Natalie A., Child Care in Southport, NC 28461 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! I am a highly qualified babysitter and my passion for kids is endless! As an older sister of two younger brothers, I became a second mommy growing up which, in turn, grew my passion for childcare. I have been babysitting for 10 years and have experience as a summer nanny (2 years). My childcare journey began with babysitting and nannying, then I was a preschool teacher for almost 2 years, followed by pediatric ABA therapy practice as Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). My experience as a preschool teacher and an RBT has made me proficient in teaching social skills, academic skills, positive behavior interventions, life skills, and functional communication. These professions have given me the patience, playfulness, and compassion necessary to care for little ones and help them learn through play! I also am a Character Performer on the side and regularly do parties and events as Moana and Jasmine. I am currently in school to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant and my dream is to help kids with different abilities become their best, most independent selves! I am a Basic Life Support provider and CPR/AED/First Aid certified (Adult and Pediatric) through the American Heart Association. I love children and love providing the care, support, and play they need to grow, feel loved, and, most importantly, have fun! Among the kids I've cared for, I'm known for planning fun activities (most recently craft parties, playing "school", bug hunts, and more). In addition to the fun, I also provide tutoring/help with homework, cleaning around the house, pet care, and extra help in any other areas you need!

Kimmy S., Child Care in Southport, NC 28461 with 10 years of paid experience

Nice to meet you! I’m Kimmy, a responsible, energetic sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve worked in both private homes and daycare settings, with kids ranging from newborns to 10 years old. I’m the oldest of five siblings, so caregiving is second nature to me! I’m also a certified personal trainer, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of energy to keep up with busy little ones. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on making sure kids feel safe, supported, and have fun. I’m also comfortable with pets! I have a friendly 6 y/o husky-lab mix at home. Whether you need occasional help, regular care, or last-minute support, I’m happy to be there for your family!

Ava R., Child Care in Southport, NC 28461 with 2 years of paid experience

Hey Wilmington! My experience ranges from equine therapy/babysitting with children aged 3-13, along with nannying most recently for a ten month old. I’m from a family of 5 kids, so this job feels more like a second nature to me. I’m happy to help with house chores, following parental guidelines, and helping create a loving and overall happy environment whenever I’m around. My childcare style is very calm and positive.
