Margaret M., Babysitter in Raleigh, NC 27613 with 12 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Maggie and I am a Registered Nurse, but I love to occasionally help out some families with date nights or last minute care. I started paid-babysitting when I was 14 years old, but through my rather large family, I have extensive experience in caring for multiple children at one time, ranging from infants to middle school aged kids. I am CPR & First Aid certified, but most of all I love being around kids! Caring for kids is a real joy for me, and I love to be active with them and show them a good time.

Maggie has been a sitter for us several times and we would definitely recommend her. Our boys (ages 5 and 7) get really excited to see her. She comes up with fun activities for them to do so they aren’t asking to watch the TV. She has come through for us in a pinch and has been reliable and quick to respond to requests. Highly recommend her!

Maura M., Babysitter in Raleigh, NC 27613 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!

Becky  B., Babysitter in Raleigh, NC 27613 with 40 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Becky Burmester. I am an active grandma of 5 and was a foster parent for 25 years. With more time on my hands, I have recent babysitting references. I would love to help out other families. I have experience with all ages of children but most extensive experience with infants. I am first aid certified and cpr certified. I am COVID vaccinated. My philosophy is that as a sitter my sole job is to interact with the child(ren) and supervise all activities. I live near Buffalo and New Hope Roads. I am pet friendly.

We feel so lucky to have found Becky. She has watched our children twice and even rescued us last minute when another sitter cancelled, and each time she has been absolutely wonderful. She brings such a calm, experienced presence. It’s clear she’s very comfortable with children and knows how to balance being kind and warm while also maintaining clear boundaries. Our preschooler took to her immediately. On Valentine’s Day we returned home to lovely painted cards that were so special. As parents, the reliability and peace of mind she provides are invaluable. Knowing someone so capable and thoughtful is with our children allows us to truly relax while we’re out. We’re incredibly grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a dependable, experienced, and caring sitter.

I'm a Registered Dental Assistant. I enjoy being able to work with younger children and being able to provide helpful care and teaching them educational lessons such as the alphabet, numbers, and being involved in fun activities! My previous experience working with younger children was at a daycare center as a Teachers Assistant with toodlers. My duties that I provided were reviewing materials and lessons with the children, teach proper behavior and rules that needed to be followed in the classrooms, keeping track of attendance, and interacting and being involved with the children. I am First Aid/CPR certified!

We had a wonderful experience with Barbara! She was amazing with my 2-year-old son—he connected with her right away and didn’t want her to leave at the end of the day, which says everything. She came prepared with toys that kept him engaged and happy, and she handled his routine perfectly. She even got him down smoothly for his nap, which isn’t always easy. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful babysitter.

Hi! I’m Aubrey, a student at NC State studying Biology and preparing to start nursing school soon.

I enjoy staying active, helping with routines, crafts, outdoor activities, homework, and just being someone families can rely on. Between healthcare and childcare, I’ve learned how to stay calm, organized, and caring in busy situations, and I genuinely love working with children!

We’ve had a very positive experience with Aubrey. She is punctual, communicative, and wonderful with our son. He always seems very happy and comfortable around her, and we appreciate the care and attention she gives him. We continue to work with her and have appreciated all of her help. We would highly recommend Aubrey to other families looking for a babysitter.

Katie C., Babysitter in Raleigh, NC 27613 with 15 years of paid experience

I have over 15 years of experience as a nanny and a babysitter and have excellent references, as well as experience with multicultural and multi-generational families. I enjoy helping children grow, learn, and just be happy. With a degree in English, I have the skills to help kids with their homework. CPR and First Aid certified, available mornings, evenings, and weekends. My favorite activities with younger children include Lego's, trains, dress up, arts and crafts, games, reading, etc. The families I have supported have retained me from kindergarten through high school, and we have maintained lasting relationships. They have entrusted me with driving their children to school drop off and pick up, sporting activities, grocery shopping, and so on. If you are looking for a regular, reliable, loving baby sitter, contact me. I am also available to organize your home and do light housework. I live in Garner. Commuting is not a problem. I am also available for date nights. I can give you references after we speak.
