Ray Philadelphia
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ray and I have over a decade of childcare and tutoring experience, ranging from infants all the way up to high school. I studied inclusive education and fine arts at Houghton College in western New York. Though my childcare experience started at a young age babysitting, I have worked in professional settings as a nanny and teacher for kids of all ages. Most recently I was a preschool teacher for three years. I am currently working part time as a server on the weekends, but would love to get the chance to work with kids again! I have worked as a nanny and tutor for years, assisting with homework of all subjects. I also have experience with household errands such as cleaning, shopping, and laundry. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and have lived with cats and/or dogs my whole life.

Nalo Wilmington
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nalo, and I’m currently a sophomore at North Carolina Central University studying nursing. I’m CPR certified and have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I’ve worked at Chuck E. Cheese as a party host for four years and at a daycare for a year and a half, where I’ve cared for infants and toddlers. I also babysit for families outside of work and have experience caring for multiple children at once. I truly enjoy working with kids and love keeping them entertained with games, crafts, outdoor activities, and other age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and always make sure children are safe and comfortable while in my care. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, cooking, and running errands when needed. I’m available for occasional and weekend babysitting and would love to connect with families looking for a reliable and caring babysitter!

Hello! I am an experienced care giver on many levels! Not only have I taken care of my nieces and nephews since birth (now teenagers!), but also the children of many friends. I am a long time pet Mom to dogs, cats, and hamsters. Additionally I am a certified EMT since 2008. Also, I am a little bit of a "clean freak." As busy as life can be, I understand the importance and comfort of a clean home, and I am more than happy to do that for you as well!
