Greetings Families, My name is Nicola I am originally from the island of Jamaica. I am a certified teacher for over 20 years specializing in Reading and Writing instruction for Pre-K-8th grade. Being a teacher is often times also like being a second Mom or Aunty to the children I serve. It is humbling and a blessing. I love to travel, be in nature, music, art, cultures, literature and sports. I love to share my interests and experiences with children and learn from them as well. I enjoy being with children because they keep me youthful and enable me to continue to see thee world in new ways, and stay in touch with joy, hope, love and learning. You can rest assured that when your precious ones are in my care, "Every little thing is gonna be alright."
“Nicola was fantastic! She arrived on time and prepared with a couple fun activities for our toddler. Our daughter loved her right away. She was professional, enthusiastic, kind, calm, and upbeat. She handled dinner and bedtime with ease and grace. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
Hi! My name is Lia, and I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced babysitter based in Philadelphia. I’m fully CPR certified and hold all Pennsylvania Department of Education clearances required to work in schools. For the past five years, I’ve worked as a teacher aide, supporting children of different ages and learning styles — including those with special needs. This background has given me strong skills in patience, communication, and creating structured yet nurturing environments where kids can thrive. I love helping children feel safe and comfortable, whether it’s during bedtime routines, quiet play, or overnight care. Families appreciate that I bring the calm, reliability, and professionalism of a classroom setting into their home. Availability: 🌜 Evenings, nights, and weekends (flexible hours) 📍 Philadelphia and surrounding areas Credentials: • 5 years of experience as a Teacher Aide • CPR & First Aid Certified • Pennsylvania Child Abuse Clearance • Criminal Background Check & FBI Fingerprint Clearance • References available upon request Languages: • English 🇺🇸 • Spanish 🇪🇸 • Basic Portuguese 🇧🇷 Fun fact: I’ve traveled to more than 20 countries and love sharing stories and cultures that inspire curiosity in children.
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! :)
Hello folks! I have two years as a Girl Scout Camp Counselor for a sleepaway camp, with one of those years being the leader of my entire unit. Furthermore, I have 3 years of pet sitting for both cats and dogs, with those jobs including keeping up with the house (mail, cleaning, etc). I am currently a Graduate student at Temple University for Voice Performance. I have received my Bachelor's degree from The University of Tulsa for Vocal Performance.
Hi! My name is Olivia and I would absolutely love to babysit for your family! I have nine nieces and nephews I've helped my sisters care for since I was 10, so I have lots of experience and love kids more than anything. For example, I spent the first part of the COVID pandemic with my sister helping her raise her two newborn twins (while also caring for two older boys!) I received my undergraduate degree in Applied Exercise Science at the University of Michigan in 2023. I am currently earning my master's and teaching certification from IUP to become a K-12 health and PE teacher here in Philly! Multiple families have rehired me for years and I've had the privilege of watching their kids grow from newborns to kindergartners and beyond! I dogsit as well and am CPR/First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. If you're curious, I have a five-star rating on the babysitting app Bambino with 24 reviews. I love caring for children and look forward to doing so here in Philly!

"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!"
