Kara B., Child Care in Canton, NC 28716 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Kara and I’m 30 years old. Currently, I work as a full time professional nanny for a 1 year old girl! I have cared for children ranging from newborn (few days old) all the way up to middle school age with several years experience. The best qualities to describe me would be honest, outgoing, trustworthy, creative, and fun. I'm also CPR certified and first aid certified. In my spare time I like to spend time at the beach, spend time with friends, stay active, reading books, doing anything outdoors, or doing really anything to stay busy. Patience is key and children are my passion. I have also taken multiple classes regarding newborns, infants, and toddlers based upon safety, general care, and sleep conditioning!! Last but not least, I’m a certified advanced newborn care specialist, in a self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified postpartum doula, as well as another self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant! Hope to hear from you!

Kara is very responsive and thorough. She handles my kids ages 5-13 and always makes sure the house is clean when I get home. She handles dinner, bed time, dishes & laundry. I could not ask for a better sitter!

I am school social worker, MSW, LCSW and have been working in Buncombe County Schools for 11 years. I am taking a sabbatical this school year, and would love to spend some of my time with kiddos! I am the luckiest aunt of 5 incredible nephews who I miss daily because they live in Wisconsin! I love to sing and read, go on adventures, have fun, learn in any and every way possible, sharing all of the wonders of this planet with kids. I am spending the year working on my artwork, and exploring what's out there. I would love to get together to see if we could be a good fit!

Karlie C., Child Care in Canton, NC 28716 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! My photo and checks are processing. I can give you my facebook and whatever else is needed :) My name is Karlie, I’m 23 years old with a beautiful 3 year old daughter. I have my BA in Human Service from Southern New Hampshire University and I am currently working on my Masters of Social Work, starting July 13th I will be all online at Capella University. I love working with children of all ages and have been for the last 5 years! I am looking to start a more routine sitter position as I am just occasional right now. I would love to work towards becoming a full time nanny/sitter to one or multiple children as it would not only benefit my daughter having time with other children to play with but give you the peace of mind knowing your child(ren) are in safe hands. I am l flexible, reliable and very commutative. I have a genuine love for working with children and enjoy helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. I'm patient, responsible, and dependable, and I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their little ones. I enjoy arts and crafts, reading stories, outdoor activities, board games, and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged. I'm happy to help with homework, bedtime routines, light meal preparation, and light housekeeping related to the children if needed. I'm a dependable, caring, and patient nanny/sitter who truly enjoys spending time with children of all ages. My driving record is clean and I have a clean criminal record. I strive to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Whether it's helping with homework, planning creative activities, preparing simple meals, or sticking to daily routines, I'm committed to providing reliable care that gives parents peace of mind. I value open communication, punctuality, and treating every family with kindness and respect. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with both children and parents! I'm currently looking to connect with families who need a reliable babysitter or nanny. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide loving, attentive care for your children. If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd be happy to chat and answer any questions. Thank you for considering me!

Kathleen M., Child Care in Canton, NC 28716 with 10 years of paid experience

I have had multiple years of caring for babies, kids and pets of all ages, not to mention raising two of my own. I have my CPR certification and basic first aid knowledge. I love the wonder and joy of kids who are learning so much so quickly and enjoy being a part of that experience. I am a born nurturer with energy, education and excitement for what every new day can bring! I like to keep the TV off and the mind and body active. I also believe that down time is important for development. Time to just do nothing for a bit to daydream, relax, and connect. Routine and boundaries are what give kids a sense of safety and assurance, and I provide both in a loving, consistent way. Activity is essential for good health and I find that kids really respond to “dance parties”, sing alongs, easy gymnastics, etc. I'm all for them getting outside whenever possible to use some of that incredible energy to run and play games. Puddle stomping, mud pies and getting down on ground level to watch an ant trail are so much fun! I'm a healthy eater and think that when given a choice, kids really do prefer "real" food. I love to cook and bake from scratch with real, local ingredients. Of course, the children are always included in participating! It may get messy, but that's what dishwashers are for! Be ready for a gourmet (kid) treat when you get home from work! Reading out loud every day is a part of my philosophy too. I'm pretty animated and tend to give voices and expressions to the characters. It's simply an essential activity. Questions are encouraged and finding the answers rather then being given them is fun and empowering! I like to use more than the computer as a resource so I hope you have books, a world globe and maps available. All in all, I'd say I have a natural, relaxed approach to child rearing and care. We're all a part of this wonderful "village" on earth and connected to it and each other in some fashion.

Alexandra R., Child Care in Canton, NC 28716 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi My name is Lexie and I have been working with kids for what feels like forever. i’ve always liked it. I went to school for a little while for elementary education with a minor in psychology. I went through a little bit of a cancer scare recently and ended up, losing my ability to have my own children, so I really cherish the time that I get with all kids now even more and have always enjoyed working with them. I did get my CPR certification in high school and have followed it up after high school so it is up-to-date and I do know what to do. I’m great with animals also and I’m super comfortable with them in the house or out of the house or anything like that. I do have a little bit of background knowledge in training, certain dogs, and things like that. I mostly work with like known aggressive breeds, an and kind of helping them calm down, walk on leashes not be aggressive things like that so if you have like any little things that like you would like me to try to work on your dogs with, I can do that also. And no, I’m not gonna charge you for that. That would be insane, but I cannot express enough of how excited I am for this opportunity and after all my health problems, I’m really excited to get back into the workforce and things like that and can’t wait to start taking care of kids again. :)))))

I started watching kids while I was 13, watching over my younger siblings and babysitting my neighbors' kids and my mom's friends' children. I began falling in love with children when I was always just playing with them and staying active. Babysitting kids really teaches you a lot that you thought you couldn't learn from a child and their so creative and energetic it always keeps you on your toes wanting to learn more. I began actually babysitting when I was 16, to try and help me earn some money on the side while doing what I love and now I do it to help pay for college.
