I can’t recommend Katrina highly enough! This was the first time I’d gone out in a long while because I’ve never really felt comfortable leaving my 7-year-old daughter with anyone. She has autism and is very clingy, so finding someone I can truly trust is incredibly important. From the moment Katrina arrived, she put my mind at ease. She was punctual, kept me updated throughout the evening, and reassured me that she would call me straight away if there were any issues. That level of communication meant so much to me. When I got home, my daughter was clean, tucked up in bed, and Katrina had even taken the time to read her a bedtime story. The next morning, my daughter told me how lovely Katrina was and said she couldn’t wait to see her again, which says everything. Thank you, Katrina, for making what could have been a very stressful evening so easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and trustworthy babysitter!

Hello, my name is Kendra. I have been working with children for 10+ years. My key for your child and/or children is to be consistent with development, and nurturing. Activities that I enjoy are music, reading, arts&crafts, and nature walks. It is essential that I guide a child to identify within themselves as well as the world. Every child has a right to be cared for by someone whom they feel secure with. I strive to make a difference in the development of your child's life. Pay rates are negotiable. Thank You.

Jen is wonderful, our 1.5 year old daughter has only ever been watched by us or our parents. She was able to build rapport almost immediately and our daughter felt safe and happy being left with her within one week of starting. We feel very fortunate to have found her.

Kim C., Child Care in West Columbia, SC 29169 with 30 years of paid experience

I am a retired school teacher and counselor. I have a BS in Education from Lander University. Have 2 Master’s degrees, one in clinical counseling from The Citadel and one in Instructional Technology from Grand Canyon University. I retired from the state in 2014, with 25 years teaching and counseling experience in Charleston, Berkeley, and Lexington County. I am looking for a family full time, part time, or occasionally when needed. I can work any hours to include over night if needed. I have nannied off and on when teaching. You’re probably too young to remember but I nannied Fran Tarkinton’s two children for many summers at Sea Island Ga. I also nannied summers with Hicks and Jane Lanier from Atlanta, Ga. I have experience with infants up to high school and special needs children. I love being around children and watch how quickly they learn. I do believe that one has to be secure emotionally before anything else. When I nanny, I make sure to follow whatever rules and routines that are in place. I am able to run errands, drop off and pick up children, laundry, light house keeping, food prep, or any need the family may have. I have no issues with times changing at the last minute at all. I receive great fulfillment when working with any age child. I have lived in Lexington/West Columbia since 2012. I have a son Nicholas that just retired from MLB 2 years ago and a daughter Suzanne that is a social worker in Augusta. They both attended LHS. Working with any family that needs helps fulfills me. I also have extensive experience in running baseball tournament so I have always been with children both in school and out of school. I will be glad to send you my resume and references. I look forward to hearing from a family who needs helps.

Kim is a professional and a retired elementary school educator——and that is a plus in my book. She has great background experience and will have now the time to be fully engaged with her sitting duties, if hired. She’s responsible and personable. I highly recommend her!

Rosemary F., Child Care in West Columbia, SC 29169 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello there! My name is Rosemary, and I have 7+ years of childcare experience. I absolutely adore working with children, and have had the opportunity to wear many childcare hats, as a nanny, tutor, children's dance fitness and yoga instructor, kid's party face painter, and summer camp counselor! Children are gifted with brilliant imaginations and LOTS of energy, so I think it's important to keep them engaged through social play, singing, dancing, storytelling, arts and crafts, and outdoors exploration. The emotional and social development of the children with whom I am working is at the top of my priority list, and I appreciate collaborating with parents who feel similarly. Additionally, while I am no expert, I have had quite a bit of experience working with autistic and otherwise neurodivergent individuals. I am CPR and first aid certified as well. I look forward to hopefully working with you and your little ones!

Katherine Z., Child Care in West Columbia, SC 29169 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m a college student studying neuroscience with a passion for working with children. I’ve always enjoyed babysitting because I love getting to know each child’s personality, helping them learn new things, and creating a fun, safe environment where they feel comfortable. I have experience caring for children of different ages through babysitting and as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I’m CPR certified and have experience providing compassionate, responsible care while staying calm in emergencies. I’m dependable, patient, and organized, and I enjoy keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, or helping with homework. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. I treat every family with the same kindness and respect I would want for my own, and I look forward to meeting yours!
