Hi, my name is Mary. I am 24 years old I was born and raised in the Wilmington area. I have had many short term and long term babysitting and nannying jobs over the last 10 years. I have experience with children ranging from toddlers to preteens and everywhere in between. I love arts and crafts, music, and animals (so pets are more of a plus than a problem). I have my own car and a clean driving record. I look forward to hearing from you!

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). I am a recent graduate of CFCC from their Occupational Therapy Assistant program and am now a board certified Occupational Therapy Assistant! My experience as a preschool teacher, RBT, and OTA student has made me proficient in teaching social skills, academic skills, positive behavior interventions, developmentally appropriate 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!

Alexis L., Child Care in Southport, NC 28461 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi families! My name is Lexi and I am 25 years old. I adore babysitting because it’s more than just a job, it’s a passion of mine and a fun and rewarding experience to be able to not only teach kids daily living and/or learning skills, but to be a kid with them like playing with Barbies, have tea parties, arts and crafts, dance battles, you name it! I have 6 years of professional experience teaching and caring for children ranging between the ages 0-16 and a year of professional experience caring for children with autism. I am experienced in diapering, potty training, bottle feeding, napping, meal preparation, daily lesson planning, homework helping, outdoor play, house cleaning, laundry, etc. During the years of caring for kids I have been CPR certified for 5 years and recently obtained my First Aid certification. In addition to my experience, I also have experience with pets while babysitting for past families, and because I have had pets my whole life! I have had training and gained knowledge of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), Safety Training for emergency preparedness and more!

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

Hi! I'm a 31-year-old professional with over 5 years of childcare experience, including work as a full-time nanny. I hold a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work. I currently work as a therapist, so I bring a deep understanding of child development, communication, and emotional needs to every job. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and comfortable with kids of all ages, from infants to teens. Whether it's soothing a fussy baby, helping with homework and big feelings, or just keeping the evening fun and easy, I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely love this work. Parents can expect clear communication, consistency, and someone who treats their house rules and their kids' needs seriously. I'm looking for extra sitting work alongside my therapy practice, so I bring a calm, steady presence, nothing rattles me easily. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Naomi V., Child Care in Southport, NC 28461 with 17 years of paid experience

I have 22 yrs experience in child care with 17 yrs as a nanny. I am looking for a full time long term position with a family to grow with. I am currently working for a family with a 5yr old and 2. 5yr old. I have been with them for 3 yrs. They are both in school so 1 am looking for something with more hours. I also have a daughter who is 10. The families I work for love having her around on occasions when she's not in school or with her dad. I will adhere to any routine your family has in place or help you form one specific to your child's needs. I provide age appropriate learning/playtime in the home and outings with parents approval. We love exploring outside, beach, park, a walk around the neighborhood but also staying inside doing arts and crafts or learning activities. My priority is providing a safe and loving environment for children to learn and grow. Communication is also a top priority. Please message me any questions and I would love to send you my resume with references!
