From a regular nanny schedule to a babysitter for date night, Lifetime of Love Nannies helps Wilmington families find care that fits. We also arrange childcare for visitors staying in vacation rentals, Airbnbs, and hotels.
Our nannies and babysitters are W-2 employees of the agency. We handle payroll and taxes and provide caregiver screening, training, and ongoing support.
Established Neighborhoods and Strong Schools
From the gated community of Landfall to the family-centered suburb of Ogden, Wilmington's neighborhoods are built around long-term living. New Hanover County Schools serve families across the area, with top-rated campuses and strong community programs that make this one of the Southeast's most desirable places to raise children.
Beach Visits and Vacation Stays
Visiting Wilmington with children? Ask about a nanny or babysitter at your Airbnb, vacation rental, or hotel. If you would like an extra pair of hands for a beach outing, discuss the activities and care arrangements with our team before booking.
Childcare During Your Working Hours
Whether you work from home or need to take work calls during a vacation stay, a nanny or babysitter can help with your children’s routine. Share your hours and location so we can discuss recurring or occasional care.
Connected Coastal Living
Whether you're in historic downtown Wilmington, the walkable neighborhoods near Mayfaire Town Center, or the quieter residential communities of Porters Neck and Leland, the Cape Fear region offers the kind of coastal comfort that keeps families rooted. And families that stay need care that grows with them.
