for coffee, an dome over to meet your family. I'm friendly, respectful, prompt, and tidy. Look forward to hearing from you! Shannon

Chinwendu A., Babysitter in Durham, NC 27713 with 3 years of paid experience

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.
