Hi, I’m Mia, I am 17. As a caregiver with five years of experience, I'm passionate about fostering a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children. My previous babysitting roles ignited a desire within me to make a positive impact on young lives, and I find great joy in supporting families by providing reliable childcare options.
My patient and calm nature, coupled with my creativity and friendly approach, allows me to connect easily with children and create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable and can thrive. I believe in open communication with parents and ensure regular updates about their child's day, using their preferred method of communication.

Hello:) My name is Neveah and I am 21 year old fresh out of college at UNCG!
I've always been around children- from being the oldest of 4 girls (having both a 10 & 12 year age difference with two of them) and being a substitute teacher for the past 3 years. I have taught grades K-12. It has always been natural for me- I find children to be quite funny, and I have the patience and personable spirit to be around them.
I have a very spacious 5 seater car! My Nana taught me to drive and she means business, so your children will be in very safe hands:) I drive my sisters around all the time also.
I LOVE to read and to watch movies, vanilla perfume, ice cream, writing stories, and laughing until my stomach hurts. People around me have described me as kind, sweet, trustworthy, loyal, and someone to look up to- which I do not take lightly, that means the world to me. I want you to know that your children and home/space will be in the best hands.
I'd love to get to know each other more! Please feel free to reach out to me anytime.

Therapist & Nanny with 10+ Years Experience — All Ages
Hi there! I'm a 31-year-old therapist with a Master's in Social Work and a Bachelor's in Psychology, and childcare has been part of my life for over 10 years, including time as a professional nanny. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I'm comfortable with kids of every age, from newborns to teens.
What sets me apart is my background: I understand child development, communication, and emotional needs on a professional level, which means I'm especially good at handling big feelings, tricky moments, or just making sure your kids feel truly heard and cared for. But at the end of the day, I'm here because I genuinely love this work, whether that's silly games, quiet story time, or just being a calm, steady presence.
I'm looking to pick up sitting jobs alongside my full-time practice, and I bring the same patience, warmth, and reliability to babysitting that I do to my clinical work. Looking forward to meeting your family!
