A little bit about me
Hi! I'm a dependable and attentive caregiver with 4 years of paid childcare experience and a strong foundation in child development coursework. I've supported children of various ages through both personalized babysitting and hands-on daycare environments, helping create structured, safe, and engaging routines that support emotional growth and positive behavior. I am CPR trained and comfortable assisting with daily responsibilities such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, creative activities, homework support, and maintaining a calm, organized environment. I take pride in being patient, observant, and proactive ensuring children feel secure while parents feel confident leaving their little ones in capable hands. I'm open to full-time nanny roles, occasional babysitting, and travel opportunities when needed. My goal is to provide dependable, high-quality care built on trust, communication, and a genuine passion for supporting children's development in a positive and respectful way.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Taylor Frye
I’m a student at the University of South Carolina – Columbia, majoring in Biology. After I graduate, I plan to go to PA school and work in pediatrics because I’ve always loved working with kids and helping them grow!
I’ve worked in childcare for the YMCA in North Carolina as a Childcare Program Coordinator, where I got to work with kids of all ages — from newborns to middle schoolers. I also have lots of experience babysitting for families around my hometown, stepping in whenever people needed an extra set of hands.
I’d describe myself as responsible, patient, and fun. I love creating a safe and happy environment where kids can learn and have fun at the same time. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or just hanging out, I’m always excited to make a positive impact!

Hi! I’m a responsible and caring high school student with a natural love for kids. As an only child, I always wished for siblings and found that joy in babysitting.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Sharon, and I recently moved to Columbia, SC. I'm 23 years old and hold a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from the College of Charleston. Over the past year, I've worked as a physical therapy aide in Seneca, SC, where I had the pleasure of working with children ranging from toddlers to young adults.
I truly enjoy working with kids and understand the care, attention, and responsibility that come with the role. My background in physical therapy has also given me valuable experience in supporting children's physical development in fun, safe, and engaging ways. I'm also trained and certified in First Aid, so safety is always a top priority for me.
I'm currently looking for opportunities to continue working with children in the Columbia area and would love to connect with families in need of a caring, responsible, and enthusiastic helper!
