Find an after school nanny in Pittsburgh, PA

Hello my name is Hailey and I’m in the last year of my undergrad. I’ve been babysitting for many years and have experience with children newborn to age 12. I am very creative and love setting up crafts and games for the kids. I appreciate time outdoors, and have experience tutoring elementary age children in science, math, and reading. I can cook, clean, and manage basic household tasks such as laundry, dishes, etc. I am very flexible and always open to your needs and ideas!

I have been babysitting, pet sitting and caring for others since I first began working at age 15. During my college years I helped care for my grandparents throughout their hospice time. I would clean the house, dress and even cut my own grandfathers hair when needed. I have experience watching large groups of children as I regularly volunteer for my church’s vacation bible school. I run a class of about 8-10. The newest addition to our family has just turned one and I have loved every moment of caring for my nephew in any way I can. Toddlers are such a joy! Additionally, my skills as a trained veterinary nurse have allowed me to foster a strong caregiver mindset and has provided me the skills to care for a multitude of species in a variety of ways. Due to the nature of this field, I am not intimidated by cleaning messes, handling emergencies and assessing the situation as it develops. Whether it’s pets or people, I will be sure to treat every aspect with care and compassion. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule which allows me to be available when emergencies pop up!

Hi! My name is Vanessa. I currently live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I truly love working with children, and I believe my greatest strength is my patience. I was an Au Pair for two years, which gave me valuable experience caring for kids and understanding their needs. I also have experience teaching my native language, Spanish, and I’ve participated in many volunteer activities. Feel free to message me if you’d like to know more about me!

Hi Families, My name is Ruthie B and I have worked in childcare and senior care for 5+ years. I have a B.A. from Pitt in Media and Communication with a focus in Professional Writing. I started out with babysitting for friends and family. Eventually I was hired at Beth Jacob Preschool at the request of the parents who were my clients. My formal training has mostly been in the Reggio style, but I have learned and incorporated methods of Montessori as well.I am certified in CPR and I have been for many years. I have been trained and certified for child and infant CPR training specifically. I am also certified for ECE-4 Behavior In The Early Childhood Classroom (Certificate available up request.) My favorite ages are the preschool years. Personally, I believe in fresh air, relentless positive reinforcement, active play, healthy boundaries and honest communication between child and caregiver. I try to lead from there. One of my favorite things to do for the kids I work with is to bring a "bag of fun" with me to the job. I like to include simple, fun things that most kids enjoy, like stickers and bubbles, for the children to explore. This gives the parents a chance to leave on a happy note, and also usually gets kids off screens for at least a few minutes. I do most enjoy sharing new children's books and great children's books authors that they have not yet discovered. The services I am currently offering include childcare/nannying, babysitting, light housekeeping/household assistance and meal prep, local errands, I use public transportation and ride service, but I don't foresee that being an expense for my clients. I have availability throughout the week excluding Friday nights and Saturday morning.

With 20 years of childcare experience in New York, LA, and Pittsburgh, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids of all ages in various settings. I have completed coursework in early childhood education and have a solid understanding of child development, so I love creating activities that support kids through each stage of growth. I believe strongly in learning through play and I’m active, upbeat, patient, and fun. I love sports, games, reading, arts, crafts, other hands-on experiences as well as outdoor adventures—anything to get kids moving and engaged without relying on screens. My goal as a babysitter is to make sure your children are safe, loved, learning, and having fun!
