Omekia M.

I am a 51-year-old mother, and my husband is 66. He is a retired disabled veteran. We are proud parents of two boys and two girls, and we have one wonderful three-year-old grandchild. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in house sitting, pet sitting, and babysitting. I also previously retired from a career in pet nutrition, which gave me valuable knowledge in animal care and wellness. For the past 14 years, I have volunteered at Elevation Church, where I have enjoyed serving my community and building meaningful relationships. In addition, I currently serve as the HOA president in my neighborhood. I truly enjoy caring for others—whether that means children, pets, or homes—and I look forward to meeting your sweet son or daughter! 😊

Ms. Omekia watched my son for the past two days, and we had a wonderful experience. She was punctual, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. Most importantly, my son had a great time with her and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had. She was kind, engaging, and made him feel comfortable right away. I would absolutely recommend her to other families and would be happy to have her watch my son again!

Hi my name is Gess, short for Burgess! I have worked with children in many settings as a nanny or a teacher assistant! I work with families to provide a fun and safe learning environment for littles. I love to explore with children whether it is to the park or a trip to the children’s museum. I hope I get the opportunity to take care of your children and get to know your family!

Burgess watched my daughter while we were living in Beaufort (Pre-pandemic) and she was outstanding! Very reliable, even last minute. My daughter loved her and she was very respectful. She even helped last second for a pet-sitting issue we had while we were out of town. Highly recommended!

We interviewed her for a full time position but then our childcare needs changed suddenly. We really liked her and our 4 yr old daughter seemed to like her immediately (and she is normally shy). Although we did not end up hiring her, I would have felt very comfortable with her watching our kids

Hi, I'm Matthew! I'm a college student and competitive wrestler with years of hands-on experience working with kids — I've spent summers as a camp counselor leading field trips for school-age campers, worked as a lifeguard responding to emergencies and keeping kids safe around the pool, and coached/refereed youth flag football with i9 Sports. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, patient, high-energy, and good at keeping kids engaged and safe whether we're indoors or out. I'm also bilingual in English and Spanish. I'm reliable, punctual, and take safety seriously — families can count on me to show up and stay locked in the whole time I'm watching their kids.

Hello, My name is Allison and I’m the eldest of all of my siblings and cousins, so I have years of childcare experience with children of all ages. I was a live in nanny for two children under the age of 5 for a summer. I am currently an active duty Marine, so I’ve been trained in CPR and other forms of first aid. I drive a 2019 CX-5, so plenty of space for a car seat or booster seat if transportation is needed. I have a clean driving record. I am looking to help out parents who need the occasional babysitter or overnights on weekends. I do work full time, and go to school part-time, so I am am not a good fit for parents who are looking for weekday nanny services! Reach out if you think I can help you!

I love being a sitter because I love working with kids and being able to help out families that need a little extra help. I do not have any paid experience, but have babysat my younger brother and cousins countless times. Since I was a lifeguard, I have been trained in CPR and First Aid.
