Takeda S., Child Care in Durham, NC 27713 with 3 years of paid experience

Hey Parents! I have gained hands-on 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.

Maura M., Child Care in Durham, NC 27713 with 20 years of paid experience

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.

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!

Angelica was an amazing nanny to our three month old baby girl and five year old boy. We were so sad to have to see her move from Texas as I know she will be missed by both of our kiddos. Being as both my husband and I are in the military, Angelica was truly understanding and available to help out with our kiddos. She was ALWAYS on time for the full four months, every single day without fail, which is invaluable nowadays. She is highly recommended for babies and kids of all ages. She is kind, caring and very patient.

Erica has been a great benefit to supporting our family's child care and transportation needs. Erica communicates well about her availability and checks in often if there is any concern she may have regarding our kid, sharing her insight and is not afraid to ask us questions. Over the course of a few weeks we've seen them become closer and our kiddo looks forward to spending time with Erica. We happily offer our recommendation if your needs align with Erica's schedule and ability. It is also worth noting Erica is open-minded, accepting, and a possible ally if you are seeking one so kind.

Veronica was the most amazing caregiver! She was the ultimate professional and my daughter loved spending time with her each day. We needed a daytime companion for our special needs teen who could keep her occupied from 8-6 daily. Veronica filled the day with wonderful activities that engaged her both cognitively and creatively. She always provided daily updates complete with photos of their experiences and it was true peace of mind to see my daughter so happily cared for.

Hadley R., Child Care in Durham, NC 27713 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Hadley and I’m looking for summer (possibly into fall) nanny positions. I’m 28 and starting my master’s program at the end of May, so I’m looking for daytime roles to help you out while your kids are out of school. I’ve been babysitting since I was a young teen, but have worked professionally in childcare and education since graduating college in 2020. I’ve worked several positions, including a first grade teaching assistant, middle school substitute, and a daycare teacher. I have extensive experience with children of all ages, from infancy through middle school. Please feel free to ask me any in-depth questions about my experience! I love babysitting because it gives me a chance to focus on getting to know one or a few children, giving me plenty of time to get close to them and their families. I love the freedom to do a variety of activities, letting us have maximum play time together. I am also first aid and CPR certified, and feel confident in my ability to keep your children safe, which is ultimately my most important duty as a caregiver. Please let me know if any additional info you’d like to have. I’m happy to provide documents and references as needed!
