Hi! I'm a teen college student studying nursing with a strong passion for caregiving and working with children. I have experience working in a daycare where I helped supervise children, supported daily routines, and created a safe, positive environment. I also completed a nursing program at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where I gained hands-on exposure to patient care and learned professionalism, teamwork, and the importance of compassionate care. I am CPR certified, Stop the Bleed certified, and ServSafe certified, which has trained me in emergency response, safety, and maintaining clean environments. I will be in the Philadelphia and Upper Darby area from May-August and am also looking for jobs during my winter break. I will be in the East Stroudsburg area during the college academic year. I am responsible, reliable, and passionate about working in care-focused environments where I can support others and continue building my experience.
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 :)
I'm currently a student at the University of Pennsylvania, originally from the Midwest! I have experience babysitting, pet-sitting, house-sitting and cleaning, and tutoring. I'm comfortable working with children of all ages and willing to adapt to their preferences!
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+”
Hi, I'm Juliette! I'm a registered nurse with a background in education and a passion for childcare. Originally from San Francisco, I've been living in Philly for the past two years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, including those with ADHD and autism. I love keeping kids engaged with creative, screen-free activities like outdoor adventures, crafting, reading, and games. I'm bilingual in French and happy to incorporate it into activities or conversations! I can also assist with cooking, running errands, and light housekeeping. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
