Alexis K.
- 2 years paid experience
- 13 miles
I'm a dependable, caring nanny who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and supporting families. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel comfortable being themselves. Whether we're doing creative activities, spending time outdoors, helping with developmental milestones or simply following a consistent routine. I bring patience, reliability, and a calm approach to each day. I understand that every family is unique, and I take pride in adapting to each child's personality and needs while maintaining open communication with parents. My goal is to be a trusted, supportive presence that helps make family life run a little more smoothly. I look forward to building meaningful connections and providing attentive, compassionate care.

Alexis watched out 1.5 year old daughter for a few hours when we were in a pinch to find a sitter. She showed up early and navigated a new child and situation great.

I am an loving and responsible mother of a beautiful young lady. I have over 40 years experience caring for children in private homes and in licensed day care centers. I successfully raised my daughter alone. She is now a college graduate and is employed in her field of study. I also have over 30 years as a cook/chef, both privately and in day cares, hospitals, hotels, and senior living centers. I also have creative and artistic talent, which in the past has helped with not just school projects, homework, but also with activities to help to build a child's imagination. I enjoy cooking, sports, playing games, reading and arts and crafts.

Maureen was absolutely incredible with our girls! I have a 2 year old and 3 month old and she was able to watch them throughout a long weekend when we had numerous events to attend. My 2yr old is quite active and energetic and Maureen kept up with entertaining her amazingly. She also was so kind and sweet with my littlest one. It was such a piece of mind to have her as our sitter while we were on our trip and she truly treated them like family.

Hi, my name is Valerie and I am interested in part-time childcare work. I am a mom of 5 Vikings ( as my husband and I call them). My two oldest have moved out, and I have 2 in High School and 1 in Community College. I have been a stay-at-home mom for (most of) 23 yrs. I started following my kids to school, and volunteering in classrooms until the school finally hired me! When I realized that my kids would rather be with their friends I decided it was time to get out of the house. My neighbor agreed and offered me up as a nanny for friends of hers. I obtained my CPR certification and accepted a temporary Nanny position, part-time, for an infant. I so enjoyed my time with a little again! My position ended when circumstances changed and the family moved from the area. Since that first job, I’ve had a family in town for two days for work and hired me to care for their infant for a few days. Then two very lovely families who each only needed me part of the week became my primary jobs and kept my schedule full. Then it happened. A job offer for Husband, in Michigan. Since we are originally from Michigan, we made the very difficult decision to move. Yay Husband. Bummer to leave the families I had been a part of. Pre-Husband and Vikings, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Earth Science at Central Michigan University. Being a bit of a wanderer, I found myself in Chicago working at an Ad Agency! My family and I moved to Greensboro about 8yrs ago, and loved having both mountains and Ocean available for our adventures. However, the never ending heat and humidity will not be missed. I enjoy getting outdoors daily, and perhaps it’s the Earth Science background, but I love taking the little ones outside and introducing them to the trees, flowers, birds, whatever we come across. Kids are such natural sponges, they soak it all in. Having the opportunity to smell or touch or hold something greatly improves their understanding of their environment.

Hello! My name is Moriah, and I am a dedicated, compassionate babysitter and caregiver with over 12 years of experience working with children from infancy through age 18. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Human Development, and I am First Aid and CPR certified, ensuring your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities.

I bring a calm, nurturing presence, strong communication skills, and an understanding of child development to every family I work with. In addition to childcare, I also have 3 years of professional cleaning experience, allowing me to help maintain an organized, clean, and comfortable environment for your home.

Moriah has been one of our children’s sitters for years! She is an excellent choice to watch your children. She is reliable, kind and energetic. She took the time to really get to know our children so that each time they are together is memorable and fun. She is always quick to respond to messages and keeps us up to date when watching the kids. She is respectful of our guidelines for the kids activities, food choices and discipline. She is our go too and the kids are disappointed when she isn’t available.

Although we ended up getting an international au pair instead of a local nanny, Dianna was prompt and communicated well during our interview process. I could tell she was genuinely interested in children and felt she would have been a great fit for my family. If the au pair doesn't work out, I will definitely call Dianna first thing!
Mikayla W.

Hello! My name is Mikayla Warner. I have been working with kids my whole life but started actually getting paid for it when I was 15. Growing up with 3 younger siblings, I learned from a young age how to navigate through many different situations. I have 3 Associate Degrees in Criminal Justice, Occupational Studies, and Liberal Arts. I'm 25 years old & married, and while I don't have any kids of my own yet, my husband's family is quite large so I have over 20 nieces and nephews ranging from all ages. I have built individual bonds and gained trust with each of them, including the ones who were older (9-14) and love each as if they are my own. I have worked at multiple daycare centers, nannied for a couple different families, am certified in first aid, CPR, and was raised by not one but two police officers so I always pay attention to my surroundings. I believe that all play is learning - whether it's jumping in mud puddles and learning about worms, or making macaroni necklaces for hand-Eye coordination, count me in!!

We hired Mikalya in May 2026 to watch our then 4 month old 3 days a week in a nanny share with another family with an 8 month old until we got our spot in daycare. It has been a great experience. Working remotely, I have had the opportunity to observe her skills firsthand. She has been proficient in figuring out and balancing both baby's schedules and needs and soothes two crying babies like a pro. She is communicative, reliable, and punctual. We plan to retain her as a babysitter after we start daycare.
