Hi families!! My name is Na’Xya Dunn, I am 22 years old and I’ve been working with kids since I was 15. I started volunteering at my church in the kids classroom, but then I started working at my first childcare center and loved it so much. I want to become a pediatric nurse and have had such a love for kids ever since I can remember. I also have two younger brothers I often care for along with my younger cousins. I am very active, friendly, with a bubbly personality kids tend to love. I currently have CPR/AED certification for infants/children as well as adults, SIDS certification, as well as a couple of other certification due to my experience as a lead teacher in a daycare and after school center. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my bio and considering me I hope to meet some of you soon !!

Naxya was a great sitter for my daughter the 2 times that she sat. She was respectful, engaged, and communicative. However, after my urgent and immediate need was fulfilled, I’ve not been able to reach her by personal phone or Sittercity’s messaging tool. I paid her an agreed rate, on time, and both times added a tip. Have no idea what has happened but after investing in a detailed background check and spending hundreds already in care, I would’ve appreciated some communication, as we’d already briefly discussed an ongoing retainer agreement. No one wants different random people watching their child and I’d hoped to have a long-standing caretaker. Back to the drawing board.

I am a 51-year-old mother, and my husband is 66. He is a retired disabled veteran. We are proud parents of two boys and two girls, and we have one wonderful three-year-old grandchild. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in house sitting, pet sitting, and babysitting. I also previously retired from a career in pet nutrition, which gave me valuable knowledge in animal care and wellness. For the past 14 years, I have volunteered at Elevation Church, where I have enjoyed serving my community and building meaningful relationships. In addition, I currently serve as the HOA president in my neighborhood. I truly enjoy caring for others—whether that means children, pets, or homes—and I look forward to meeting your sweet son or daughter! 😊

Ms. Omekia watched my son for the past two days, and we had a wonderful experience. She was punctual, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. Most importantly, my son had a great time with her and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had. She was kind, engaging, and made him feel comfortable right away. I would absolutely recommend her to other families and would be happy to have her watch my son again!
Dennika M.
- 11 years paid experience
- 14 miles
Hi families! My name is Dennika, and I have over 11 years of experience caring for children ranging from weeks old twins to 13+ years old. I’ve worked with both boys and girls in a variety of settings and genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children can feel comfortable and cared for. I earned my degree in Business Administration with a minor in Management and I’m currently pursuing my graduate degree online. My professional background in retail and customer-focused roles has strengthened my organization, communication, multitasking, and time management skills — all of which help me provide dependable and attentive childcare. Working with children has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve served as a youth leader at my church, volunteered in children’s ministry, worked as a summer camp counselor, taught piano lessons, and led ceramics classes for children. These experiences have helped me build patience, creativity, and the ability to connect with kids of different personalities and age groups. I love engaging children through creative activities, reading, music, games, homework support, and encouraging positive routines. Families would describe me as warm, responsible, nurturing, organized, and trustworthy. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide peace of mind through consistency, attentiveness, and genuine care. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and support your childcare needs!

Hi, I'm Matthew! I'm a college student and competitive wrestler with years of hands-on experience working with kids — I've spent summers as a camp counselor leading field trips for school-age campers, worked as a lifeguard responding to emergencies and keeping kids safe around the pool, and coached/refereed youth flag football with i9 Sports. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, patient, high-energy, and good at keeping kids engaged and safe whether we're indoors or out. I'm also bilingual in English and Spanish. I'm reliable, punctual, and take safety seriously — families can count on me to show up and stay locked in the whole time I'm watching their kids.

Allison T.
- 4 years paid experience
- 14 miles
Hello, My name is Allison and I’m the eldest of all of my siblings and cousins, so I have years of childcare experience with children of all ages. I was a live in nanny for two children under the age of 5 for a summer. I am currently an active duty Marine, so I’ve been trained in CPR and other forms of first aid. I drive a 2019 CX-5, so plenty of space for a car seat or booster seat if transportation is needed. I have a clean driving record. I am looking to help out parents who need the occasional babysitter or overnights on weekends. I do work full time, and go to school part-time, so I am am not a good fit for parents who are looking for weekday nanny services! Reach out if you think I can help you!

Burgess watched my daughter while we were living in Beaufort (Pre-pandemic) and she was outstanding! Very reliable, even last minute. My daughter loved her and she was very respectful. She even helped last second for a pet-sitting issue we had while we were out of town. Highly recommended!

We interviewed her for a full time position but then our childcare needs changed suddenly. We really liked her and our 4 yr old daughter seemed to like her immediately (and she is normally shy). Although we did not end up hiring her, I would have felt very comfortable with her watching our kids
