Hi families! I am currently a commuting college student at Drexel living in Erdenheim and looking for more babysitting opportunities. I have experience babysitting, working in a Spanish immersion preschool as an assistant teacher, and I recently completed an internship as a behavioral health technician working with kids with autism and other disabilities. I am currently studying psychology and my passion is making positive impacts in children's lives. I have experience with babies, toddlers, and school-age children. Please reach out if I seem like the right fit for your family! Looking forward to connecting!
Hello! I’m Laura! 😊 I’m a college graduate with a background in Engineering, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. I have experience caring for pets and some experience with children through my family. I’m almost 30 and currently looking for something fun and meaningful to keep me busy while helping others.

I am a responsible and caring college student with years of experience working with children of all ages, from family members to friends children. I have spent the past two years taking care of a close friend’s daughter, giving me hands-on experience in providing attentive and nurturing care. I am patient, reliable, and enthusiastic, with a natural ability to connect with kids and create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for them. I am also organized, trustworthy, and attentive to the unique needs of each child. While I am allergic to dogs, I manage it effectively with medication, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for every family. My experience, compassion, and dedication make me a dependable babysitter who children enjoy spending time with.
Greetings Families, My name is Nicola I am originally from the island of Jamaica. I am a certified teacher for over 20 years specializing in Reading and Writing instruction for Pre-K-8th grade. Being a teacher is often times also like being a second Mom or Aunty to the children I serve. It is humbling and a blessing. I love to travel, be in nature, music, art, cultures, literature and sports. I love to share my interests and experiences with children and learn from them as well. I enjoy being with children because they keep me youthful and enable me to continue to see thee world in new ways, and stay in touch with joy, hope, love and learning. You can rest assured that when your precious ones are in my care, "Every little thing is gonna be alright."
“Nicola was fantastic! She arrived on time and prepared with a couple fun activities for our toddler. Our daughter loved her right away. She was professional, enthusiastic, kind, calm, and upbeat. She handled dinner and bedtime with ease and grace. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
