Skylah $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Skylah, and I’m a 22 year old sitter with a patient, optimistic, friendly, and reliable personality. I offer babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting services, and I truly enjoy helping people feel comfortable and supported while they’re away from home. When it comes to childcare, I have experience working with kids ages 1 to 13, including children with special needs. I love creating a fun and calm environment, and some of my favorite activities with kids include doing crafts, working on puzzles, going to the park, and listening to music together. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks if needed to keep things running smoothly. In addition to childcare, I also provide pet care services. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I’m comfortable with large animals and pets that shed. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning up, or simply spending time playing with them, I always aim to give pets the same love and attention they’d get from their owners. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely passionate about caring for others whether it’s your children, pets, or home, I’d love to connect and see how I can help!

Christine $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!

"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!"
