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).

Since I was 14yrs old I have been babysitting multiple kids in all age ranges. I taught for many years swimming lessons to children of all ages even special needs. I taught classes at the YMCA and YWCA. I had to be certified in first responder, CPR and aquatics. I have been described as fun, passionate, responsible and extremely reliable. I pride myself on my Integrity. If I tell you I am going to be there, I will be there, prepared and on time. Communication is the key to life. I live in the Pine Valley/Monkey Junction area of Wilmington. I feel sometimes we all just need a break or just need help. Go for it, go have dinner, see a movie or just go sit at the beach. I like making up games/songs, finding new things, reading a fun book or even going to the park. Lets go sit outside and enjoying life, when it's not 100 outside. I am a pet owner. I have 2 cats and understand that pets are family, they are not just a dog or cat. I live a healthy lifestyle. I like to exercise and eat healthy. I respect that everyone is different and just let me know how you like things and I can adjust. I have had a really positive experience on Sittercity and found a great family I loved working with them. I was with them for 7yrs. I'd love to find another great family. Best of luck in your search for a sitter.

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!

Hi! My name is Morgane and I am a current Senior at Hoggard High School. I am available for child care and pet sitting. I love being a babysitter because I can take a little bit of stress away from parents for a few hours! I also really enjoy working with children, it’s what I hope to find a job in one day. I have had experience with children 8 months and up! I started my babysitting journey at about 14 and have loved it ever since. My responsibilities have included crafts, driving, cooking, and piano lessons. I have also had many experiences in dog, cat, and fish sitting. For 2 years, I have been an overnight pet sitting/ watcher. This includes hanging around the animals in the day, and sleeping over at night. We go on walks, play in the yard, and have fun! When I’m not child sitting, I enjoy playing piano, studying languages, and practicing taekwondo. I love making crafts! I have been CPR, AED, and First Aid certified for infants to adults for 3 years now (recertifications every 2 years).

With over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a warm, organized, and creative approach to childcare, rooted in nature-based play, a love for storytelling and children’s literature, and a deep belief in each child’s unique abilities and passions. As a former nature-based preschool teacher, I focus on nurturing the “whole child”—social, emotional, and cognitive development—through outdoor exploration, reading together, and hands-on activities that foster independence, confidence, and curiosity. I also have one year of teaching experience in a Montessori classroom with children ages 2–6 and am currently continuing my work in the Montessori environment. This experience has strengthened my ability to support child-led learning, encourage independence, and design engaging, developmentally appropriate activities. I am dedicated to building positive connections with both children and families, supporting each family’s unique values and needs. Whether establishing smooth routines, organizing enriching activities, or creating a safe, joyful environment, I’m here to help your child thrive in a way that honors their individuality.
