Hi, my name is Courtney Thomas, I am a 26 year-old experienced caregiver who loves working with infants and toddlers! I started working in Childcare at the age of 14. I volunteered at a daycare called The Little School at Duke in NC, with children ages 8 months to a year old. I later on became babysitter certified with first aid and began babysitting for various NC families for pay. After working for my first family, I became CPR AED certified for infants through adults, and later on got my BLS. My other experiences come from working in summer camps, my church nursery, previous nanny jobs, and as a preschool teacher assistant. I've also worked as a sensory motor coach for Brain Balance Achievement Centers with children ages 4-16 years old, along with newborn- elderly as a Neurodiagnostic Technologist for 3.5 years. I have always enjoyed working with young children and I have a special love for infants and toddlers. I am currently available for occasional/date night sitting, along with backup if your primary caregiver is sick or unavailable. I have references and reviews pending, and my availability has some flexibility. Feel free to contact me! -Thank you!

I am a CSU student. I graduated from Summerville HS in 2015, and during my free time I spent countless hours volunteering at Old Fort Baptist church in the children's outreach program. I worked at Christway Worship Center's children summer camp. I also babysit my 'kid' brother after school and on weekends and have been doing it for over 7 years. I am no stranger to sick babies/children. I'm not clueless on how to change a diaper or even teaching a child how to use the toilet, and properly wash their hands. I've done it all. I do cook, and will cook if wanted/needed. I also help with homework and any school activities that children have. I would just like to add that I am great with all children that I take care of, and the children that I have taken care of find me to be an enjoyment. Every child is beyond important, and should be treated as such, and that is what I live by.

I love working with kids because I get to see how a little human has so much personality, intelligence and capability of doing great things. I was an au pair for two years and took care of a kid with autism, from the age of 4 until he was 6 years old, who is now my long distance brother. We created a very special bond and miss him every single day. Before that, I worked with a new born, and older kids I’m very patient, loving and comprehensive with kids, and pets.

Hi! My name is Olivia, and caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I’ve loved being around children for as long as I can remember and have spent many years helping care for kids within my own family. From babies to school-aged children, I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and fun environment. While much of my childcare experience has been with family, I also have professional experience working with individuals with special needs. This has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, safety awareness, and emotional support. I’m comfortable following routines, handling challenging moments with care, and adapting to each child’s unique needs. Families can count on me to be dependable, kind, and respectful of their home and parenting style. I take pride in being someone children feel comfortable with and parents can trust. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones as if they were my own.
