Nasia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nasia, and I’m a responsible, engaging, and creative caregiver with experience in both child care and pet care. I enjoy creating structured and fun environments where children feel supported and safe. I’m patient, adaptable, and I love helping families make their daily routines smoother while also fostering creativity. I offer a variety of child care services, including babysitting, after school care, homework help, bedtime routines, and housekeeping. I have experience with toddlers, preschoolers, and school age children. I enjoy creative activities like arts and crafts, dance, story time, outdoor play, and calm wind down activities. I am also First Aid certified. In addition to children, I’m experienced with dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and energy levels. I provide pet care services including walking, feeding, playtime, litter box and basic cleanup. I’m comfortable with large dogs and shedding animals.

Hey, My name is Qualeah. I am a 18 year old college student. I am from the tristate and currently a college student at Rowan University. I am majoring in exercise science in hopes of becoming a nurse. I can wash dishes, clean up, read bed time stories. I am very attentive, responsible, and reliable as a teenager. I have CPR/ first aid training just in case of any emergencies. I’ve babysat kids many times, helped my grandma with daily tasks, and cared for dogs by feeding and walking them. I’m dependable, organized, and easy to get along with, which makes me a great caregiver for kids, seniors, or animals.

Booked by 7 families in Stratford, NJ

My name is Kate, and I am a 34-year-old elementary school teacher living in South Philly. I have my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and I have been teaching for 12 years. I have worked with numerous grade levels (K, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7th) in Pennsylvania and South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in South Philly. Beyond that, I was previously a babysitter for years while in college, a swim instructor and life guard, and I still hold my CPR/AED certification. I also have up-to-date PA Child Abuse clearances and FBI clearances due to working for the School District. My schedule has me home by 3:00 p.m. every day, and I would love to fill some time helping out some families in the area with any pet, house, or babysitting needs! I am also available to tutor, in addition to these services. In my "spare" time, I love to work out, spend time with my fur babies, and read, read, read! If you feel like I would be a good fit for your needs, I would love to schedule a time to meet up and see if we can work something out. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Kathryn was great! Very communicative and flexible. Our daughter had a blast and will definitely rehire! A+”

"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!"
