Hi, my name is Michael. I've always enjoyed working with children and helping them learn and grow. I first started working with kids in high school, where I volunteered teaching Sunday school, and today I work as a substitute teacher, mainly providing support for students with special needs. My college coursework in psychology and neuroscience has given me a deeper understanding of child development and behavior, which I bring into my work. I'm patient, empathetic, and see the importance in creating a safe environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, keeping a routine, or just being a stable presence, I aim to meet each child's individual needs. I'm also a big animal lover and have recently owned two cats, so I'm happy to care for pets as well.

I am an experienced educator who has worked with children of all ages, teaching arts programs for kids and teens and serving as Director of several arts schools in the Philadelphia area. I hold two master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, maintain current Pennsylvania clearances, and can support your child with reading, homework, educational projects, and creative activities. I am also a lifelong animal lover. I’ve fostered many cats and rabbits, currently care for a dog and two cats, and have experience with turtles and fish. I’m comfortable providing attentive, compassionate care for a wide range of pets. In addition, I’m happy to offer caregiving and companionship for a senior parent or relative. My summer schedule has flexibility, so if you need a different time range than what I have posted, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a dependable, supportive, and fun part of your summer schedule.

I have over 15 years of experience as a part-time babysitter for families in Los Angeles, CA for children ages 0 (newborns) to 16. I also helped raise my two nieces from birth to ages 8 and 9 respectively speaking with them in Japanese, Spanish, and English. I am comfortable with babies, toddlers, elementary age and adolescents. I also have 3 years of experience as a substitute teacher in Los Angeles, CA. I have done pet-sitting and house-sitting for friends. Currently, I work full-time as a grant writer for the City of Philadelphia's Department of Behavioral Health. I am looking for part-time evening and weekend work to supplement my income. I am flexible evenings after 5pm during the week and generally available on the weekends.

Hi, my name is Xue. I’m a Temple University graduate with a background in Early Childhood Education and over three years of experience working with children in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I primarily offer babysitting services for preschool and elementary-aged children. I create a calm, structured, and engaging environment, and I enjoy reading with children, supporting routines, and providing gentle academic guidance when appropriate.
