Find experienced child care providers in Franklin, NC

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!

I am child and infant CPR and first aid certified as well. I also am a licensed driver with a clean record (no tickets and have never been in an accident).

Hi! My name is Gretchen May, and I'm currently starting my junior year as an Elementary Education major at Western Carolina University.

I love being a working with children because I can help them grow, see them reach milestones, and help them learn through every activity. Thank you so much!

Hey there! I’m Vanessa — a 20-year-old student at Western Carolina University studying Elementary Education. I’ve worked with kiddos as young as 6 weeks old all the way up to middle schoolers, and I truly love every age and stage! I am currently a full time student, so my schedule/availability changes every 5 months, but I would love to fit in time! I currently do not have a full-time sitting family (although I am looking!!!), but I prioritize myself on my full flexibility on weekends, and most weekdays! This is my usual availability (Don’t be scared to ask about overnight or vacation opportunities): Monday: 12-11pm Tuesday: 5:30-11pm Wednesday: 12-11pm Thursday: 5:30-11pm Friday: 4-12pm Saturday: 7am-12pm Sunday 7am-12pm I’m certified through SC DSS, have completed multiple Early Childhood courses, and have a negative TB test. I have been background checked through the state of NC and SC and am willing to share that information! I have taken endless safety courses, as I am a part-time preschool teacher, so I have multiple course certifications in topics such as Safe Sleep, SIDS, Nursemaid’s Elbow, Outdoor Play, and more! I have my own car along with a clean driving record, that I love to tell parents about so they know I am always down to take small car rides to a nearby park or children’s museum. I love crafting, playing outside, and making sure your child is both safe and having a blast. I’m experienced with potty training and happy to follow (or help create!) a routine that works for your family. I do have experience with multiple kids as well as having pets in the home. I do have my own apartment with a cat, so if you are looking for someone to drop off to, I am more than willing to share my home with your lovely child(ren). Plus, I genuinely enjoy cleaning and organizing during downtime — it’s just part of who I am! If you’re looking for a fun, reliable, and hands-on sitter, I’d love to connect with you and your family!
