Find experienced child care providers in Bess, AL

My husband and I are "empty nesters". I miss the joy and fun of being around children. I was a nanny throughout college and currently sit for friend and family when needed. I am considered the "fun aunt" by my nieces and nephews.

Hi, I’m April! I’m a kind, dependable, and loving sitter who truly enjoys helping families feel supported and cared for. I’ve raised my own children and spent years caring for kids in my family and community. I understand what it takes to keep children safe, happy, and engaged—from daily routines to story time and everything in between. I treat every child like they’re my own, and every home with the respect it deserves. Whether you need someone for after-school care, weekend help, or full-time support, I bring patience, reliability, and warmth into every role. I’m also happy to assist with light cleaning, snacks, and making sure your little ones feel loved while you’re away. If you’re looking for a sitter who shows up with heart, I’d love the opportunity to support your family. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from newborns to school-aged kids—through both personal and professional experience. I’ve raised my own children, helped with my nieces and nephews, and provided care for families who needed a reliable and nurturing sitter. I also have experience with children who have unique needs and can adapt to different routines and personalities. CPR & First Aid trained (or you can say: “Willing to get certified” if not yet) • Patient, calm, and caring under pressure • Strong time management and organization skills • Light meal prep and snack handling • Bathing, dressing, and bedtime routines • Activity planning (arts, crafts, reading, playtime) • Comfortable with pets • Respectful of family privacy, home rules, and special instructions

Hi families! My name is Natasha and I specialize in caring for infants and young children. I’m calm, patient, and highly attentive to developmental needs during the most important early stages of life. I support families with bottle feeding, nap routines, diapering, sensory play, early stimulation activities, and gentle transitions like diaper-to-potty training. I also have experience working with older children, including planning activities, crafts, outdoor play, and helping maintain healthy routines that build confidence and independence. I am CPR & First Aid certified, fluent in English and Portuguese, and I value clear communication with parents to ensure routines stay consistent and aligned with your family’s goals. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I would love to learn more about your child and how I can support your family 💛

I have a degree in Elementary Education, am CPR and First Aid certified, and work full time as the 3K lead teacher at a church preschool. I am also working towards my CDA in preschool through the school which I am employed. I began babysitting when I was around ten, first as a "junior" babysitter for my sister and mother, and then alone as I got older. I have over 20 years experience babysitting children from infants through middle school age, and have worked in a childcare setting for 15 of those years. I also volunteered working with the youth at my church in the past, mostly with middle school girls. Although some ages and personalities are more challenging than others, I always find it rewarding working with children. They see the joy and wonder in things we take for granted, and I am always learning something from them. I love music and reading, as well as doing arts and crafts, playing games, and baking. Since I work full time during the week, I am only available weekends and evenings.

Hi, I have a passion for impacting and caring for children of any age. While new to the nanny/sitter profession I will contribute to a safe, caring, nurturing, and stimulating environment in which the children thrive and develop. I have CPR and first aid certificate. I also have a car. I would love to take part in the growth of your children.

Hello, My name is JaShelle. I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. Hence, the reason why I love southern soul food :) In my free time I enjoy making craft projects, reading, practicing calligraphy, walking the trails at my local park, cooking, and trying new restaurants. My background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth began when I became a volunteer sitter at my church. I transitioned to babysitting for various families throughout my years of completing college. During that time I gained skills and knowledge that have elevated my childcare journey. My love for witnessing children learn and grow encouraged my decision to become a childcare provider and Doula. Building a great rapport and relationship with your child is my top priority. I'm kind, patient and nurturing, and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with your family!

Hi families! My name is Katherin, I'm 27 and originally from Colombia. I have a degree in Communications and Journalism, but I've always genuinely loved working with kids. I have experience caring for toddlers and young children, including working at a daycare in Colombia, being an Au Pair in the U. S. I currently work at the gym’s Kids Club, where I care for children of different ages while parents work out! I'm certified in Basic Life Support (CPR & AED) and First Aid. I live in McCalla, have reliable transportation and speak both English and Spanish (happy to offer bilingual exposure). I love fitness, music, reading, animals and I genuinely enjoy working with kids and supporting families. I like creating a safe and fun environment where children stay active and feel comfortable being themselves!

I am 21 years old and I grew up with 7 younger brothers and 4 younger sisters. I've grown up in a house full of kids so I am used to the excitement and messes of children. I have babysat for years when my parents were busy or at work. I also babysat a few other kids after I turned 15, one which was the sweetest little boy I've ever met. He did have autism and it was a little tricky to always make him happy but I tried the best I could and we always had a great time. I currently live on my own so I am capable of cooking, cleaning, doing laundry or running errands. I plan on having children of my own within the next few years so I would love to get as much experience as I can with other kids. Although I have a lot of siblings and that should be enough experience, not every kid is the same. I would love to be able to help parents as much as I can because I know when I become one I'm gonna need that help sometimes too.
