More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
My experience extends far beyond a typical sitter. Professionally, as a second-year teacher at Northview Middle School, I am adept at positive behavior management, handling groups, and crafting engaging activities. Personally, as a trusted mom of two, I am highly skilled in all aspects of home childcare, including managing busy schedules, preparing meals, and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for overnights and daily care. Other parents frequently rely on me for date nights and errands because they know I bring both a teacher's reliability and a mom's heart to the job.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love making our time together fun and engaging! As a teacher, I specialize in turning playtime into learning time. Some of my favorite activities include hosting 'Indoor Olympics' when the weather is bad, getting creative with kitchen chemistry projects, and building epic forts and obstacle courses. I always encourage reading and enjoy helping kids discover their own imaginative stories.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part of my job is building unshakeable trust with the parents and creating a safe haven where kids can thrive. My background as a teacher and mother means I approach safety and responsibility with the highest level of vigilance.

Babysitter Available in Hickory, NC: Ireland P.
Hi! My name is Ireland Patterson and I’m a 20 year old Criminal Justice student at the Hickory Appalachian State campus, I plan to be a juvenile forensic investigator after I graduate. I have always had a genuine love for caring for and spending time with children. I have experience caring for toddlers from babysitting two young children alongside my mom, and I’ve also gained infant-care experience through regularly babysitting my niece since becoming an aunt. Growing up with a brother who has multiple intellectual and physical disabilities has also given me valuable experience, and understanding when caring for children with different needs. I’m a compassionate and patient person who believes every child deserves high-quality care, and attention. I prefer hands-on, engaging activities over relying on screens and technology, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe environment through play and one on one interaction. I have a wide availability and I look forward to meeting with you!
Babysitter Available in Hickory, NC: Kelsey Q.
Hi! My name is Kelsey, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I have a degree in Early Childhood Development and began my career as a preschool teacher before going on to work in education and eventually opening my own licensed in-home daycare.
Running my daycare was incredibly rewarding, and I cared for children from newborn through 5 years old while providing age-appropriate learning, care, and support for their developmental milestones. I’m also a mother of two, so caring for children is truly something I love and have always been passionate about.
I’m dependable, nurturing, patient, and genuinely enjoy being part of a child’s growth and development. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and passion for childcare to your family!

Hi, I’m Brittanie — but most of the kiddos I watch call me Mrs. Bee!
I absolutely love working with children and treat every child I care for as if they were my own — with respect, patience, and kindness.
A little personal note: I experienced the loss of my son in April due to a mid-pregnancy miscarriage. Babysitting has truly become a source of healing and happiness for me. It allows me to bring joy and support to families while also giving me a beautiful sense of purpose. ❤️
I moved here from California in March and plan on staying long-term. Finding a reliable, fun, and meaningful job where I can make a difference means the world to me.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Hickory, NC: Celeste I.
I used to babysit and nanny when I was in college years ago and then I did it a couple year also after. In 2013, I had a special needs little girl that required 24/7 care. I was a single parent and had to undergo alot of extra training because she came home from the hospital (after an extended 45 days after birth) with a room full of medical equipment as well as having a trach and feeding tube. I had been in the healthcare industry for close to 10 years by then, so having her made caring easier. I, at that point, was First Aid and CPR certified for her sake. Sad to say, in 2020 right in the midst of Covid mania...she became sick with pneumonia. She already compromised with seizures, respiratory and cardiovascular issues, couldn't bounce back. I was devastated . It took almost a year to see straight. I know she's in a better place with no pain and able to walk, talk and giggle as much as she wants! I love children...that sums it up! I don't have any but I have a big heart! ❤️
