Valerie Richlandtown
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an experienced care giver on many levels! Not only have I taken care of my nieces and nephews since birth (now teenagers!), but also the children of many friends. I am a long time pet Mom to dogs, cats, and hamsters. Additionally I am a certified EMT since 2008. Also, I am a little bit of a "clean freak." As busy as life can be, I understand the importance and comfort of a clean home, and I am more than happy to do that for you as well!

I am an experienced educator who has worked with children of all ages, teaching arts programs for kids and teens and serving as Director of several arts schools in the Philadelphia area. I hold two master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, maintain current Pennsylvania clearances, and can support your child with reading, homework, educational projects, and creative activities. I am also a lifelong animal lover. I’ve fostered many cats and rabbits, currently care for a dog and two cats, and have experience with turtles and fish. I’m comfortable providing attentive, compassionate care for a wide range of pets. In addition, I’m happy to offer caregiving and companionship for a senior parent or relative.

Christine Philadelphia
$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!

Jordan Doylestown
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jordan, I am a college student with three beautiful cats, Danny, Skippy, and stormy. I’ve been dog sitting, housesitting, and cat sitting for about 12 years. It started with helping my family anytime we house sit, and now I’m trusted by friends, family, and family friends to watch their house, children, and pets! I am going back to college for a degree in social work, and I’m currently working at a nearby hospital as a behavior tech. I used to be a nursing major, and I still keep up with my certifications including CPR/first aid. I hope I can be of assistance to anyone who might need it.
