I would describe myself as an outgoing, energetic, responsible and overall patient individual. I enjoy working with children, as I believe they are our future! I also believe that working with children provides an opportunity to discover a new purpose everyday! While nothing is going to come easy, the gratification I feel breaking through to a child and seeing their face light up with that “ah ha” moment is worth it. I have been working with children for the majority of my life. As of right now, I work for a caregiving service that specializes in the care of children with special needs, called Cambrian Homecare, and have been here for about 3 years. If you allow me the chance to work with your kids, you have my word that I will keep them safe! As well as treating them with respect and care.

Hi, I’m Kamora! I’m a rising junior at Lincoln University of Pennsylvania with experience working with children as a gymnastics coach at The Little Gym. I’m patient, energetic, and reliable, and I love helping kids learn, play, and feel safe. I have experience working with children ages 3–12, and I’m comfortable managing routines, keeping kids engaged with fun and age appropriate activities, and creating a positive, structured environment. Safety is always my top priority, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I also enjoy active play, games, and helping kids stay engaged in a fun and supportive way. I’m available throughout the summer and open to both occasional babysitting and more consistent weekly schedules. I can also assist with light housekeeping, simple meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized space.
Hi! My name is Patricia and caring for young kids has been something I have always loved to do. Their well being is my number one priority!

My name is Sofia and I am a third year Urban Elementary Education major at Howard University. I absolutely love children and am super grateful to be studying and maturing my work full time at Howard. Back home in Connecticut, I have worked summers at an urban childcare facility for 6 years caring for infants-5th grade. I also supplemented my high school career with babysitting, working after-schools at the local YMCA, and assisting special-needs students. I love working with all children, but am gifted working with seniors, special-needs adults, and most animals as well.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
