Childers began her professional career at WCNC-TV, in Charlotte as a Producer/Reporter in 1992. Beginning in 1995, she was a weekday anchor and then news director for WFXL, a Fox affiliate in Albany, Georgia. She then moved to WLOS-TV, an ABC affiliate in Asheville, North Carolina in 1999. Beginning in 2002, she became a news anchor for News 14 Carolina for eight years. Childers came to Fox News Channel as a general assignment reporter in the fall of 2010.

Childers became an anchor on America's News Headquarters in August 2011. She is also one of two rotating co-hosts of the Fox News Channel program Fox & Friends First alongside Heather Nauert.

In April 2012, Childers created controversy with a post on her Twitter account. In the post, Childers linked to an article from www.godfatherpolitics.com which was titled "Did Obama Campaign Threaten Chelsea Clinton's Life?" The article intimated that Barack Obama was trying to silence the Clinton family on the truth behind Obama's birth certificate. In response to criticism of the tweet, Childers said that she was "asking for opinion."
