Hannah $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hannah. I'm a young professional working in the non-profit legal space, and am currently saving up to go to law school. I'm offering child care and pet care services. I've been baby-sitting since I was 15 years old, and have cared for kids of all ages! I was also a camp counselor for 6 years, and primarily worked with kids ages 6-10. I have experience doing pickup/drop-off from school, crafts, tutoring, preparing meals, helping with potty-training, and much more. I love reading books, doing art projects, and encouraging imaginative play with the kids that I care for.

Bex $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm a graduate student and long-time neighborhood babysitter, house-sitter, and dog/cat-sitter! I grew up around a big family with lots of kids, often taking care of the youngest ones over summer breaks, and, in college, became a reliable source for babysitting and animal care in my community! I am also a Teach For America Fellow, tutoring elementary and middle school aged students. I have a reliable car, and am a jack of all trades when it comes to meeting your family's needs!

Ada $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ada and I'm a junior at the University of Virginia. I am offering childcare and household services. I have helped take care of my two younger brothers and four younger cousins since they were born. I love babysitting and I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (in addition to those I'm related to!) since I was about 13. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with children and playing games (both indoor and outdoor). I have had several jobs tutoring children in reading, writing, math, and French, through Philly Reading Coaches, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, and Teach for America. I'm happy to do any tutoring or homework help. Additionally, in high school, I worked at a summer camp for numerous years and I have experience teaching kids theater, dance, and various sports. In terms of household services, I am incredibly organized and I would be happy to help with organization, cleaning, cooking simple meals, laundry, and any other general tidying up. Thanks so much!

$30 per hour for 1 child

I work as a nanny for over 9 years , my last job I was almost 4 years with the family , they are diplomats , I took care of a couple of 1 year and 2 months old twins and another 4 year old boy . I took care of the children , I organized clothes , I took the older boy to and from school , I took care of the twins full time , we did activities on the street and we went to the playground . I have a letter of recommendation. I am very punctual with schedules and tasks. I can travel with the family if they need to. I can be alone with the children if the parents want to travel alone, as my old bosses travel a lot and left me alone with the children. My last family as a nanny I worked for four years, 2021- 2025 watching twins and an older one. I just left the family end of January this year, but I still doing some work the family as they need. I just left the family because I started college class full time and I couldn’t be full-time nanny for them.

Great experience! My kids love her!

Arailym $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi. My name is Arailym and I babysit. I am available every weekday after 4 except for Tuesdays when I am available at 3:15/3:30 and all day on weekends. I am available during the evenings and am currently able to watch any age but am more experienced in infants and toddlers. I have taken courses and am looking at renewing my lifeguarding certification as I am a counselor at a camp during the summer. I am very energetic and love kids, hoping to pursue a career in education when I graduate high school. I am very flexible and am comfortable caring for many kids. The most I have cared for at once was four of five but am sure I can handle more if needed. I am able to adapt and accommodate. I do not have my own car. Looking forward to working with you all! I am 18 and so excited to meet you and your child!
