$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lindsey, a reliable and caring sitter with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. Throughout college, I worked at a school, where I gained hands-on experience supporting and engaging with children in a structured environment. I’m patient, organized, and attentive, and I love creating a safe, positive space for kids- whether that’s helping with homework, doing activities, or following routines. I’m also very communicative and dependable, so you can feel confident your children are in good hands. I also love dogs and have one of my own! I’d love to support your family!

I’m a healthy, mature, caring, patient and dependable adult. I’m also a grandmother. I have a master’s degree in Education and I have taught grades 6-8 for 9 years. I love children of all ages. I’m easy to work with, proactive, considerate, and respectful. I drive, I speak Spanish, French, and Italian, and I can help with school work. I’m also a great cook! I work in Camden NJ weekdays from 7am to 3:45pm. I’m available from 4pm to 10pm Monday through Friday and I’m free daytimes or the occasional evening on the weekends. I can help with meal preparation, household chores, transport of children from school or to activities, pet care, and errands as needed.

Booked by 7 families in Runnemede, NJ

My name is Kate, and I am a 34-year-old elementary school teacher living in South Philly. I have my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and I have been teaching for 12 years. I have worked with numerous grade levels (K, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7th) in Pennsylvania and South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in South Philly. Beyond that, I was previously a babysitter for years while in college, a swim instructor and life guard, and I still hold my CPR/AED certification. I also have up-to-date PA Child Abuse clearances and FBI clearances due to working for the School District. My schedule has me home by 3:00 p.m. every day, and I would love to fill some time helping out some families in the area with any pet, house, or babysitting needs! I am also available to tutor, in addition to these services. In my "spare" time, I love to work out, spend time with my fur babies, and read, read, read! If you feel like I would be a good fit for your needs, I would love to schedule a time to meet up and see if we can work something out. I look forward to hearing from you!

Kathryn was great! Very communicative and flexible. Our daughter had a blast and will definitely rehire! A+
