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.

Solei $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Solei. I am a Registered Nurse with nearly 10 years of pediatric nursing experience and recently earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with children and families in a variety of healthcare settings and currently serve as a school nurse, where I provide daily care, health education, and support to students of all ages. I am compassionate, dependable, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. My medical background allows me to confidently manage health concerns, emergencies, medications, and developmental needs while creating a safe, nurturing environment. Families often describe me as calm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks and help maintain a structured, positive routine for children.

Tiayanna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tiayanna (T-T to the littles’) I’m a 28 year old, in school and a mom! I am a well experienced nanny/caretaker with about 8 years experience. I’m looking for a new family for a few days out of the week while my children are in school. My classes are online, so I am very flexible with scheduling. I have been a head teacher at Wee-Care Childcare center for over 2 years, then turned over to nannying and have been a helping hand for families ever since! As a more experienced nanny I was able to care for the sweetest of newborn cuties to the most fun and active 4 year olds. Our days would consist of daily walks to the park to play with our friends in the neighborhood, trips to fun outdoor places. We would also have craft days and indoor activities that are so fun and creative all while developing appropriate skills! I help prepare lunches, transportation like to and from school and nap time. I also help the parents with light house work like laundry, dishes and just keeping everything tidy. I’m also a mother so I like to think I just have a motherly feel. Im very bubbly, energetic and have a caring personality that always makes the kids feel loved! And mostly, RELIABLE. Im looking for a long-time family so if you’re interested, I hope we are the right fit for each other!

Christine $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a newly retired pediatric nurse who recently moved to the Philadelphia area to be closer to my children after many years at the Jersey Shore. I'm now seeking part-time work as a nanny. I bring extensive experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs, through my work with CHOP, Children’s Seashore House, The Yale School, and Bayada Nurses. I’m passionate about supporting families, creating a safe and nurturing environment, and building strong, trusting relationships. I’m also a dog lover, having just lost my beloved 17 year old Bichon and frequently looking after my 2 grandpups while my daughter and her husband are traveling. I am happy to help with your pets!

Olivia $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I would absolutely love to babysit for your family! I have nine nieces and nephews I've helped my sisters care for since I was 10, so I have lots of experience and love kids more than anything. For example, I spent the first part of the COVID pandemic with my sister helping her raise her two newborn twins (while also caring for two older boys!) I received my undergraduate degree in Applied Exercise Science at the University of Michigan in 2023. I am currently earning my master's and teaching certification from IUP to become a K-12 health and PE teacher here in Philly! Multiple families have rehired me for years and I've had the privilege of watching their kids grow from newborns to kindergartners and beyond! I dogsit as well and am CPR/First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. If you're curious, I have a five-star rating on the babysitting app Bambino with 24 reviews. I love caring for children and look forward to doing so here in Philly!

"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!"
