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 seeking a position as a full time childcare provider. I have experience with children of all ages, diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and unique needs. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Counseling with a minor in Bible and Theology and I am currently enrolled in an online graduate degree program from the University of Florida. For several years, not only have I been a substitute teacher for a number of public and private schools throughout Georgia and North Carolina, but I also spent 3 summer seasons working at a camp for students with disabilities and special needs, in Wyoming. My fiancé and I have recently relocated back to my childhood home in northwest Florida with plans to settle down and build our new home and remain near my family. My CPR, AED and Lactation certifications are current. I am always searching for additional education and training to improve my skills involving childcare. From my adolescence years to present, I have been caring for children. I have had opportunities to care for children of all ages including infants, toddlers and up to young adults. Some of the children I have assisted with have been premature births, pairs of twins, and developmentally delayed children. Additionally, I’ve cared for children with food allergies, skin allergies, autism, Down Syndrome, ODD, OCD and ADHD. I have served as a Guardian Ad Litem for a child in the foster care system of the state of North Carolina. In that capacity, I acted on the child’s behalf in the court system to provide protection, guidance and support until the child reached the age of adulthood. As I have clearly described, my background has been extensive has in caring for children and their well-being. I find happiness in giving unselfishly to the needs of others. I have been a nanny on a part time basis to a number of families, but now I’m ready to transition into a full time and long term position. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding my experience and your family’s needs. I am delighted to share references with you so that you may communicate openly to discuss my qualifications and experience. I am confident you will find my experience, skill set, work ethic, knowledge, education and overall professionalism at the highest levels. Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to working with you and your family. Very Respectfully, Amber

Hello! My name is Amelia Chapman. I recently transferred to WCU, and I am living in Cullowhee for the summer. I have previously worked as a toddler cheerleading instructor. I would love to become part of your children’s summer time memories!

I have three years of experience in childcare. During this time, I cared for a family’s three children, and at one point, I also watched their family friends' kids, six children in total. As a sitter, I would play games with the kids, jump on the trampoline with them, watch TV, make lunch or dinner, and engage in make-believe play. I have experience with both boys and girls. The children I watched regularly included two girls and one boy. When I first started, the youngest was four, the middle child was seven, and the oldest was nine. I’ve also completed multiple internships in both special education and general education classrooms, working with students up to the fourth grade. I am currently a senior in college majoring in Communication, with a double concentration in Public Relations and Interpersonal & Cultural Communication, and I have a minor in Leadership.

I’m a caring, attentive, and passionate individual who thoroughly enjoys taking care of children. I come from a family of 5 children, so spending time with little ones has been a constant in my life from a very young age. I have 4 years of experience in babysitting & nannying for families of all types, and even more years of experience with family members of my own. In addition to childcare, I can provide cooking, cleaning, meal prep, tutoring, and overnight stays/travel as needed.

Hi! My name is Riley and I've have been working in childcare for the past 5 years! I have been a babysitter since I was 15 years old, and I have also been a summer camp counselor for the past 3 summers! I love spending time with kids because it’s so rewarding to watch them learn, grow, and discover new things every day. Building strong, trusting relationships with each child is important to me, and I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, supported, and valued in my care.

I really love helping out others especially kids. I don't have any experience. But I'm patient, hardworking and respectful. I'm currently talking GED classes at the community college. I don't have any skills or training as of right now.
