Dawn arrived warm, prepared, and genuinely engaged with our whole family from the moment she walked in. Our little one has always been slow to warm up to new people — new faces almost always mean immediate tears. But within minutes of meeting Dawn, our baby was completely calm and already reaching out to her. It was remarkable to witness. Beyond that natural gift with children, Dawn is thoroughly professional. She is punctual, reliable, and communicative, and she stayed consistent with our routines without ever needing a reminder. She treated our child with exceptional care.

Hello! My name is Kaija. I’m a recent college graduate with a strong sense of responsibility, organization, and care for others. I also run a small baking business, which has helped me develop patience, time management, and the ability to stay calm and focused in busy environments. I’m dependable, attentive to detail, and great at following routines and instructions. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment for children where they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, keeping kids engaged, or simply being a reliable presence, I take pride in making things easier for both parents and children.

Abi has been our child’s go to babysitter since he was 3 weeks old. She is loving, responsible, and caring. We especially love all of her medical background and experience with children. She has made it so easy for us to go out knowing our child is in such safe hands.

I am a Special Education teacher at a local elementary school. Prior to teaching, I spent over 6 years working as a professional nanny, house manager, and newborn overnight care provider. I also have over 3 years experience as a substitute teacher in both private and public schools, as well as an assistant teacher in infant and toddler daycare classrooms. I hold an A.A.S. in Early Childhood Development with certifications in Early Childhood Development and Early Childhood Education, along with a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies with minors in Education and Recreation & Wellness. I will be beginning my Master’s degree at UNCW this fall. I am CPR, First Aid, AED, and Water Safety certified, with extensive experience in allergy safety and EpiPen administration. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns through school age and love creating engaging, play-based experiences that support appropriate development, milestones and preschool readiness. My approach blends hands-on play-based learning, sensory play, arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, and Montessori-inspired activities to foster growth across all areas of development. Families often describe me as nurturing, reliable, and proactive. I strive to create a safe, structured environment where children feel supported, confident, and excited to learn.

I am an elementary school teacher in Hanover County and enjoy spending my summers babysitting. I have two children of my own, an 11 year-old daughter and a 7 year-old son. I have worked with children as far back as I can remember starting with helping in the church nursery to spending most every summer being a Nanny. I still love babysitting whenever I am able. While I am mostly looking to fill some of my time during my summers off, I am also able to help families for date nights, weekends, and school holidays/days off during the school year.

I am 23 years old and recently graduated from college with a degree in Physical Education and a minor in Coaching. As a soon-to-be Physical Education teacher, I love working with children and helping them have fun while staying safe. I have experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs, and I have coached youth sports and led activities for large groups of children. In addition to my teaching experience, I have also babysat children and understand the importance of creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment. My background in education, child development, behavior management, and safety has helped me become patient, responsible, organized, and adaptable to each child’s individual needs. I have a passion for sports, especially basketball, and enjoy using games and activities to keep children active, engaged, and having fun.
