Hi! My name is Ray and I have over a decade of childcare and tutoring experience, ranging from infants all the way up to high school. I studied inclusive education and fine arts at Houghton College in western New York. Though my childcare experience started at a young age babysitting, I have worked in professional settings as a nanny and teacher for kids of all ages. Most recently I was a preschool teacher for three years. I am currently working part time as a server on the weekends, but would love to get the chance to work with kids again! I have worked as a nanny and tutor for years, assisting with homework of all subjects. I also have experience with household errands such as cleaning, shopping, and laundry. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and have lived with cats and/or dogs my whole life.

I have ten years of experience working as a childcare provider and educator. I have worked as a preschool teacher at a montessori school, full time nanny, special needs caretaker, dance teacher, personal assistant, dog sitter, camp counselor, and tutor. I have experience working with infants through adults. My approach as a nanny is to nurture each child’s personal development, foster creativity and learning, and most importantly to ensure health and safety. I genuinely love working with children and I do my best to meet each family’s individual needs.

I’m an empty nester looking for extra income. I have raised two healthy happy kids and am here to help. I can drive and do pet care too. I do not do housework beyond regular straightening up after play and cleaning up after meals. I can also do meal prep.

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.

I am a dancer artist, educator and have worked with children my entire adult life. I have over 30 years experience teaching children of all ages, including pre-school age all the way thru high school. I have taught at the college level as well, for many years as an adjunct faculty. During the pandemic I was a full time care giver for my elderly mother and discontinued all my teaching and creative projects. I recently moved back to Philadelphia, my home of 30+ years and I am looking for part-time work as I start up my free lance work again. I am 62, married with no children of my own. I have always loved working with children and now I have experience working with the elderly as well. I am a mature, playful, warm, creative, responsible and reliable person. I love being outside, games, physical and creative activity, arts and crafts and music. I am.organized and relaxed. I can be efficient and also easy going and flexible.
