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!

Valeria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Valeria, I’m 26 years old. I’ve been living in Philadelphia for over 5 years, with a majority of that time being spent as a house mate for families with school age children. I now live independently, but continue to provide care on for those who request my help. Most of my childcare experience has been through family references, so this is my first time promoting myself online. In addition to living with families, I’ve also worked with children going through transitional periods in their family dynamic. I have an excellent understanding of providing not only the routine care and maintenance necessary to a child’s structural development, but also providing emotional support when it’s most needed. My skills include conducting consistent morning routines— getting kids up, making sure they’re dressed nicely for school/programs, making breakfast, and getting them out of the house on time. Evening and night routines have always followed the same structure. As someone who comes from a family of caretakers (my mom has been a nanny for almost 20 years, same as my aunt), I value the importance of a child’s wellbeing starting at the foundation of their care, and creating a stable environment where the family knows what to expect is the best way to ensure of that.

Xuelian $25 per hour for 1 child

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.

"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!"
