Greetings Families, My name is Nicola I am originally from the island of Jamaica. I am a certified teacher for over 20 years specializing in Reading and Writing instruction for Pre-K-8th grade. Being a teacher is often times also like being a second Mom or Aunty to the children I serve. It is humbling and a blessing. I love to travel, be in nature, music, art, cultures, literature and sports. I love to share my interests and experiences with children and learn from them as well. I enjoy being with children because they keep me youthful and enable me to continue to see thee world in new ways, and stay in touch with joy, hope, love and learning. You can rest assured that when your precious ones are in my care, "Every little thing is gonna be alright."
“Nicola was fantastic! She arrived on time and prepared with a couple fun activities for our toddler. Our daughter loved her right away. She was professional, enthusiastic, kind, calm, and upbeat. She handled dinner and bedtime with ease and grace. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
Hi! My name is Lia, and I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced babysitter based in Philadelphia. I’m fully CPR certified and hold all Pennsylvania Department of Education clearances required to work in schools. For the past five years, I’ve worked as a teacher aide, supporting children of different ages and learning styles — including those with special needs. This background has given me strong skills in patience, communication, and creating structured yet nurturing environments where kids can thrive. I love helping children feel safe and comfortable, whether it’s during bedtime routines, quiet play, or overnight care. Families appreciate that I bring the calm, reliability, and professionalism of a classroom setting into their home. Availability: 🌜 Evenings, nights, and weekends (flexible hours) 📍 Philadelphia and surrounding areas Credentials: • 5 years of experience as a Teacher Aide • CPR & First Aid Certified • Pennsylvania Child Abuse Clearance • Criminal Background Check & FBI Fingerprint Clearance • References available upon request Languages: • English 🇺🇸 • Spanish 🇪🇸 • Basic Portuguese 🇧🇷 Fun fact: I’ve traveled to more than 20 countries and love sharing stories and cultures that inspire curiosity in children.
Hi! My name is Skylah, and I’m a 22 year old sitter with a patient, optimistic, friendly, and reliable personality. I offer babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting services, and I truly enjoy helping people feel comfortable and supported while they’re away from home. When it comes to childcare, I have experience working with kids ages 1 to 13, including children with special needs. I love creating a fun and calm environment, and some of my favorite activities with kids include doing crafts, working on puzzles, going to the park, and listening to music together. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks if needed to keep things running smoothly. In addition to childcare, I also provide pet care services. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I’m comfortable with large animals and pets that shed. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning up, or simply spending time playing with them, I always aim to give pets the same love and attention they’d get from their owners. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely passionate about caring for others whether it’s your children, pets, or home, I’d love to connect and see how I can help!
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!
Hello! My name is Tess. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have been babysitting for the past ten years. During the pandemic, I worked as a nanny for a pod of four children between the ages of four and eight. I enjoyed programming different crafts and games for the kids to keep busy! I have recently returned home after college, and I am excited to start babysitting again. Please reach out! I have a lot of availability in my schedule. Best, Tess

"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!"
