Hi ! My name is Hayleigh. I am 22 years old and currently attending Nash Community College for Business. I have always enjoyed working with and being around children. People closest to me consider me a very caring, nurturing, and trustworthy person. I believe my purpose on earth is to nurture !

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and supported. I love being part of their day-to-day lives, whether it’s playing games, reading together, exploring creative activities, or helping with homework. Watching children grow, learn new things, and gain confidence is incredibly rewarding, and I take pride in creating an environment where they can thrive and feel cared for. I have over four years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through middle school. My experience includes working in after-school programs, summer camps, and private nannying, where I have learned how to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personalities. I currently nanny for a family in the High Country and have cared for multiple families over the years, giving me a strong foundation in planning daily routines, managing group activities, and providing individualized attention. In terms of skills and training, I am CPR certified and currently pursuing a degree in Elementary Education at Appalachian State University. I am responsible, patient, and organized, and I focus on creating a fun, nurturing, and safe environment. I am happy to assist with meals, bedtime routines, transportation to activities, educational support, and tidying up the house as needed. I also have experience pet-sitting, which allows me to care for the whole family, not just the children. Overall, my goal is to be a reliable, caring presence that both children and families can trust and enjoy having in their lives.

Hi everyone! My name is Kendra and I am a Biology graduate student and lab instructor at Appalachian State University! I am completing my master’s degree in the spring (May), also teach general biology classes, and I am looking for a nanny job shortly before/after my graduation! I have 2-3 years of babysitting experience, 10 years pet sitting experience. My rate may be higher than some folks to compensate for my education! I (nearly) have a master’s degree in biology, as well as a BS, and a minor in psychology. I have research experience in both areas that give me extensive knowledge on health, first aid, safety procedures, education, phenomenal homework help for all ages, conflict resolution, teaching skills, and and many other skills that make me the perfect, safest person to trust with your little ones! The reason I am looking to be a nanny, is as mentioned above I do biology research and after completing my master’s degree, I plan on going to PhD school to pursue STEM education as I am incredibly passionate about getting young kids excited about science and math! If any of this sounds interesting to you, I’d love to speak with you and answer and questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi my name is Treyton and I am a student at ASU. I have a passion for the outdoors and love doing activities with kids when I babysit such as hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding, etc or just staying home! I am more comfortable with boys a bit on the older side I would say around 6-12 but I would be open to babysitting girls as well! I have my CPR/AED and first aid certifications that are active and am happy to share! My schedule changes a lot so feel free to shoot me a text whenever!

With 7 years of experience working with kids, I bring both energy and patience to every babysitting job. I’ve been coaching gymnastics and cheer since my freshman year of high school, which has given me great experience teaching, encouraging, and keeping kids active and engaged. I’m now a freshman at Appalachian State University, pursuing a degree in nursing with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse—because caring for children has always been my passion. I love making babysitting fun while also helping kids learn important life skills, whether it’s brushing their teeth, finishing homework, or practicing responsibility in small ways. I enjoy creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel safe. Babysitting is not just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy, and I look forward to helping your family by making sure your children are well cared for and having fun.
