Find local child care providers in Vilas, NC

I am in my last semester at Appalachian state as a psychology major focusing on health studies. I am applying to occupational therapy skills with the intention of working in pediatrics. I have worked at YMCA Camp Kanata for 4 summers as a cabin counselor, age group specialist, and camper services coordinator. I have additional experience working at a summer camp for children with special needs. Im looking to spend more time with kids throughout the semester as it is my passion.

I’m 22 and I’ve always loved working with kids. I’m a child at heart—silly, outgoing, and full of energy—which helps me connect with children and keep up with their playful spirit. I’ve cared for infants and toddlers through babysitting, and I’ve worked with school-age kids as an after-school counselor and head summer camp counselor at the YMCA. Whether we’re playing games, being goofy, or just having fun, I genuinely enjoy creating a safe and joyful space for kids to be themselves.

I am currently a sophomore in college at Appalachian State University and I have been babysitting/nanny since I was a sophomore in high school! I have worked for families with kids ranging all the way from 2-12 and find that I do well with just about every age. I am very passionate about child care because I was raised by the most amazing nanny who took care of everything while my mom and dad constantly had to work. I think it is very important for a child’s upbringing to be surrounded by responsible, caring, and enthusiastic people to allow them to grow and prosper. I believe that the shaping of a child’s character truly starts with learning from those around them. I strive to keep kids entertained and happy when babysitting them because I find that it makes having a babysitter a much better experience for them since the sitter is not someone they are entirely familiar with. I am CPR certified, can cook, can clean, can drive, help with pets, and possibly help with homework if that is necessary!

I am seeking part-time, seasonal, or full-time employment, with a focus on working with kids. My experience has made me both patient and energetic, and I excel at creating fun, structured, and educational activities. My summer schedule is very flexible, allowing me to adapt to meet needs. I have childcare experience with newborns, toddlers, and children, responsible for 1 to 3 kids at a time. My duties included meal preparation, organizing activities, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. I have also volunteered at schools and community programs, working with kids in foster care and those with special needs, assisting with homework, leading games, and teaching baby sign language. Now a junior at Appalachian State University, I study Sociology with a focus on Families and Relationships. Growing up in a large family has instilled in me the importance of community and family. I am passionate about creating positive environments for children to learn, play, and grow.

Hi! My name is Destiny. I’m currently in school and am available on weekends and weekday afternoons! I babysat for several years in high school and was always the designated sitter for my younger cousins. I’ve always absolutely loved kids, and I hope that yours will get along with me, as well. :)

I am a passionate sitter with a ton of energy. I love taking care of children and have a lot of experience working with my own personal family. I have just recently begun babysitting professionally and am excited to bring my skills to new families. I am CPR certified and have spent a lot of time working with first aid. I am a certified CNA and am really good with homework help!

Hi! I’m Olivia and I just graduated high school. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and I have always loved it. I am good at keeping kids calm and collected, and will play games with them, watch TV, etc. I can drive and have my own car for whenever necessary, my mom is a nurse practitioner and could be on call if ever needed, I can do CPR, and I have done a first aid course a while ago. I love to cook, do crafts, or whatever your child wants! I’m willing to drive kids, do errands, etc.

Hey! My name is Cassidy. I've been working with/taking care of kids for much of my life. Growing up I worked in my church's nursery with my mom and throughout middle and high school I baby sat for multiple families. My favorite part about being a baby sitter is getting kids off the screens and outside! Whether it be a trip to the park or making up a game at home, my goal is to provide every child the best care possible through meaningful interactions.

I am a college student at App State here in Boone! I have 4+ years of experience working with kids of all ages. I also have specific tutor training in literacy and love to prioritize imaginative play and hands on activities. I would be happy to speak more to get to know each other! I also am double First Aid/CPR/AED certified for all ages.

I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids, whether it's engaging them in creative activities, helping with homework, or simply providing companionship. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. With a background CPR, parents can feel confident that their little ones are in great hands. I offer flexible hours and am happy to help with light housekeeping, or meal prep. Let me know how I can help your family!
