Leslie D.|Hickory, NC

$15-25/hr • 7 yrs exp • 24 yrs old

Reliable Babysitter/Nanny Available

Responds within a few days

Nice to meet you! My name is Leslie, I live in Meriden, CT and have been around and helped care for children for the past sevenyears (paid). I am a fun, energetic and reliable person who loves the outdoors, arts & crafts, and reading. Working with children is something that I am passionate about, and want to continue to do. As far as experience, I have worked as a nanny, I babysit for friends and family, as well as helping my step-mom in her at-home daycare. In high school, I took a child studies class where myself, other students, and a teacher ran a preschool. I have also taken child development classes while earning my degree.

Leslie is our Mary Poppins. She has been absolutely incredible with our kids over the last 2 years. She is dependable, flexible and fun! Finding someone you can trust with your kids is hard but then throw a global pandemic in the mix and its incredibly challenging. Leslie supported our family by helping to engage our kids, by being flexible to the ever changing schedules due to school closures or delays and by being vigilant in following Covid health and safety guidelines in her personal life. In the words of my 3, almost 4 year old, "Leslie is kind and fun!" If you are looking for a stimulating and safe environment for your kids - welcome Leslie into your family. I am available to provide an over the phone reference.

Laura H.|Hickory, NC

Experienced And Loving Babysitter!

Responds within a few days

My name is Laura and for the past 12+ years I have cared for children of all ages. During my longest-running job, I was a nanny for a local family with 4 young boys (youngest 2 are twins!). I worked for them for 4+ years & still maintain a great relationship with the family. I have loved having the privilege of watching their children learn & grow! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education/Special Education. I completed my student teaching in a 2nd grade class & enjoyed it immensely. I have taught 3rd & 5th grade and loved both! I taught English in Mexico for 3 years to grades preschool-9th. I am returning to Hickory in August and I am looking for work. I am a very hard worker; however, I also have an easygoing & fun personality! :) I enjoy reading, art, basketball, & listening to music. :) I am fluent in Spanish, and I have a current background check, a good driving record, & will be open to full OR part-time work. I hope to hear from you!

Laura has been the biggest blessing to our family! My almost two year old is very reserved and cautious around new people but she absolutely adores Laura. She is so patient with my daughter and they seem to have so much fun together. I have peace of mind knowing that I am leaving my child with someone that she loves and someone that I know loves and enjoys her as well. I cannot say enough nice things about Laura. She is the only sitter we will use for years to come!

Jennifer M.|Hickory, NC

$10-15/hr • 5 yrs exp • 25 yrs old

Part-Time Babysitter/Caregiver

I've cared for children ranging from newborns to 10-year-olds. My first job was when my sister broke her leg only a month after giving birth to my beautiful niece. I began assisting with niece's care frequently including night time care when she still needed to be fed every two hours. I worked at a center this past summer, furthering my skills with preschool children. I worked primarily with 3-5-year-olds, but had extensive time in the 1 and 2-year-old room as well. I was in charge of multiple children at a time and was in charge of everything from nap time and lunch to structured play and group learning. I assisted part-time in the baby room with children under 1 year. I was able to learn how to successfully care for three babies at the same time! I don't have professional experience with children over 10, but would love to gain some!

Hi! I go to LRU as an occupational therapy graduate student. I have a passion for childcare and I am looking for part time work in the Hickory area. I come from a big family and was the oldest daughter with 3 little sisters. I babysat for multiple families in my community in high school.

I love being active, cooking, baking, doing arts and crafts, and watching movies. I am a very clean and organized person. I do not mind doing light housekeeping or meal prepping!

Adelyn S.|Hickory, NC

$10-15/hr • 6 yrs exp • 30 yrs old

Fun Sitter

I worked in childcare throughout my high school days. I quit to take care of 5 kids, a set of newborn twins, & 3 boys for a family. Ages ranging from newborns to 6, 8 & 13. As the boys grew older I helped with the twins until they began school. I then found work in the restaurant business for a few years, before working in a frame shop parts for the frame builders. I then had my first child, who is currently 6, while working a full time job. I stopped working when I became pregnant with my second child, who is currently 21 months old. I began watching a 2-year-old boy part time, until I had my second child, for a family off of the care website. I'm now currently a stay at home mother. I have lots and lots of learning activities for ages 1-6. I was blessed that an one of my kids teachers had retired this past year and handed down loads of learning activities and crafts

I have been babysitting for 30 years and have a lot of experience with infants and toddlers. I worked for 2 families in New Orleans for a total of 12 years. After hurricane Katrina, I relocated to NC where I began working for a family that had an 8-month-old and a year later a new born. I worked for them for 4 years until they moved to Charlotte, NC. My current family is also in the Hickory area, but will be relocating to Charlotte, NC, at the end of May. I have been working for them for 7 years come June, and began my service when the oldest child was 2 and the sibling arrived 4 months later. My current duties include light cleaning, transportation to school, doctors appointments, sports activities, daily meals/snacks for the kids and on-line education classes. I am currently looking for a full-time position to begin on or after July 1st. I am a widow and have 2 sons in college, therefore I can be flexible in my work schedule.

Kelsey B.|Hickory, NC

$10-25/hr • 2 yrs exp • 28 yrs old

Babysitter, Nanny Or Caregiver

Hello, my name is Kelsey. I am a mother of a 4-year-old boy and an 11-month-old girl, and I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. My most frequent babysitting experiences were for two different families; one with two little boys aged 1 and 3, and the other with a 5-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy. I have also recently taken courses in Child Psychology, General Psychology, and Elementary Education. I love children, and I believe the best way for them to learn about the world around them is through play. I enjoy reading, making crafts, and playing with them both indoors and out. In addition to loving children, I also love animals. I am currently a dog-walker for the app 'Wag!', and I have boarded a couple of different dogs through the app as well. I know your pets are a part of your family, and I will treat them as such. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, and I hope to get the opportunity to meet you and your family!

Hey! My name is Emma. Fun fact about me: I'm the middle of 7 children so I've pretty much been babysitting since age 6. Last summer I went to England to be a full time Au Pair. I was put in charge of an infant, a toddler, a 3rd grader and twins with special needs. (and I loved every minute of it) I am comfortable with holding your children to the preestablished behavioral expectations that you set with me, but will never push them past their limits. Last thing about me is that I'm a student at Western Piedmont and I'm pursuing a degree in Sign Language Interpreting.
