Nurturing children and supporting families through reliable, high-quality care is my true passion. With five years of experience, I am confident caring for up to three children across all age groups. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly, ensuring a calm environment for your little ones. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and engaging crafts. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or focusing on educational games, I strive to make a positive impact every day. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and always follow your preferred communication method for updates. Since I have a car and love animals, I am fully prepared to integrate into your family's routine. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your children's growth and happiness.

Valeria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Valeria, I’m 26 years old. I’ve been living in Philadelphia for over 5 years, with a majority of that time being spent as a house mate for families with school age children. I now live independently, but continue to provide care on for those who request my help. Most of my childcare experience has been through family references, so this is my first time promoting myself online. In addition to living with families, I’ve also worked with children going through transitional periods in their family dynamic. I have an excellent understanding of providing not only the routine care and maintenance necessary to a child’s structural development, but also providing emotional support when it’s most needed. My skills include conducting consistent morning routines— getting kids up, making sure they’re dressed nicely for school/programs, making breakfast, and getting them out of the house on time. Evening and night routines have always followed the same structure. As someone who comes from a family of caretakers (my mom has been a nanny for almost 20 years, same as my aunt), I value the importance of a child’s wellbeing starting at the foundation of their care, and creating a stable environment where the family knows what to expect is the best way to ensure of that.

Booked by 1 family in Bryn Mawr, PA

Hello, my name is Jessica, but you can call me AJ! I work as a Special Education teacher for 3rd-5th grade, but have worked with children of all abilities ages 6-14 as a teacher and camp counselor. While I'm out of the classroom over the summer, I would love to help care for your family! Some of my favorite things are arts and crafts, nutritious snacks, playing outside, and developing learning skills through fun and engaging activities. I also speak Spanish, and would love to help your family practice skills bilingually.

“I absolutely Jessica! I will definitely hire her again. My daughter Kynnedi absolutely loves you! Thank you so much for everything”
