Find experienced child care providers in Alexander, NC

Hi there. My name is Jessie. I graduated from UNC-Asheville in 2002 with degrees in Psychology and Reading Education. Since that time, I've accumulated over two decades of diverse experience working with young children and their families as a preschool teacher, private nanny, and Early Learning Program administrator in our community. Some of my strengths as a caregiver include open/honest communication with families, maintaining a growth-mindset, creativity/imaginative play, de-escalation, outdoor learning, and household organization. I love pets/animals, spending time outside, music, messy art, and thrive when/where I can be helpful. Ideally, I'm looking for a family or families of infant/toddler aged children to sign on with for at least one year (up to three years, if it continues to feel like an awesome fit!) who need care during my posted open schedule. I do keep my availability up to date, to help expedite the process of finding care. I'm also open to some flexible scheduling on weekends and evenings, if needed. If you think I may be a great fit for your family, I'd love to connect with you to further discuss my experience and qualifications. Many super references available upon request. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hello! My name is Willa Boothe! I am 25 years old and I graduated from Penn state University! I am a High School Spanish teacher during the year and in the Summers I am a full time nanny. I am looking for other babysitting jobs at night or on the weekends. I have experience with all ages!

I absolutely adore connecting, caring for, and exploring with children! I am first aid and CPR certified. I have 4 years of experience with paid babysitting, as well as 15 years of experience watching kids of all ages (including infants) for family and friends. Last summer, I was a full time mountain bike lead camp counselor for 6-8 year olds, planning daily/weekly schedules and ensuring proper care in regard to heat index and food consumption. It was such a rewarding experience to watch the kids learn and grow confidence in their abilities while maintaining safety as a top priority! I have immense patience and meet children where they are. I am comfortable and have experience with animals of all sizes. I can cook, meal prep, clean, help with homework (I have a BA in Mathematics and Statistics and tutoring experience), handle appointments, and I have my own car with a good driving record. I love being creative and active as well! This includes designing engaging activities suited to the child's preferences. I'd love to be a great addition to your family's resources :)

Hey! My name is Caroline Hensley, I am from Weaverville NC. I am currently 23 years old. I love kids, I have had tons of experience with watching years anywhere between 7mo.- 17. I previously worked with the YMCA Summer child care as a camp counselor. I also did an internship at NBHS working in the daycare. Snack time, nap time, and recess time was given each day. I am also CPR certified. I was originally going to ETSU for elementary education before I switched career paths. I have a clean background. I currently babysit occasionally for 5+ families. I have a ton of references. I truly hope you chose to consider my fun, enthusiastic, smiling soul.

I have been blessed with a lifetime of involvement with children. Having much older siblings, I was a child aunt. I have one son aged 33, plus helped raise a second child during his preschool years. I am a licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant with training in childcare but not currently employed in healthcare. For the last 2 years I have been a nanny for 2 girls, now 4 months and 24 month. I work on Sundays at a church nursery and can't get enough of all aged children.

My name is Bryn and I graduated a year and half ago from Cal Poly with my Bachelors. I have over seven years of babysitting/nannying experience, with children mainly from 8 months and up. I nannied full time during 2020 for one year for two toddlers (14 months and 2.5 years at the start). Most of my other experience has been with 1-2-year-old toddlers as I worked part time for three years at a local Church's childcare programs and I absolutely loved it. I also have experience with a variety of special needs children and multiples.

Hey there! I’m Virginia, and I’m a recent college graduate who relocated to Asheville in August 2022. I have twelve years of babysitting experience under my belt, as I’ve been an active childcare provider for families in my neighborhood and extended community since I was in middle school. I am a communicative, personable, and reliable sitter who brings creativity and energy to every nannying experience I pursue. My personal passions include reading, writing, playing guitar, watercoloring, collaging, cooking, and baking, which means I love to design hands-on, artistic activities with the children I care for. Additionally, I love being outdoors, hiking, biking, and enjoying nature, which means walks, playground time, and backyard fun are all favorite parts of my babysitting days. I look forward to meeting you and your family and can’t wait to learn more about your hopes and expectations for a caregiver!

Professionally, I have assumed roles as an Assistant teacher in a Headstart program and a substitute teacher in elementary through high school classrooms. Since 2016 I have enjoyed being a part-time caregiver for a former foster child who entered my life at the tender age of 6 days old. My experience includes teaching curriculum, preparing meals, snacks, indoor and outdoor play, playtime, nap time and potty training.... all while exercising safety precautions and measures. I am my happiest when caring for children and watching them blossom. I have currently relocated to Siler City NC due to the impact of the storm in Asheville NC. and is looking for a part-time position working with children. I am a happy go lucky person on a daily. I hold Christian values and morales to the upmost. I love interacting with children while watching them learn and grow. I am CPR & First Aid certified and can provide documentation. I’ve worked with many families in Asheville and provided care for them. (13 families to be exact) I have many great references upon request. Thank You! Denise Ross

Hi! I’m Erynne! I’ve been sitting/caring for others in some capacity for the last 30 years. I have some experience as a special ed teacher from my early years of teacher training, as well as parenting children of my own. I am currently working on my degree in early childhood development and psychology. I have experience with trauma informed care and have a more playful approach to children and their needs. I like crafts, nature walks, playgrounds and other adventures. I’m also down for movie nights (with kiddos, nothing scary!) or other fun things.

I started babysitting some of my moms friends kid at an early age and I really just loved playing with the kids, I babysat all through high school because I didn’t have the schedule that allowed me to work lots of hours and I continued babysitting during the summer during college. I love watching kids of all ages! I am CPR certified!
