I previously worked with the YMCA Summer child care as a camp counselor. I also did an internship at NBHS working in the daycare. Snack time, nap time, and recess time was given each day.

I have a ton of references. I truly hope you chose to consider my fun, enthusiastic, smiling soul.

Hello! My name is Willa Boothe! I am 25 years old and I graduated from Penn state University! I am a High School Spanish teacher during the year and in the Summers I am a full time nanny. I am looking for other babysitting jobs at night or on the weekends. I have experience with all ages!

Hey all, I’m Clara. I am 22 years old and have been working with kiddos for the last 5 years. This includes preschool experience, nannying/babysitting, and children with disabilities. I am CPR/first aid certified, and have a behavior technician certification doing behavior therapy for kiddos with disabilities. I have experience with newborns to as old as 12. I have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I am in the trouble-cities area and would love to connect with new families!

My name is Bryn and I graduated in 2020 from Cal Poly with my Bachelors. I have over 10 years of babysitting/nannying experience, with children mainly from 8 months-4 years, however I have a good amount of experience with older kids too. I nannied full time from 2020-2021 for a little over a year for two toddlers (14 months and 2.5 years at the start). Most of my other experience has been with 1-2-year-old toddlers as I worked part time for three years at a local Church's childcare programs and I absolutely loved it. I also have experience with a variety of special needs children and multiples. I’m available evenings and/or weekends!

I am a fun, energetic, creative/thinking outside of the box, harding working, and flexible person. I have been a special education teacher for 13 years and have recently taken a step back from the classroom setting working toward a semi-retirement lifestyle. I love working with children and will greatly miss this part of my teaching job. I am very knowledgeable in child development, teaching strategies for a diverse group of learners, working with behaviors that can be challenging at times, learning through play, and I have a lot of patience. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I love being outdoors and exploring new places on hikes and playing in my vegetable and flower gardens. I am very active and love learning new things. I have excellent references.

Hi families! I’m a professional educator and caregiver with 6 years of paid childcare experience. My background includes 3 years as a Pre-K teacher, 3 years as a substitute teacher, and 10 consecutive years of babysitting. I have extensive experience with all age groups, from infants up to age 11+. My care philosophy focuses on sparks of imagination and active, healthy play. Instead of staying inside, I love taking children on enriching adventures! Whether we are exploring local parks and rivers, crafting, or visiting the museum, zoo, and aquarium, my goal is always to get their energy out while expanding their minds. I have flexible availability and am happy to provide references from local families. Thank you, Kailee E.

I'd describe my personality as creative, kind, and intuitive. I like working with kids because I love to teach them about things, and in turn I feel like I learn a lot from them. I'm looking for a job that is consistent and one with kids who enjoy creating with crafts and art and love outdoors

Hi! I’m Emma, a UNC Asheville graduate with a degree in Psychology and Neuroscience. I currently work as a medical assistant in gynecology and have 7+ years of experience working with children and teens through caregiving, mentoring, community programs, and healthcare-related roles. I’m dependable, patient, warm, and comfortable caring for children with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines. I especially enjoy creating a calm, engaging environment through play, reading, crafts, and age-appropriate learning. My background in psychology and neurodiversity research has also given me experience communicating with children who may need a little extra patience, structure, or support. I’d love to connect with families looking for occasional evening, weekend, or date-night care.

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.

Professionally, I have assumed roles as an Assistant teacher in a Headstart program and a substitute teacher in elementary through high school classrooms. Since 2016 I have enjoyed being a part-time caregiver for a former foster child who entered my life at the tender age of 6 days old. My experience includes teaching curriculum, preparing meals, snacks, indoor and outdoor play, playtime, nap time and potty training.... all while exercising safety precautions and measures. I am my happiest when caring for children and watching them blossom. I have currently relocated to Siler City NC due to the impact of the storm in Asheville NC. and is looking to pick up more part time hours. Im a happy-go-lucky person all the time. I enjoy watching children grow and have a happy childhood life because I did. It’s nothing more meaningful to me than allowing a parent that they can truat me go have fun with their children. I love seeing children happy. I like being happy on a daily. I love watching them learn and grow. I am CPR & First Aid certified and can provide documentation. I’ve worked with many families in Asheville and provided care for them. (13 families to be exact) I have many great references upon request. Thank You! Denise Ross
