Kara B., Nanny in Canton, NC 28716 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Kara and I’m 30 years old. Currently, I work as a full time professional nanny for a 1 year old girl! I have cared for children ranging from newborn (few days old) all the way up to middle school age with several years experience. The best qualities to describe me would be honest, outgoing, trustworthy, creative, and fun. I'm also CPR certified and first aid certified. In my spare time I like to spend time at the beach, spend time with friends, stay active, reading books, doing anything outdoors, or doing really anything to stay busy. Patience is key and children are my passion. I have also taken multiple classes regarding newborns, infants, and toddlers based upon safety, general care, and sleep conditioning!! Last but not least, I’m a certified advanced newborn care specialist, in a self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified postpartum doula, as well as another self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant! Hope to hear from you!

Kara is very responsive and thorough. She handles my kids ages 5-13 and always makes sure the house is clean when I get home. She handles dinner, bed time, dishes & laundry. I could not ask for a better sitter!

I have been a professional nanny in the past for 10 years and have been doing temporary nanny jobs for another 10 years, especially with infants and toddlers. I have babysitting experience since I was 12 years old with every kind of child you can imagine! I have two years of professional experience as a paraprofessional with autistic children. I have a degree in Art Therapy & most of a master’s degree in nutrition, can teach baby sign language & focus on Montessori style play, and I also have a diploma in Professional Massage Therapy. I have also taught ESL online to children in China! I’m vaccinated and boostered and CPR/First Aid certified. AKA, the baby whisperer, kids love me and I love kids! I’m currently available to create connections with families for the month of December 2024, one-time/short-term babysitting gigs or occasional overnights!! I’m super thrilled to meet you and your children!

Jennifer K., Nanny in Canton, NC 28716 with 13 years of paid experience

I am a fun, energetic, creative/thinking outside of the box, harding working, and flexible person. I have been a special education teacher for 13 years and have recently taken a step back from the classroom setting working toward a semi-retirement lifestyle. I love working with children and will greatly miss this part of my teaching job. I am very knowledgeable in child development, teaching strategies for a diverse group of learners, working with behaviors that can be challenging at times, learning through play, and I have a lot of patience. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I love being outdoors and exploring new places on hikes and playing in my vegetable and flower gardens. I am very active and love learning new things. I have excellent references.

Christie K., Nanny in Canton, NC 28716 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! I am a 35 year old professional loving life as a Nanny and Family Assistant! I have 15+ years of experience working directly with children ages 3 months-10 years, plus mentoring teens. My passions include music, art, cooking, gardening and the outdoors. I love finding creative activities to do with the children in my care that promote growth and self expression, and I love encouraging children to look at their surroundings to learn and discover new things. Whether that means going for a nature walk, cooking fresh picked veggies, or making a mess while we paint, I believe a child learns best when given the freedom to explore and ask questions in a safe and nurturing environment, and I love being part of that process! Training beyond my college degree includes a Child Development Certification, and I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Denise R., Nanny in Canton, NC 28716 with 8 years of paid experience

Professionally, I have assumed roles as an Assistant teacher in a Headstart program and a substitute teacher in elementary through high school classrooms. Since 2016 I have enjoyed being a part-time caregiver for a former foster child who entered my life at the tender age of 6 days old. My experience includes teaching curriculum, preparing meals, snacks, indoor and outdoor play, playtime, nap time and potty training.... all while exercising safety precautions and measures. I am my happiest when caring for children and watching them blossom. I have currently relocated to Siler City NC due to the impact of the storm in Asheville NC. and is looking to pick up more part time hours. Im a happy-go-lucky person all the time. I enjoy watching children grow and have a happy childhood life because I did. It’s nothing more meaningful to me than allowing a parent that they can truat me go have fun with their children. I love seeing children happy. I like being happy on a daily. I love watching them learn and grow. I am CPR & First Aid certified and can provide documentation. I’ve worked with many families in Asheville and provided care for them. (13 families to be exact) I have many great references upon request. Thank You! Denise Ross

Chloe C., Nanny in Canton, NC 28716 with 4 years of paid experience

I've always loved working with kids, and childcare is something I genuinely enjoy. I have around 4 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'd describe myself as patient, easygoing, and creative, and I always try to make kids feel safe, comfortable, and have fun. I enjoy things like outdoor activities, games, crafts, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have taken Early Child Development coursework, and I'm comfortable helping with things like light housekeeping, meals, carpooling, travel, and swim supervision if needed. I also know how important communication is, so I'm always happy to keep parents updated however they prefer. More than anything, I just love building positive relationships with kids and being someone families can trust and rely on.
