Lilith $17 per hour for 1 child

I would describe myself as an outgoing, energetic, responsible and overall patient individual. I enjoy working with children, as I believe they are our future! I also believe that working with children provides an opportunity to discover a new purpose everyday! While nothing is going to come easy, the gratification I feel breaking through to a child and seeing their face light up with that “ah ha” moment is worth it. I have been working with children for the majority of my life. As of right now, I work for a caregiving service that specializes in the care of children with special needs, called Cambrian Homecare, and have been here for about 3 years. If you allow me the chance to work with your kids, you have my word that I will keep them safe! As well as treating them with respect and care.

Kamora $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kamora! I’m a rising junior at Lincoln University of Pennsylvania with experience working with children as a gymnastics coach at The Little Gym. I’m patient, energetic, and reliable, and I love helping kids learn, play, and feel safe. I have experience working with children ages 3–12, and I’m comfortable managing routines, keeping kids engaged with fun and age appropriate activities, and creating a positive, structured environment. Safety is always my top priority, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I also enjoy active play, games, and helping kids stay engaged in a fun and supportive way. I’m available throughout the summer and open to both occasional babysitting and more consistent weekly schedules. I can also assist with light housekeeping, simple meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized space.

Sita $19 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Sita, I am a current sophomore at George Washington University majoring in Human Services and Social Justice. I am offering babysitting services, senior care, and household assistance. I love children, I have been tutoring and watching toddlers and school aged children since I was 13. I loved crafting with them, reading to them, and can handle stressful situations with calmness and empathy. (If you have a teenager that needs help with college applications, I would love to help). I am CPR certified and extremely attentive to the needs of children because of my studies at school. I volunteer 120 hours per semester with children and seniors and am accustomed to such environments. I am super flexible and can work with you to fit the needs of your family! :)
