Caren $25 per hour for 1 child

My first babysitting job was when I was 13 years old. Now I care for my own 2 children, a boy and girl so I can play ball and dress up! I work as a Payroll Specialist FT. As a former school district employee, children's safety and education are important to me. I'm an active volunteer for back to school and related events. Look no further for a mature, responsible sitter that cares!

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.

Booked by 1 family in Oaks, 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
