I began caring for children at the age of 12 and 13 after my mother signed me up for a babysitting course at the Red Cross. I babysat children of all ages beginning with infants and up to school age children. Most of my clients were from my church and within my neighborhood. I helped take care of my niece from an infant and she is now an adult. I also took care of my godson and started keeping him overnight and for the weekends from the age of 4 months and he is now 8 years old.

$18/hrstarting from

Hiii! My name is Abrianna! From the time I was old enough to babysit I fell in love with engaging young children in how to learn new tasks. I soon became a student teacher at my church, where I loved teaching every child that came to the door a new lesson every week. I went to college to become a teacher and this is currently my 6th year teaching. I have my teaching license in elementary education and special education. I consider myself to be open minded, hardworking, dedicated, and to have a positive spirit. Others know me to be scheduled oriented because I prefer to be early to things. For if you are early you are on time and when you are on time you are late. I value my time and time of others. I am looking for a more reliable part time job and a summer job. I enjoy arts & crafts, eating good food/cooking for others, laughing, and listening to music. I love dogs, but I am afraid of cats lol.

Hi, I’m Jada Pledger, a 21-year-old IT student with a passion for working with kids and creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where they can grow and feel supported. I have several years of childcare experience, including three summers working at a camp with children ages 5–13, babysitting since I was 12 for kids ages 1–10, and substituting at daycares and after-school programs throughout the year. I also help with children’s classes at a gymnastics gym during the school year, which has given me even more experience managing groups of active children with patience, energy, and enthusiasm. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and experienced in helping with routines, homework, activities, and creating positive relationships with children and families. I always strive to make every moment count by being dependable, caring, and a positive role model while ensuring kids feel safe, encouraged, and engaged. Looking forward to connecting!

My name is Kathleen Elsberry and am a current resident of Winston Salem and happily married to my husband of over 30 years David. I have 3 children - 2 who are out of the house and the youngest who is a Sophomore at ECU. We have 3 dogs (2 of which are puppies) and 5 cats last, all which keep us on our toes. I am currently able to be a full time stay at home Fur Mom and enjoy it very much! I also work part time as a baby sitter for two little girls whose ages are four years old and 18 months and whose parents work for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. I have also recently enrolled in the medical coding and billing program at DeVry University Online. After I earn my undergraduate certification in this program, I will purse other degrees within the same program. I also hold several different degrees in Early Childhood Education and have taught children both in the preschool setting and Sunday School setting including those children with special needs. I also take online certificate courses involving early childhood education so as to stay current with what is needed in the classroom - inclusion in the classroom, first aid, illness prevention etc. I have just completed several courses and have printed out certificates for each completed course.

Frequently asked questions about finding a nanny in Sophia

How much should I expect to pay a nanny in Sophia?

Nanny rates vary based on location, the nanny’s experience, and how many children need care. In most areas, nannies earn between $18–$30 per hour. Full-time, experienced nannies or those providing additional services (like tutoring or transportation) may charge more. On SitterTree, rates, expectations and schedules are set upfront for stress-free negotiations.

What is the best way to find a nanny in Sophia?

It's easy to find a nanny in Sophia on platforms like SitterTree, which require ID verifications and background checks for nannies to stay active on the app. Look for nannies with relevant experience, and strong reviews from other parents. You can also meet candidates through local parenting networks or referrals, but it's important to conduct a reference check and background screening before making a decision.

Is it cheaper to hire a nanny or daycare?

It depends on your family’s needs. Usually, daycare is more affordable for one child, but you might want to hire a nanny if you have multiple children or need flexible hours. Many parents choose nannies for personal attention, in-home convenience, and consistent care.

What is the hourly rate for a nanny in Sophia?

Most nannies earn $18–$30 per hour, though rates vary by city, experience, and responsibilities. Specialized care (for newborns, overnights, or travel) often comes with a higher rate. Checking average rates in your area is the best way to stay competitive and fair.

What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter in Sophia?

A nanny provides regular, ongoing care—often weekly or full-time—and may help with routines, meals, school pickups, and child development. A babysitter usually provides occasional or short-term care, like date nights or weekends. Both roles are important, but you should make your choice based on the hours and consistency your family needs.

How do you find a reliable nanny in Sophia?

Look for consistency, communication, and great reviews. On SitterTree, every nanny must meet Quality Standards, including a minimum 4.5-star rating, 0 no-shows, and no more than 3 last-minute cancellations. Ratings are generated from real parent reviews, so you can get an accurate sense of each nanny's reliability.

How to safely hire a nanny in Sophia?

To make safe hiring decisions, review references, run a background check, and schedule an in-person or virtual interview. Ask about certifications like CPR and First Aid and previous experience. On SitterTree, nannies verify their identity and pass a background check, so you can focus on finding the right fit without worrying about what’s behind the profile.
