Hi. Im Elizabeth, a recent graduate from Fayetteville State University. Im currently looking for additional income outside of working on my small business. I love children and spend time with my nieces and nephews on a regular basis. I previously worked for Farmers daycare, and still help as needed there. I now have free time during the week and some time on weekends to spare as well. I have started a nonprofit institute to work with youth on achieving their dreams, mentoring them, and tutoring as well. I have always been seen as the mothering kind amongst my friends, coworkers and family. I am available to start today!

Hello, future families! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and an Associate of Arts degree, with over 10 years of experience working with children from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of supporting children in various settings, including as a School Social Worker, Foster Care Social Worker, and One-on-One Support for a student with epilepsy. I’ve also worked as a Teacher in Early Head Start, a Kindergarten Assistant Teacher, and a Daycare Teacher. In addition to my professional background, I have experience working with children with disabilities, which has deepened my understanding and appreciation for different learning and care needs. Above all, I am passionate about working with children, and that love extends to my own 3-year-old, who keeps me on my toes! I am dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for children to thrive in, and I’m excited to bring my skills and experience to babysitting. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones!

Hi! I'm Kayla and I go by Dani :) I'm 24 years old and while most of my work experience is in retail management I recently discovered that guiding children is what I'm passionate about. I've been babysitting on and off for a few years and most of my experience is with toddlers and children! I follow the 'gentle parenting' approach and practice Montessori guiding. I am not AMI certified yet but am very interested in doing so. While babysitting/nannying I like to encourage motor skills, speech skills, and helping the child understand the emotions they're feeling and healthy ways to deal with them. In my free time I like to crochet, read, play games on my computer/switch and go antiquing :)

Hi! My name is Nana, but people call me Elisabeth. I am a married mother of 3 that I raised to adulthood. By the grace of God they are great reliable men and woman today. As a Christian, moral values like love, integrity, caring, respect and responsibility are very important to me. I am committed to passing them on to the children and elders in my care. I can assure you that your loved one (s) in my care will feel safe and loved. As a babysitter, I can offer fun and educational activities as well as moments of sharing and discovery based on Christian values. I also write and speak fluently French, which I can teach or communicate with your loved ones. I have lots of experience watching over children and my siblings. I also have cared for a non verbal autistic child. As an elderly caregiver, I can assure you that your loved one will be in good hands and they will know that they are loved. I am from a huge family with many elderly people that I have watched over, including my own grand mother. I also have worked as a caregiver for an elderly lady in Fayetteville. It is also important to let you know that no foul word come out of my lips, I do not smoke, nor drink alcohol, nor use any drugs. I would rather work with families that share those same values. I am available for live-in and live-out jobs. I describe myself as a very simple and reliable person who loves people. May God bless you. Thanks
