Hi there! My name is Tamar and I'm currently a student at Liberty University for nursing. I have over 7 years of experience and I'm glad to provide references! I have multiple nephews and nieces, several years of babysitting and nannying, teaching experience in my church's children's ministry, and I coordinated a non-profit to increase children's literacy for single moms with young kids. I'm super flexible and I'd love to chat about how I can help you!

Tamar worked with our family for the summer before returning to nursing school. She was such an amazing asset that we want her to work for us next summer. We have four children, four years old and younger, and she was able to manage all of their activities-both educational and fun! She is kind, patient, and creative. She is independent and sets a wonderful routine and schedule that is functional for the family. Her calm demeanor and reliability put my mind at ease knowing that our children were in her care daily. We also used Tamar for date nights and she is so skilled at getting all four children to sleep in a calm way. I highly recommend Tamar for baby sitting or nannying - especially multiple children. She is a rare blessing and we are so lucky to now have her as a part of our family!

I graduated in 2019 with a BA in French and Spanish. I am a very hardworking and caring individual and, I love children. I am very family oriented with a little brother of my own that I have cared for my entire life. He is like a son to me. Before leaving North Carolina where I attended school, I was working every day with children grades K-12 at an after-school program along with my studies and playing basketball. I currently babysit regularly for several local families. I have been working professionally in childcare since 2017, and babysitting since I was 16 years old. I have experience with working with children one on one and/or multiple children in a group setting, so babysitting multiple children is no problem for me. In addition to assisting the children with homework and other academic assignments, I was an art and language teacher at the after school program mentioned above, and a tutor as well. I still currently tutor. I would be willing to work with your child on those things while babysitting. I am CPR certified and have BLS training. I believe in being very active and hands-on with activities because that is the best way to learn and play ! General availability: weekends/evenings/nights

Hi! I’m Annemarie! I have paid childcare experience as both a nanny and a teacher, and I’ve cared for children from infancy through high school. I’m very comfortable with infant care, routines, and supporting kids at different developmental stages! I’m calm, dependable, and truly love caring for children! Clear communication with parents is really important to me. As a new mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously while keeping things warm, safe, and positive! I’m excited to connect with a family and would love to chat to see if we’re a great fit!

Hi! My name is Larissa, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient babysitter who truly enjoys supporting families and creating a safe, happy environment for children. I completed a babysitting course through my local hospital at age 12 and have since babysat for five different families on and off over the years. During COVID, I spent nearly every day caring for a family’s two children along with their dog, new puppy, and cat, helping with playtime, routines, and daily care. I still babysit for them occasionally and remain in touch, which means a lot to me. The kids even say I’m their favorite babysitter because I’m fun, kind, and attentive. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, creative games, and helping with homework while keeping screen time balanced. I’m also happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, tidying play areas, laundry, and light household tasks to make your day easier. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and communicate clearly with parents. I’m available for one-time, last-minute, or recurring care, and I would love the opportunity to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your family.
