Shelby has been a great fit for our family! She is so great with my boys and has a great personality for connecting with them. She is always punctual, has a great attitude, and is someone you can count on. I appreciate her flexibility and ability to help out even at short notice. I can't recommend her enough and am so glad I found her!

Hi. I have many years of unpaid childcare experience…helping out friends and family. But I also had an in-home childcare for 12 years. The only reason I stopped doing this was because we moved into an apartment and no longer had the space to accommodate this. Most of the children started with me at about three months old, and stayed with me until they entered kindergarten. I have many references and I am infant through adult CPR and first aid certified. During those 12 years I kept the number of children at five, for more individual attention. I always had five, and they were full-time. We danced to silly songs, did crafts, baked, loved being outside, and just enjoy being kids. I am a loving, creative, and trustworthy person. I have always had a big heart for children, and all people really. I would love to meet you and see if you feel like I am a great fit for you and your family. 😊

Ms. Krissy was my children’s favorite person for several years while we were with her! They even invited her to every birthday party :) She always had a fun activity planned and the kids had a blast. My husband and I always felt that our children were well cared for when we were away and highly recommend her to others.

Having a degree in early childhood, for the past twenty years, I have watched infants, toddlers, older children and twins. I find it rewarding to be involved in the toddler years with all the major learning and natural curiosity present during that age. In my previous childcare positions, the child and I have enjoyed visits to the library, park, and daily neighborhood walks. Walks always provide fun opportunities for observation of nature, squirrels, flowers, and outside activities. Keeping schedules and familiar routines has been a priority for me in working with young children. I believe it gives them a healthy sense of expectation and promotes security throughout their day. My past experience and knowledge of infants is an asset. I have cared for several children since birth and even have been called a “baby whisperer” due to my ability to identify their unspoken needs. I was also the “lead teacher” in the birth-to-crawlers nursery every Sunday at a church for several years. Infants are like little sponges picking up new surroundings in their world. I have watched several infants as well as being their first official nanny. I enjoy being an "observer" as they experience their first smiles, tastes, steps and new initial skills. I truly enjoy all children and as they grow, they grow on me!

I am so happy to recommend Linda (aka. Mrs. G). She has been a wonderful nanny for our 4 yr old daughter for the last year. She is absolutely reliable. I never had to worry about her being on time to pick up my daughter. She showed lots of creativity, fun and energy, playing games, doing crafts projects, working on puzzles, among lots of others. She went on walks, outings to the pool or to Lewis Ginter Garden. Our daughter had fun and was happy and looked after when I got home. One of the best things about working with Mrs. G is that she is just a great person. She is thoughtful and kind. She focuses on doing good deeds and is a wonderful role model. The only reason we are making a change at this point (because Mrs. G has been wonderful and I am sad to make a change) is that my mother and mother-in-law are taking over the responsibility of watching Isabella. Really, I cannot speak highly enough about Mrs. G. She is great! Please feel free to contact me if needed.

Ariyanna B.
- 4 years paid experience
- 15 miles
Hello, my name is Ariyanna! I am a very energetic and nurturing sitter with 4+ years of childcare experience between working as a babysitter for family, as well as an assistant teacher in a daycare working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. There, I assisted with mealtime, diapering and cleaning while also having a small hand in lesson planning and teaching crafts, so I am willing to create fun, educational and developmental activities for me and your child to do. I have my own personal car, so transportation will never be an issue, and running errands for you is within my ability if needed. I also love a nice outing to parks, public libraries, and indoor playgrounds if parents are comfortable of course. Currently I am in the process of earning my ECE certification and am willing to put skills and knowledge Im actively learning to use! I am also first aid and cpr certified and will never mind hanging out with a furry friend or three!! :-)

Ariyanna was a great nanny! She cared for our 4-5 month old. Not only did provide excellent care for our baby with authenticity but did so with consistent communication with us as parents. She is flexible and understanding. We were able to see our baby develop quickly and Ariyanna’s role in that was evident.

Hello Mrs. Chimelle here! I'm 44 years old and a mother of 2 grown children ages 27 and 21 and a wife. I come from a background of child care providers. My grandmother was a childcare provider and owned her own daycare for many years. I learned a lot from a young age and continue to work with families. I started working in Pediatric dentistry 19 years ago where I also learned to build bonds and trust with many children of various ages including those with special needs. I left dentistry 8 years ago and that's when I started with my passion of wanting to provide families with child care. I've worked with many different families over 7 years and the family I've been with the longest has been 7 years. It's truly amazing to see children go over the years and become their own person. To build bonds with them and see them develop any many different ways, we truly become family! I've worked with children from infancy up until teenage years. I provide love, understanding, growth, and trust within my kids I work with. I am CPR and first aid certified as well. Honesty and respect are a huge part of me and what I do and I look forward to hearing from you!
