Find local babysitters in Whittier, 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 am CPR/First aid certified. I am the lead teacher of the one year old toddler room. I have my early childhood education credentials. I am experienced with working with children with special needs & disabilities. I watch 10 one year olds daily, so I am capable of focusing on the needs of multiple children.

Hello! My name is Amelia Chapman. I recently transferred to WCU, and I am living in Cullowhee for the summer. I have previously worked as a toddler cheerleading instructor. I would love to become part of your children’s summer time memories!

While I may be newer to babysitting specifically, I bring valuable experience working with children and a deep passion for nurturing their creativity and individuality. In my previous role, I worked with kids on a daily basis, primarily guiding them through a variety of arts and crafts activities. I loved seeing how much joy and confidence they gained through creative expression, and I’m a firm believer in the importance of hands-on learning and exploration. In addition to my love for the arts, I have a strong appreciation for nature and enjoy sharing that with others—especially children. Whether it's a walk outside or simply time spent observing the world around us, I believe nature offers essential enrichment for the body and mind. Creating a safe, welcoming space for every child is one of my core values. I’ve had many meaningful interactions with neurodivergent individuals, including family members and close friends, and I approach these experiences with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to learn. I do my best to accommodate sensory needs and boundaries, and I always aim to validate children’s feelings—whether they’re feeling overstimulated or just excited to share their favorite interests (I love a good info-dump)! Children are truly incredible, and I feel honored to support their growth, expression, and sense of wonder. As a caretaker, my goal is to hold space for kids to be exactly who they are and feel fully safe while doing so.

I love being a sitter because I know I get to help not only the parents out, but also the kids. I’ve been babysitting for around 3 years now and also volunteer at a school for special needs. I love being able to take care of children and be there for the parents.

I’m a caring, attentive, and passionate individual who thoroughly enjoys taking care of children. I come from a family of 5 children, so spending time with little ones has been a constant in my life from a very young age. I have 4 years of experience in babysitting & nannying for families of all types, and even more years of experience with family members of my own. In addition to childcare, I can provide cooking, cleaning, meal prep, tutoring, and overnight stays/travel as needed.

I'm a current college student, I have 4 years of summer camp experience, and I started babysitting when I was 12. Most of my experience is in the ages of 2-5, though I am comfortable with 3months- 14 years. I am easily able to adapt and function well in fast-paced or high-pressure situations. I will gladly engage in active play and any imaginative scenarios that they come up with. And most importantly, I am willing to try new or challenging things! I am most available on weekends or evenings and late nights. Contact me if you think I would be a good match!

I really love helping out others especially kids. I don't have any experience. But I'm patient, hardworking and respectful. I'm currently talking GED classes at the community college. I don't have any skills or training as of right now.

Hi Everyone! I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Emergency Medical Care and Communications at WCU. I am a certified Paramedic at the state and national levels. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and Basic Life Support. I have over 4 years of experience. I am the oldest of 5, with my youngest brother being 2. I have lots of experience with families, including working days, overnights, away on vacation, and more. I would love to work with you to gain a positive and comfortable experience with your children, whether that be homework help, fun day outings, or simple housework. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested, and I would love to chat more.

I'm a Recent Graduate at WCU with a BS in Psychology, and I have a deep passion for working with children. I've been babysitting for over five years and have experience with children 2 weeks to 10 years old. In addition to babysitting, I've volunteered in Sunday school and youth church programs, worked at the Boys & Girls Club, and spent a year as an Exceptional Children's Teaching Assistant (ECTA). In that role, I worked directly with children with autism, ADHD, and other support needs. These experiences have strengthened my ability to nurture children's learning, creativity, and emotional growth. I'm comfortable caring for kids of all ages and Im happy to help even when little ones are feeling under the weather. I'm also a big dog lover! However, due to a severe cat allergy, I wouldn't be the right fit for homes with cats. I'd love to connect with families in need of a dependable, caring nanny. Please feel free to reach out with any questions-I'd be happy to chat!
