$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Glenolden, PA

Hello, my name is Jessica, but you can call me AJ! I work as a Special Education teacher for 3rd-5th grade, but have worked with children of all abilities ages 6-14 as a teacher and camp counselor. While I'm out of the classroom over the summer, I would love to help care for your family! Some of my favorite things are arts and crafts, nutritious snacks, playing outside, and developing learning skills through fun and engaging activities. I also speak Spanish, and would love to help your family practice skills bilingually.

I absolutely Jessica! I will definitely hire her again. My daughter Kynnedi absolutely loves you! Thank you so much for everything

Michael $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Michael. I've always enjoyed working with children and helping them learn and grow. I first started working with kids in high school, where I volunteered teaching Sunday school, and today I work as a substitute teacher, mainly providing support for students with special needs. My college coursework in psychology and neuroscience has given me a deeper understanding of child development and behavior, which I bring into my work. I'm patient, empathetic, and see the importance in creating a safe environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, keeping a routine, or just being a stable presence, I aim to meet each child's individual needs. I'm also a big animal lover and have recently owned two cats, so I'm happy to care for pets as well.

Ameerah $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Glenolden, PA

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.
