Nurturing children and supporting families through reliable, high-quality care is my true passion. With five years of experience, I am confident caring for up to three children across all age groups. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly, ensuring a calm environment for your little ones. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and engaging crafts. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or focusing on educational games, I strive to make a positive impact every day. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and always follow your preferred communication method for updates. Since I have a car and love animals, I am fully prepared to integrate into your family's routine. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your children's growth and happiness.

Hi, my name is Xue. I’m a Temple University graduate with a background in Early Childhood Education and over three years of experience working with children in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I primarily offer babysitting services for preschool and elementary-aged children. I create a calm, structured, and engaging environment, and I enjoy reading with children, supporting routines, and providing gentle academic guidance when appropriate. My experience includes supporting early literacy, homework help, and age-appropriate activities that encourage independence and confidence. I’m patient, attentive, and highly communicative, and I value building trust with both children and families. I take pride in being reliable, professional, and warm, and I strive to provide care that families can truly feel comfortable with.

Booked by 1 family in Glenside, 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”

Hello! I'm Jada, I'm a recently licensed nurse with BLS certification and 1.5 years of experience working with children and seniors in the nursing school clinical setting. I enjoy this population because I consistently learn something new everytime I'm with them. I'm a great communicator, problem-solver, and critical thinker and have been known to construct solutions quickly. I'm a great caregiver because I want to do the best I can to meet the needs of my clients by being present, engaged, and having fun!

"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!"
