Omekia M., Babysitter in Locust, NC 28097 with 25 years of paid experience

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!

Burgess M., Babysitter in Locust, NC 28097 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Gess, short for Burgess! I have worked with children in many settings as a nanny or a teacher assistant! I work with families to provide a fun and safe learning environment for littles. I love to explore with children whether it is to the park or a trip to the children’s museum. I hope I get the opportunity to take care of your children and get to know your family!

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!

Matthew G., Babysitter in Locust, NC 28097 with 1 year of paid experience

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.

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

Allison T., Babysitter in Locust, NC 28097 with 4 years of paid experience

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!
