Hey! Nice to meet you :) My name is Ronell. I am from The Netherlands and I speak Dutch, English is my second language. After 2 years of being an au pair I will be moving back to my boyfriend in Philadelphia in march. Therefore I am looking for a part- time job. I come from a big family, where I would babysit my nephews occasionally. In America I have been living with 2 lovely families in Philadelphia and San Francisco. With kids aged between 7 months old to 7 years old. I consider my self active, creative, patient, observant and caring. A master in building forts, the best in hide and seek and I love doing arts and crafts. All while we listen to The Eagles and Bob Marley. I hope to meet you soon :)

Mary Philadelphia
$15 per hour for 1 child

I worked as a Child and Youth Program Assistant at Ramstein Air Force Base for a year, where I provided care, supervision, and developmental support for children of various ages. My responsibilities included leading activities tailored to different age groups, ensuring a safe and engaging environment, and maintaining positive communication with parents. Beyond my professional experience, I have a natural ability to connect with others, especially in caregiving roles. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, which allows me to meet the unique needs of children, seniors, or pets. My background in child development, combined with strong organizational skills and a nurturing personality, makes me a great caregiver. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own dog, ensuring she gets proper attention, exercise, and care. My time in the military also taught me discipline, responsibility, and crisis management—skills that translate well into caregiving roles.

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+

I worked with head start to high schoolers. I am very active and outgoing. My children keep me young! I enjoy outside activities such as walking and going to the park. I also enjoy singing songs and other exciting indoor and outdoor activities. I am patient, kind, and efficient. I also love animals! I have a cat name Lilly, who is near and dear to my heart!

Latasha was so sweet with our little boy. He's in a real separation anxiety phase and she dealt with it so lovingly and patiently. Will definitely contact her again! Thank you Latasha!!
