I can't emphasize enough how amazing Kennedy is! It's so hard to find someone you can trust to take care of the people you care about the most (your little ones) and we were SO lucky to find Kennedy. She is incredibly responsible, super easy to work with, she's a calming presence, very comfortable around kids, and she makes it look easy! She is always calm, cool, and collected. Our little one loves her so much that he cries every night when she goes home! When I contacted her references ahead of employment, they were absolutely glowing reviews, which have all proven to be consistent with our experience as well! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Kennedy!

Hi. I have many years of unpaid childcare experience…helping out friends and family. But I also had an in-home childcare for 12 years. The only reason I stopped doing this was because we moved into an apartment and no longer had the space to accommodate this. Most of the children started with me at about three months old, and stayed with me until they entered kindergarten. I have many references and I am infant through adult CPR and first aid certified. During those 12 years I kept the number of children at five, for more individual attention. I always had five, and they were full-time. We danced to silly songs, did crafts, baked, loved being outside, and just enjoy being kids. I am a loving, creative, and trustworthy person. I have always had a big heart for children, and all people really. I would love to meet you and see if you feel like I am a great fit for you and your family. 😊

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our childcare experience. From the very beginning, it was clear that our daughter was loved, cared for, and treated like family! Kris is reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, giving us complete peace of mind while we were at work. More importantly, she genuinely cared for the children in her care and created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they could thrive. Our daughter adored “Ms. Krissy” and looked forward to every day she spent there. As a parent, there is peace of mind knowing your child feels happy, secure, and loved when you are away. If you are looking for someone who is kind, patient, dependable, and truly gifted with children, we would wholeheartedly recommend Kris! We will always be grateful for the love and care she showed our family during such an important season of our daughter's life. My daughter’s review was: 1,000/10! ⭐️ ?

Marconi has worked this past semester with our church in babysitting for our weekly community groups and larger church gatherings. Her communication with me in scheduling and providing feedback after groups has been great, and her willingness and excitement in fulfilling roles has been much appreciated! I have only heard positive feedback from our groups who she has babysat for and we look forward to using her in the future!

Having a degree in early childhood, for the past twenty years, I have watched infants, toddlers, older children and twins. I find it rewarding to be involved in the toddler years with all the major learning and natural curiosity present during that age. In my previous childcare positions, the child and I have enjoyed visits to the library, park, and daily neighborhood walks. Walks always provide fun opportunities for observation of nature, squirrels, flowers, and outside activities. Keeping schedules and familiar routines has been a priority for me in working with young children. I believe it gives them a healthy sense of expectation and promotes security throughout their day. My past experience and knowledge of infants is an asset. I have cared for several children since birth and even have been called a “baby whisperer” due to my ability to identify their unspoken needs. I was also the “lead teacher” in the birth-to-crawlers nursery every Sunday at a church for several years. Infants are like little sponges picking up new surroundings in their world. I have watched several infants as well as being their first official nanny. I enjoy being an "observer" as they experience their first smiles, tastes, steps and new initial skills. I truly enjoy all children and as they grow, they grow on me!

I am so happy to recommend Linda (aka. Mrs. G). She has been a wonderful nanny for our 4 yr old daughter for the last year. She is absolutely reliable. I never had to worry about her being on time to pick up my daughter. She showed lots of creativity, fun and energy, playing games, doing crafts projects, working on puzzles, among lots of others. She went on walks, outings to the pool or to Lewis Ginter Garden. Our daughter had fun and was happy and looked after when I got home. One of the best things about working with Mrs. G is that she is just a great person. She is thoughtful and kind. She focuses on doing good deeds and is a wonderful role model. The only reason we are making a change at this point (because Mrs. G has been wonderful and I am sad to make a change) is that my mother and mother-in-law are taking over the responsibility of watching Isabella. Really, I cannot speak highly enough about Mrs. G. She is great! Please feel free to contact me if needed.

Jeannie is an absolutely amazing sitter! We couldn't recommend her enough and it's too bad we can only give 5 stars (we'd give 10 if we could). We have a 5 year old and 1 year old and they both love her!

I love spending time with kids and I had great experiences babysitting a lot of kids from different backgrounds and cultures . I’m super active, I like to play games, doing crafts, painting, watch movies with kids along with preparing some snacks or light meals. I would never leave from my shift without cleaning any mess that I caused or anything related to baby/ child care. I have 7 of years of experience, I feel more comfortable working with ages of 12month and up as I love to be a part of your baby’s development journey. I don’t drink or smoke, I can do outdoor activities and parks if there’s a car provided for that purpose or compensation for my gas and mileage in case of using my personal vehicle. I have references to provide. I will run a background check upon request:) or I can provide a previous copy from a recent one.

Mari D.
- 4 years paid experience

Hi! My name is Mari and I have been working with kids for 4 years professionally and 3 years before that. I have been a babysitter, preschool fitness instructor and am currently a dance teacher! Kids are my entire life and the most important thing to me is their safety and emotional well being. I pride myself on working with kids as young as toddlers on expressing their feelings and helping them build confidence and autonomy of their own bodies and minds. I communicate very well with kids and find it of the utmost importance to make sure they feel seen and heard no matter their age. I also love working with kids on the autism spectrum! Lastly kids love me! There’s nothing I love more than having fun with the future of our planet and giving them love and care!

Hello Mrs. Chimelle here! I'm 44 years old and a mother of 2 grown children ages 27 and 21 and a wife. I come from a background of child care providers. My grandmother was a childcare provider and owned her own daycare for many years. I learned a lot from a young age and continue to work with families. I started working in Pediatric dentistry 19 years ago where I also learned to build bonds and trust with many children of various ages including those with special needs. I left dentistry 8 years ago and that's when I started with my passion of wanting to provide families with child care. I've worked with many different families over 7 years and the family I've been with the longest has been 7 years. It's truly amazing to see children go over the years and become their own person. To build bonds with them and see them develop any many different ways, we truly become family! I've worked with children from infancy up until teenage years. I provide love, understanding, growth, and trust within my kids I work with. I am CPR and first aid certified as well. Honesty and respect are a huge part of me and what I do and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, my name is Ms. T, and I’m interested in this position. I’m a laid-back, no-nonsense mother of two who believes in being genuine. I prefer to show people who I am rather than give a rehearsed introduction. What I can promise is that your children will be safe, respected, and cared for as if they were my own.
