Hello! My name is Joyce, and I have over 20 years of experience providing dependable, loving, and attentive care for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. Caring for children isn't just my job—it's something I truly enjoy and take pride in. I create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy planning educational activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents through open communication, patience, and reliability. Families describe me as caring, trustworthy, organized, and dependable. I understand how important it is for parents to have peace of mind, and I strive to provide the highest level of care every day. Whether you're looking for full-time, part-time, or occasional childcare, I would love the opportunity to support your family and become a positive part of your children's lives. I look forward to meeting you!

Joyce was our nanny for five years, caring for our twin boys, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better person. She quickly became part of our family, and the love and care she showed our boys were exceptional. Our twins absolutely adored Joyce, and so did my wife and I. She was patient, dependable, trustworthy, and always went above and beyond to make sure our boys were safe, happy, and thriving. She kept them engaged with fun, educational activities, encouraged positive behavior, and treated them with the same love and attention she would her own family. As parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are in caring and capable hands. Joyce gave us that peace of mind every single day. She was always punctual, professional, and communicated with us openly about our children's progress and daily activities. After five wonderful years, we can confidently say that Joyce is one of the best caregivers anyone could hope for. We are forever grateful for the love, dedication, and positive impact she had on our family. I recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an outstanding nanny. She will be an incredible blessing to your family, just as she was to ours.

I graduated from UNC in 2005 with a degree in philosophy and psychology, and I have taken many child development classes. I'm interested in the environment and working with kids. I have been baby-sitting regularly for 25 years. I am willing to provide references upon request but would prefer not to post any online. I was a preschool teacher and have worked with children of all ages, but primarily with ages 1-5. I like cooking and craft activities and enjoy being outside. I have done overnight baby-sitting and traveled with families. I am willing to baby-sit for large families or two families together - I am used to working with a group of six at school and enjoy working with larger groups of children. I currently work full time as a nanny but am available in the evenings, weekends, and for overnights for baby-sitting. I am also available to transport your child from your home to your child's school. I enjoy seeing children learn and show passion in whatever is interesting to them. I love watching children grow and figure things out - it's so exciting to me to see a child who was struggling with something conquer it! I love to hear a child tell me all about something that is interesting to them. I believe that adults learn from children as much as children learn from adults, and I look forward to opportunities to learn from your kids. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and don't mind doing pet care while I'm baby-sitting. I am also an experienced pet-sitter.

Denny cared for our 2 year-old daughter with a lot of attention and eased our minds about hiring a sitter. She didn't turn on the TV once, which I really appreciated! She arrived on time and as an added bonus, gave our cat some loving snuggles :) Highly recommend!

I have a passion for working with children. I have a degree specializing in child development - specifically child psychology and expressive arts therapy. I’ve spent the last 8 years nannying and teaching music. My goal is to foster a tailored environment for each child in my care, as all children learn and grow differently. I believe a well balanced combination of unstructured child-led exploration(ie make believe, pretend play, dancing etc) and structured activities (ie educational content, crafts, reading etc) creates an atmosphere where children thrive. I follow “gentle parenting” practices and encourage age-appropriate communication and redirection when necessary.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being a positive influence in their lives. I love creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and happy. Watching children learn, grow, and express their personalities is something that brings me joy. I also enjoy building trusting relationships with families and helping parents feel confident knowing their children are in good hands. Being able to care for children with patience, kindness, and understanding is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I am 19 years old and have been working in child care for about 2.5 years. During that time, I have gained experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. My experience includes supervising children, helping with routines, preparing snacks and meals, keeping children engaged in fun and educational activities, helping with nap times, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. Through child care, I’ve learned how important patience, communication, responsibility, and attentiveness are when caring for children. I’m comfortable multitasking, staying organized, and adapting to the different needs of each child and family. I have strong skills in communication, patience, organization, and problem-solving. I am dependable, responsible, caring, and able to remain calm in different situations. My child care experience has taught me how to work well with children while creating a structured but fun environment for them. I understand the importance of safety, routines, and positive interactions. I’m always willing to continue learning and growing so I can provide the best care possible for families and their children. I’m a caring and hardworking person who enjoys helping others and making a positive impact. I value kindness, responsibility, and building strong relationships with the families I work with. I enjoy bringing positive energy into every environment and being someone children can feel safe and comfortable around. I take pride in being trustworthy, attentive, and reliable, and I look forward to continuing my journey in child care and supporting families however I can.

Hello! I'm Jordyn, a senior in college studying Biology who aspires to be a cosmetic dentist. I enjoy being a sitter because it allows me to interact with children, have fun, and brighten their day. I enjoy interacting with children, making the environment exciting and safe, and seeing their faces light up when they are happy and required. Having worked as a babysitter for many years, I can confidently state that every child enjoys spending time with me! Additionally, I spent three years overseeing children at a summer camp, where I developed my abilities to plan activities and make sure they had a fun yet safe time Since I'm qualified in CPR and First Aid, safety is my top concern. I also have a natural ability to keep things tidy and organized, which aids me in providing children with a fun and structured atmosphere. Making every encounter with kids constructive and enriching is my aim. I'm excited to offer your family my enthusiasm, concern, and commitment!

After graduating from college, I immediately entered the workforce pursuing a career in my field of study. Although I enjoy my job, I have been reminded of how much I miss being a nanny! My heart is with kids! Some of my favorite times have been cooking meals and taking children on local adventures. I am happy to help with daily household needs. Additionally, I have spent the majority of my high school and college years tutoring and would be happy to help with homework if needed. I have been CPR/AED certified as well as First Aid trained. I would love to utilize my talents and skills along with my love for kids to create a fun, safe, and secure environment that supports your family.
