Child Care

Avg response < 18 hrs

I am a recent graduate of UNC with over 15 years experience in childcare. One of my first jobs was working with children at the YMCA. That's where I developed my passion for caring for people and children in particular. I am very comfortable working with multiple children as I had groups of children in my care at the YMCA and working in a child care facility at a fitness center. I have also held private nanny positions and worked as a preschool teacher for a local 5 star facility. I hold many certifications related to first aid and childcare and am very comfortable with children and pets. My current schedule is flexible though I rotate with care for 3 families.

Experienced Child Care Provider

Avg response < 8 hrs

Hello, I am Claudia, (I go by my middle name), I am originally from Colombia, fluent in English and Spanish. I am very fortunate to have a mother that taught us the importance of knowing other cultures and languages, I went to law school in my country, I came to the US in 2000, married an amazing American man and had a daughter that inspires me every single day of my life and reassures me that I am doing something right! I have been working with children for 16 years and couldn't see myself doing anything different. Children fill my heart with joy and it amazes me how much I can contribute to their education. My career with children started at a Montessori preschool in Florida in 2001, then we moved to NC in 2003 and I have worked with children 6 weeks old and up in the RTP area with more than 10 wonderful families. Seeing the babies happy and the young children absorb everything I teach them is the most rewarding experience, always in a loving and respectful environment!

Jamie M.|Durham, NC

$10-40/hr • 7 yrs exp • 32 yrs old

Jamie's Child Care Profile

My name is Jamie. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and a firm understanding of healthy childhood development. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I worked as a nanny for several wonderful families. From going on park adventures to initiating and monitoring games and arts and crafts, I enjoy the challenge of managing multiple activities while ensuring the safety and well-being of the kiddo(s) under my care. From my lengthy experience, I have become an expert on healthy meals, organized chaos, creative play, and smooth bed-time transitions. I am also first aid and CPR certified. I am open to full-time, part-time, or even just the occasional date night. I also have experience house and animal sitting when employees are away.

Jamie is a rare treasure! My wife and I had a 7 week old baby girl and this was our first time leaving her for an entire day. I was a nervous wreck, but when I met Jamie and saw her with my daughter and son, my anxiety went away. We felt so comfortable with Jamie. Not only was she great with our kids, she was so good with our dogs, and house sitting too! Everyone loved her and warmed right up to her. Jamie sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away, which made me very happy! She REALLY helped my son with potty-training, and basically taught him how to swim. I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Jamie! We were so lucky to have found her, a true blessing! Her heart is warm, she is super intelligent, active, helpful, and amazing with kids. She also prioritizes safety and taught me a few things.

Loretta F.|Durham, NC

$15-30/hr • 10 yrs exp • 60 yrs old

Full Time Child Care

Being a Nanny is something that I love. Sharing my time and love with your family is an honor. For six years I had that honor with two beautiful young ladies. I have watched many children in my lifetime. I have lots of experience with children and volunteering for many different organizations, such as Big Brother/Big Sister, Ronald McDonald House, and Cub Scout Leader. I would love to share in detail all of my experiences. Doing crafts with the children, story time at the Library, going to the museum, and nature hikes are just a few of the examples of activities that I enjoy with the children. I try to be very flexible and accommodating. If you need a night-time nanny, or want to drop your children at my house, that's fine. I am willing to make it easier for you.

Kellie was a great sitter for our two kids, she was able to provide care for a short period, but was able to refer another great sitter in her absence. Highly recommend!

Tilissa R.|Durham, NC

$15-35/hr • 4 yrs exp • 31 yrs old

Fun Child Sitter

As a mom of an infant myself, I understand the value of hiring someone you can trust. I thrive when I am able to use creative learning experiences that teach kids to consider the world around them, understand it, and impact it. I have had the exciting opportunity to work with children and youth as a camp counselor and as a resident director for a group home. I have professional experience with elementary through high school, some special needs, and formerly abused children. I've learned the importance of combining structure with play. As a former group home resident director, I worked with previously abused minors and learned therapeutic counseling skills for youth.

Reviewed by Jennifer B. Apr 2019 5/5 stars

My son is deaf and Tilissa takes the time to learn more sign language and teach it to her girls to help interact with him when she's with him. She always checks in to see what my children are learning or might need more help with during the day so that it can be like they are at their own home on their regular schedule. She is reliable, and remembers every day she's scheduled to watch my children, from months in advance. I trust her with my babies, and I'm confident she will make your kids feel well loved and put your mind at ease while they are with her.

Fun, And Experienced Nanny Looking For Child Care Position

I have been babysitting since I have been 13 years old. My current experience is being involved in a nanny agency. They are based out of Lynchburg, VA, due to moving I have since then had to quit. I have experience as a nanny to a set of twins, from the time that they were 2-month-old to 9 months old as well as a two year child. I also have sat in daycare positions, nursery positions and I have sat children from the age of 2 weeks old to 12 years old. I am very good with children! I am well-versed in diaper changing, feeding, and putting to bed. I love going on outings with children, such as museums, and to parks. I am CPR certified, and would love to watch children from any age.
