Maura M.
- 20 years paid experience
- 14 miles
I’m an artist with 20+ years of childcare experience, including a decade as a nanny in New York City (where I graduated from Columbia University). Since moving to the South, I enjoy meeting new families and learning how I can best support kids’ confidence, curiosity, and creativity as a sitter. I love spending time with kids outside (scootering, critter observing, sprinkler hopping!), making things (painting, sewing, baking!), reading books, and practicing new skills (cutting with scissors, phonics!) I have experience with kids on the spectrum, epi-pens, infants, and twins. I strive for clear communication and being a nurturing, peaceful presence in the home. Open to overnights and travel sitting as needed.

Erica D.
Maura has been a fantastic babysitter for our 5 and 18-month-old boys. They both instantly fell in love with her because she’s so great with them. She’s helped out with light housework (dishes and laundry) and even brought thoughtful, fun activities for our boys to do when she comes to be with them. She’s a great communicator and a kind, competent caregiver. As a teacher and former child care provider myself, I always say I’m picky because I want someone with my level of experience and skill to leave my kids with. Maura totally fits the bill and I never feel worried leaving my kids with her. We’re so glad we found her!

Hey Parents! I have gained experience caring for infants from my doula background. Assisting parents with feeding, soothing, sleep support, diapering. I am CPR certified and committed to maintaining a safe, nurturing, and responsive environment where children can thrive. I have a special passion for working with babies and infants and understand the importance of attentive, individualized care during the early stages of development. As for older children I am able to dive into my hobbies like baking, games, and venturing outside to keep them entertained. I work closely with families to ensure that care aligns with their parenting preferences, routines, and values. Whether providing occasional babysitting, regular childcare, or support for parents needing extra assistance, I strive to create a calm, dependable, and loving environment that gives parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. P.S. I have a the results of my background check that was done through Vetty, that I can send to families that are interested.

Takeda was absolutely wonderful with the children. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely engaged with them throughout her time here. She kept the kids happy, entertained, and occupied with activities, while also making sure their needs were met. The children were comfortable with her and had a great time.

No complaints; Erica helped us out on short notice, was very professional and thorough, communicative, gave us updates and pictures and asked us clarifying questions when appropriate (which we really appreciate). She left the house in better condition than when she got there, and Jack had a great time with her! Will definitely have her back. Thank you Erica <3

Chinwendu A.
- 3 years paid experience
- 14 miles
Hi! My name is Chinwendu! I am a recent graduate of The UNC at Chapel Hill. I have a current NC-EMT license, so I am both CPR and First Aid certified. I have multiple years of experience babysitting children of all ages. In my teens, I worked in a small home daycare service which cared for around 7+ children at a time (ages 3-12). I also volunteered in various children's sunday school classes at my church for 5 years (newborns-5/6-year-olds) as well as for a kids basketball team at the Salvation Army! I love teaching and learning with kids, reading, and staying active. I would love to hear from you if you think I'd be a good fit! :) I'm re-entering school on the 14th with a schedule of 9-3:30pm M-Th; no school on Fridays 🙌🏾 At the moment, I'm prioritizing looking for one family who needs before and after school care & then supplementing with date nights if needed!

Chinwendu is absolutely fantastic with our 7 month old. She has helped him develop and reach his milestones, is patient and caring, and Noah is often laughing and smiling with her when I return. Chinwendu is always punctual, is flexible, and reliably follows any directions or schedules we have. I highly recommend her as a caregiver.

Hi! I'm Shannon, a 28 year old who lives in Raleigh and babysits for a living. I have reliable transportation and I'm CPR/ First Aid certified. I have been babysitting since I was 17 professionally. I started watching children with autism at 18 until last year because I became a full time nanny. I'm taking time off from Wake Technical Community college to save up money and figure out exactly which career I would like to pursue. I would love to talk on the phone, meet for coffee, an dome over to meet your family. I'm friendly, respectful, prompt, and tidy. Look forward to hearing from you! Shannon

Shannon has a great personality when it comes to babysitting and our daughter has really developed a liking to her. Shannon has been AWESOME! Should anyone need her services, my husband and I highly recommend her. She is GREAT with children. Her positive attitude is a great attribute to any child she cares for.
Lindsay V.
- 15 years paid experience
- 9 miles
Hello! I have over 15 years experience with nannying and have also worked at a daycare and special needs school. I have a passion for caring for children and love to have fun! I use a gentle parenting approach which involves redirecting rather than scolding and listening and valuing children’s opinions/feelings. I am energetic and have experience with children ages newborn to teens. Safety and care for your child is number one but I also do light housework as well (dishes, wipe counters, baby/child laundry, etc). Your child will be lovingly be cared for and entertained with playing outside, doing crafts, swimming, riding bikes, stroller walks, doing sensory activities, dancing, and anything else your child is into! **CPR/AED/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross (infant/child/adult and OSHA compliant), fully vaccinated against Covid/Flu yearly, knows baby sign language, safe and responsible driver (new 2026 vehicle with many safety features), comfortable with pets.**

I had a wonderful experience with Lindsay. Linds took care of my grandson for 2 years. She even did some light housework on her own when my grandson was sleeping. She was punctual, respectful, and very patient with my grandson. She also took the time to teach him a variety of things that he would have to know when he eventually started school. Linds was always very kind and considerate and wonderful with kids of all ages. I would definitely hire her again if I needed a sitter in the future.

My experience ranges from being a full-time nanny to an occasional date night sitter, so I’m happy to support families in whatever capacity they need. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and always strive to create a warm, engaging environment.
