  • "Our family was visiting Carolina Beach for the week from Texas and had struggled to find a sitter for our toddler. I reached out to Southern Coast Nannies, and Natalie helped us so quickly. "

    They matched us with the PERFECT sitter, and the whole process was seamless. Since this was our first time using a sitter/service, I wasn’t sure what to expect but everything went so smoothly and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It gave us so much peace of mind on our trip, and we’ll definitely reach out again when we’re back in Carolina Beach. Highly recommend!

  • "Our sitter, Maebry, was great! "

    She handled a tough transition with confidence and checked in when she had a medical question about one of our kids. She gave a thoughtful report when we returned, and the kids said they had fun and loved that she’s a preschool teacher.

    —Katie P., Wrightsville Beach, NC

  • "We found Natalie in an emergency situation after wasting so much time and energy trying to find a sitter through Facebook groups. "

    Within minutes of calling Southern Coast Nannies, we had a confirmed sitter — and she turned out to be AMAZING. This will be my go‑to for babysitters from now on!
