Find experienced babysitters in Waynesville, NC

Hi there! My name is Kara and I’m 30 years old. Currently, I work as a full time professional nanny for a 1 year old girl! I have cared for children ranging from newborn (few days old) all the way up to middle school age with several years experience. The best qualities to describe me would be honest, outgoing, trustworthy, creative, and fun. I'm also CPR certified and first aid certified. In my spare time I like to spend time at the beach, spend time with friends, stay active, reading books, doing anything outdoors, or doing really anything to stay busy. Patience is key and children are my passion. I have also taken multiple classes regarding newborns, infants, and toddlers based upon safety, general care, and sleep conditioning!! Last but not least, I’m a certified advanced newborn care specialist, in a self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified postpartum doula, as well as another self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant! Hope to hear from you!

I have been a professional nanny in the past for 10 years and have been doing temporary nanny jobs for another 10 years, especially with infants and toddlers. I have babysitting experience since I was 12 years old with every kind of child you can imagine! I have two years of professional experience as a paraprofessional with autistic children. I have a degree in Art Therapy & most of a master’s degree in nutrition, can teach baby sign language & focus on Montessori style play, and I also have a diploma in Professional Massage Therapy. I have also taught ESL online to children in China! I’m vaccinated and boostered and CPR/First Aid certified. AKA, the baby whisperer, kids love me and I love kids! I’m currently available to create connections with families for the month of December 2024, one-time/short-term babysitting gigs or occasional overnights!! I’m super thrilled to meet you and your children!

I am a fun, energetic, creative/thinking outside of the box, harding working, and flexible person. I have been a special education teacher for 13 years and have recently taken a step back from the classroom setting working toward a semi-retirement lifestyle. I love working with children and will greatly miss this part of my teaching job. I am very knowledgeable in child development, teaching strategies for a diverse group of learners, working with behaviors that can be challenging at times, learning through play, and I have a lot of patience. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I love being outdoors and exploring new places on hikes and playing in my vegetable and flower gardens. I am very active and love learning new things. I have excellent references.

Hello, my name is Kendall Owen. I previously worked at an early childhood center located in Waynesville,nc. That work environment showed me how much I love to work with children and see them grow. Some daily tasks I would do from day to day would include of course care for the child/children(weather that’s for when they are feeling upset or sick etc.)food preparation, cleaning and time management. As of right now I have my cpr training, my Sid’s training and my first aid training.

Hello! I am a 35 year old professional loving life as a Nanny and Family Assistant! I have 15+ years of experience working directly with children ages 3 months-10 years, plus mentoring teens. My passions include music, art, cooking, gardening and the outdoors. I love finding creative activities to do with the children in my care that promote growth and self expression, and I love encouraging children to look at their surroundings to learn and discover new things. Whether that means going for a nature walk, cooking fresh picked veggies, or making a mess while we paint, I believe a child learns best when given the freedom to explore and ask questions in a safe and nurturing environment, and I love being part of that process! Training beyond my college degree includes a Child Development Certification, and I am CPR and First Aid certified.
