Ava $16 per hour for 1 child

My name is Ava, and I am an 18-year-old caregiver with experience in babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting. I have approximately four years of hands-on experience caring for children and over eight years of experience working with animals. I am reliable, responsible, and dedicated to creating a safe, clean, and positive environment for families and pets. I have three to four years of experience caring for toddlers and grade-school children. While my experience with infants is limited, I am eager and willing to learn. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines such as getting children ready for school or bed, preparing basic meals, helping with homework, and maintaining schedules. I enjoy engaging children through activities like coloring, watching shows, playing games, and taking them to parks or fun outings. I also have my own car, allowing me to safely transport children to and from school or activities when needed. Additionally, I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. In terms of pet care, I have experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Cane Corsos to Yorkies—as well as reptiles and small animals. My services include feeding, walking, playing, basic training, cage cleaning, and general care. I have no allergies and am comfortable caring for long-haired animals and pets of any size. For household support, I offer cleaning, tidying, laundry, organizing, plant care, cooking basic meals, and running errands. I can also provide my own cleaning supplies if required. I take pride in being dependable, adaptable, and attentive to the unique needs of each household.

Sarah 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Haverford, PA

Hi! I'm Sarah, it's nice to meet you! My education: I recently graduated from college with a Bachelor's in Psychology and Philosophy. Currently I am a graduate student pursuing a Master's in Professional Counseling. I have taken classes on development and childhood as part of my course work. My experience with children: I have babysat mostly school-age children in the past (5-13), but I have some experience with toddlers as well. I also used to lead a crafting and learning time at a nature center in high school, where I taught kids about an aspect of nature/the environment and lead them through a related art project. I am able to help with homework and love making learning fun. My experience with pets: I have owned many different kinds of pets including dogs, snakes, birds, bunnies, and even an alligator! I love animals and am a fast learner for any animal I don't have experience with. A bit about me: I am the oldest of 7 kids, so growing up I often took on caretaking roles around the house. I loved tutoring my younger siblings, cooking dinner for my family, and generally "babysitting" them when my parents weren't home. My oldest brother is on the autism spectrum and has a variety of special needs, which has given me some first hand experience with what taking care of a special needs individual can look like. My siblings also gave me experience navigating dietary restrictions and severe allergies.

Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.
