Karolay R., Babysitter in Matthews, NC 28105 with 1 year of paid experience

I have always enjoyed working with children because I love supporting their growth, watching them learn, and helping them have fun safely. Being a babysitter allows me to combine my patience and creativity to provide a safe, joyful, and stimulating environment. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, both at home and in extracurricular activities. My skills include effective communication, conflict resolution, routine organization, planning educational and creative activities, assisting with homework, preparing healthy meals, and supervising outdoor play. Additionally, I have completed courses in childcare and safety, allowing me to provide responsible, reliable, and adaptable care for each family. I'm new to this app. I'm a Spanish speaker with basic English skills. Give me a chance to show my love for children. Thanks Note: Right now I'm taking care of an infant on Monday to Friday 9am - 2pm

Rebeca  L., Babysitter in Matthews, NC 28105 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello dear families! I've been an Au-pair for three wonderful families with kids in between 2 and 11 years old, pets always being a big and important part of the families as well. After my last au pair experience I worked as a FT Nanny for an amazing family and their 14 months old little lady, following a season working in a high school as a Distance Learning Assistant in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools district in NC. I have a diverse background and have used au-pairing and 'nannying' as a great tool to explore different places, and immerse myself deeper in the US culture. I'm a native Spanish speaker, originally from Venezuela and a Materials Engineer by profession. My whole path ended up taking me into working in different areas like tourism, winemaking, childcare, among others. I'm currently based in NOVA and do volunteer at a doggies and kitties shelter in the area. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have, listen to your needs, so we can work together towards fulfilling then and hopefully become part of your amazing journey! Thank you, Rebeca

Eva  S., Babysitter in Matthews, NC 28105 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Eva, and I'm a 20-year-old nursing student who genuinely loves working with children. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable while giving parents peace of mind. I have over two years of paid babysitting experience with families outside of my own, along with several years of caring for children of family and friends. I've worked with children ranging from 10 months old through high school and am comfortable caring for multiple children at once. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, preparing simple meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or keeping little ones entertained, I'm happy to adapt to each family's needs. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and CPR certified, and my nursing education has given me valuable knowledge in child safety, communication, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and committed to providing reliable, compassionate care that families can trust.

Eva was the first non-family member to babysit our 1 year old. Finding someone we trusted was scary, but she came recommended from a friend and we loved her. I felt comfortable with her right off the bat. Her knowledge and experience working with babies is amazing. She just "gets" what she needs to do without any hesitation or worry. She was so confident (but not in a cocky way) which eased any uncertainty, and the fact that she is in school to be a nurse was a HUGE bonus. We would trust her with our baby girl over and over again. I highly (highly, highly, highly...) recommend!!

Flavia  V., Babysitter in Matthews, NC 28105 with 23 years of paid experience

Hello Parents, I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) sitter with over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers, including those with special needs. In addition to babysitting, I also work as a Household Manager, Nanny, Pet Sitter, and House Sitter, offering well-rounded support for busy families. My approach is simple: a balance of engaging play and calm structure. I prioritize safety above all, while following your household routines to provide consistency and stability. Most importantly, I focus on creating a positive, nurturing environment so children feel happy, comfortable, and secure while you’re away. I enjoy activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and creative projects, and I’m always happy to support homework and learning. I can also assist with meal prep, light housekeeping, school pick-ups/drop-offs, swimming supervision, and travel if needed. I have over 60 excellent reviews and references from families I’ve worked with. I am CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, non-drinker, and I have reliable transportation. I truly love what I do—I enjoy connecting with children, telling stories, singing, and making everyday moments fun and meaningful. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and support your daily routine. Flavia “Let me make your life easier”

Flavia was amazing and surpassed expectations. She pivoted smoothly when my daughter didn't nap. She was engaging to my child. I was confident and comfortable when I left. Great with the dog, too. Highly recommended for her communication, kind heart, and flexibility.

Hi! I'm Kalysia 😊 I'm an elementary school teacher with CMS, a former lead staff member for an after-school enrichment program, and most importantly, a mom to an adventurous 2.5-year-old who keeps me on my toes!
