Hey yall 💗 I am Kaya , a 25 year old Childcare worker from Philadelphia. I have worked as a babysitter, a daycare teacher and I am currently a Substitute teacher for K-12. I currently babysit for two families with one year-old Baby boys that keep me on my toes haha. ‼️Important: I am CPR certified and also have my childcare clearances! I can also send my references and letters of recommendation if needed. ‼️Disclaimers: •I am a local babysitter in my area and I don’t drive therefore, anything over 3 miles from the Overbrook Area will be a $30 transportation fee per every 3mi ! :) •My babysitting hour minimum is 5 hours • I can babysit overnight (please contact me to discuss rates, schedules, etc) Please check out my reach-out if interested! I am open to FaceTime calls, emails, and phone calls.

Hi my Name is Siena and I am college student. I have always babysat or hung out with little kids. Being that I grew up around a lot of little ones, it is something that I love to do.

Rivkah $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rivkah, and I work as an assistant teacher at CTA. I am currently studying forensic psychology and am deeply passionate about the field of psychology. I take pride in my skills, which I believe will enable me to understand and effectively work with children. I am certified in BLS and have received training in adult, child, and infant emergency care. I work with students aged 3-4, but I have been involved in childcare for various ages since I was 12. I love and am great with all animals, although I am best when it comes to dogs. I am currently on summer break and available to assist with any needs you may have. While I am comfortable with a wide range of services, I excel particularly with younger kids. As a teacher, one of my main responsibilities is to create projects that help children develop their skills and learn to express themselves. My work has provided me with extensive experience in meeting the unique needs of each child and finding what works best for them. I hope I can be of assistance! :)

Being around animals brings me joy, and having the opportunity to take care of your dog, cat or other pet is something that I truly love. I'll take care of your fur baby as if it's my own, and I'll do everything possible to make sure that their time with me is super enjoyable! I'm experienced with both puppies, kittens and senior cats and dogs. I've given pets their insulin injection, and I'm able to give even the most stubborn pet their oral medication. In my spare time I enjoy biking, swimming and strength training.

"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!"
