Find an after school nanny in Glen Riddle Lima, PA

Hello, I’m Rhys (they/them). I’m a nonbinary, neurodivergent, and artistic caregiver who brings patience, creativity, and grounded communication to every family. I spend a lot of time reading and in nature, and I love weaving those interests into activities that nurture curiosity, confidence, and emotional growth. I have CPR certification and full clearances for working in educational settings, and I will be a Certified Peer Specialist in the new year, which deepens my skills in emotional support, active listening, and community-centered care. My childcare experience includes supporting kids ages 2–10 in home, tutoring, and camp environments. I’m Wilson Fundations trained for reading instruction and enjoy helping children build literacy skills at their own pace. My background in art—including college coursework—enhances the creative activities I offer: arts and crafts, sensory projects, LEGO building, nature-based learning, and baking. I also teach emotional regulation, mindfulness, beginner swimming, and hands-on skills that help children feel capable and grounded. I’m reliable, communicative, and mindful, and I value inclusive care rooted in respect and understanding. I’m comfortable with meal prep, cooking, baking, and general household support, and I’m open to long-term nannying and house manager roles. As a pet sitter, I provide overnight care, routine walks, leash training, pets with attachment anxiety and medication management. I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and rabbits, and enjoy supporting training routines that help pets feel safe and confident. I am also available for non-medical senior care. Through caring for my grandmother long-term, I developed deep patience, empathy, and a strong sense of companionship and consistency. My goal is always to create a safe, welcoming, inclusive environment where children, pets, and seniors feel respected, understood, and cared for. I bring creativity, calm, and earth-conscious values to every home I support.

I’m from West Philadelphia (born and raised) and I went to Penn for my Bachelors, so I know this area like the back of my hand! I’ve been babysitting school-age kids since I was a teenager, and I am adept at bedtime stories, outdoor play, tutoring, and cooking. For longer-term gigs, I like to encourage kids to try new things and build age-appropriate skills (with parents’ permission of course). I studied physics in college and in the fall, I will be going to Columbia to get my PhD in earth science, so if your kids need some tutoring or homework help in STEM, I’d be happy to provide it! Since I’m doing a gap year, my schedule is quite flexible, so please just let me know your needs!

With 25 years of professional nanny experience, I have cared for children ranging from newborns and infants to teenagers. I provide nurturing, dependable, and age-appropriate care while supporting children’s developmental, educational, and emotional needs. My experience includes creating routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, coordinating activities, and providing transportation. I am patient, trustworthy, organized, and dependable, with a strong commitment to creating a safe and loving environment for every child.

I am a 25 year experienced childcare provider my journey goes a little like this... Having just two years of professional experience in infant care, my nurturing and compassionate nature has been shaped by both my work and my own journey as a mother, giving me deep familiarity with the early stages of infancy and the calm, attentive care they require. Toddlers are one of my favorite age groups thanks to their natural curiosity and wonder, and I’ve spent approximately five years supporting their growth through potty training, imaginative play, and age-appropriate independence. I also have eight years of experience working with preschoolers, whose similar sense of exploration allows me to bring the same enthusiasm and developmental support to their learning. The largest portion of my background—about twelve years—has been dedicated to school-aged children, where I’ve helped emerging readers build literacy skills and guided middle schoolers in developing confidence and purpose. Across all age groups, these experiences have strengthened my resilience, adaptability, and patience, which I bring to every child and every moment of care. I’m an extrovert through and through—I love to laugh and truly am a kid at heart! By kid, I mean I don’t mind getting messy, playing ninja, singing Disney songs at the top of my lungs, having spontaneous dance parties, and cracking (and laughing at) endless knock-knock jokes. As both a former educator and a mom, I’ve mastered the art of balancing firmness with fairness—always leading with respect, understanding, and a whole lot of heart.
