Sitter in Durham, North Carolina

Hi! I'm Jacqueline, a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (though I am taking exclusively online classes). I'm an energetic nanny and babysitter, with 1 year of nanny experience and 5 years of babysitting experience. I care for infants up to elementary ages, during the workday, weekends, and summer/winter breaks. I'm effective at creating fun, engaging activities to meet educational needs, while demonstrating priority in children’s safety and well-being. Endorsed by previous parents as a responsible, caring babysitter who goes out of the way to create a safe, yet stimulating environment for kids. With previous families, I have been responsible for ensuring infants are fed, clothed, and bathed, designing fun and educational activities, teaching baby sign language, driving the kids to museums, basic pet care, light housekeeping, and enforcing daily and nighttime routines. It is my goal to establish positive relationships with your kids through engaging activities and personal connections. I value developing a fun, screen-free activity schedule to keep the kids engaged. We can brainstorm activities together, such as sensory bins and out of house adventures, to make the perfect blend for your family. Eventually, I will create these calendars on my own weekly. I have recently rekindled my passion for baking over quarantine, and would love to share that with your kids by incorporating baking monthly! I have a flexible schedule, as I am taking exclusively online classes. I am more than happy to drive the kids to parks and outdoor museums for socially distanced adventures! I love getting outdoors every day and will get the kids out of the house whether that’s in the neighborhood on a walk or in the backyard for their daily dose of sunshine while creating some space in your work-from-home environment. Finally, I am CPR and First Aid certified for infants and toddlers. I look forward to hearing from you soon, and hope to work with you! *I would like to note that I take COVID precautions very seriously. I am an avid mask wearer and partaker in social distancing. My family and I do not visit closely with people outside of our pod.
