Hi! My name is Isabella and I am a freshman honors student at the University of Pittsburgh on the Pre-Med track! I was born in DC and raised in Pittsburgh for half of my life. I absolutely adore kids of all ages! I have two cousins that I have looked after, and I am a very patient, caring, and responsible person. In addition, I am First on the Scene certified, which means I have emergency response training and know how to stay calm under pressure. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and to create a safe and fun environment for their children!

Booked by 4 families in Elrama, PA

Hi! My name is Grace and I’m a 23 year old Pitt graduate. I currently work full time as a marketing and events coordinator, but have a lot of free time to care for your family! I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have experience with kids of all ages. My sister has four kids that I watch frequently when I’m back home in Jersey. She has a 7 year old, 5 year old, 2 year old, and 5 month old. So I can change a diaper one second and be playing trucks the next. I also have experience tutoring if the kiddos need some help with homework! I’ve been living in the city for 6 years now, so I’m very comfortable driving if needed. As far as senior care, I frequently took care of my grandpa as he had Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. He always told me I should work in a nursing home…but unfortunately that wasn’t really my first calling. I am an animal lover so happy to take care of pets and am also able to run any errands or do housework if needed. Some facts about me! I am originally from New Jersey but loved Pittsburgh so much that I decided to stay. I’m a huge Pitt fan and am very excited to cheer them on this year. I love crafting, playing tennis, and cooking! I look forward to working with you!

Grace showed up promptly, was very warm and friendly, and took excellent care of our kids. We will be working with her again.

Olivia Pittsburgh
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Olivia, a pediatric occupational therapist with years of experience supporting children with a wide range of medical complexities and special needs. I understand how hard it can be to find the right caregiver — someone who truly understands your child’s unique needs and can provide both fun and support. I offer babysitting services that are more than just supervision. I bring a calm, compassionate approach, and create a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment tailored to your child. My current work schedule allows for flexibility during some weekday afternoons, as well as evenings and occasional weekends. I’d love to work with your family to find a time that fits your needs.

$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elrama, PA

Hi there, my name is Andrew! I am a 3rd year nursing student at the University of Pittsburgh who hopes to work as a neonatal or pediatric nurse. My expertise is particularly focused towards caring for newborns and infants. Children bring so much joy into our lives and safety is my upmost priority. I have 2 years of previous work experience as a babysitter as well as 1 year of inpatient hospital experience in the postpartum unit and newborn nursery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. I am comfortable with nightshift work, twins, and medically complex infants/kids. As part of my nursing education I am trained in adult and senior care as well. As a requirement for my work I have been cleared by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for work with children. The Pennsylvania State Police have attested that I do not have a criminal record. I am certified by the American Heart Association for infant, child, and adult CPR and other life support & first aid techniques. I would be happy to provide these documents upon request. In my free time I enjoy knitting, watching TV with my cat, drawing, and reading. I am very crafty, so if your kid(s) love art or science, we will likely get along great! I have always been drawn to cats and dogs, but am willing to branch out and meet other animals! I grew up with dogs, had a 10 gallon fish tank, and now have a cat named Buttermilk! On Mondays and Wednesdays between 11:30am and 4:30pm I am a teaching assistant and researcher at Pitt and will not be available those hours. I offer sliding scale rates for low income or single parent households. I understand how difficult it can be to find a caretaker who fits your needs and who you trust with your family, so I am available for zoom or in person interview. It is my goal to match with a family who are looking for a reliable babysitter for their kids long term! I appreciate your consideration and hope to be in contact with you soon!

We love Andrew! He is wonderful with our wild 3.5 yo girl. Always on time communicative and amazing at joining her in her world. Highly rec
