Find experienced nannies in Sylva, NC

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!

I am an energetic college sitter who has many years of experience. I have been a nanny, babysitter, and overnight camp counselor! I am child and infant CPR and first aid certified (July 2024). I fully enjoy spending time with children and am willing to do light work around the house as well! The ages I am most comfortable with are infants to toddlers! I have experience transitioning babies to solid food, starting walking, muscle training, and potty training.

Hi! My name is Riley Hatch and I am currently in nursing school at DDCC. I am a responsible, energetic, and intelligent student who has very big goals for herself! I have been working jobs since I was sixteen and I currently am certified as a nurse aide working in a long-term care facility, so i’m not afraid of hard work! Along with my nurse aide certification I also carry a CPR certification. My end career goal is to become a pediatric nurse in a children’s hospital! I don’t have much experience working with kids aside from one semester of babysitting two young girls (aged 2 & 3), volunteering with summer camps, and my local church’s vacation bible school. Although I lack the paid experience watching children some may have, I am a very responsible and attentive young adult who will take any job extremely seriously. I go above and beyond to make those around me happy and will go above and beyond to keep your children safe!

My name is Lea and I just started college this fall and I am studying nursing. I love kids and have been babysitting for family and friends since middle school and started babysitting for other families in high school. I became a nanny almost 2 years ago for 2 little girls who are now 2 and 6 years old. I love working with kids and it genuinely brings me joy. I enjoy planning crafts and getting out of the house often to go to toddler classes or the park or even just going for walks.

Hi! My name is Alicia, and I’m a college student at Western Carolina University studying Sport Management and Marketing. I’m responsible, caring, energetic, and love working with kids of all ages! I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for the same family for the past two summers, caring for their child starting when they were around 14 months old. I’ve also babysat for many different families with children of all ages. In addition, I’ve worked with children through A Better World Charlotte, where I helped with homework, supervised activities and outdoor play, and served meals. I’ve played soccer my whole life, so I love being active and spending time outdoors. I enjoy keeping kids active and entertained through sports, games, crafts, and other fun activities rather than just sitting inside all day. I’m also very interested in nutrition and enjoy cooking and meal prepping. I’d be happy to help families with preparing meals and snacks, meal prep, and other light household tasks. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each family’s routines and preferences. Most importantly, I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their kids are with someone responsible, caring, and engaged. I’d love to connect with a family looking for a reliable nanny or babysitter!

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.
