Hi I am Alesha. I am a caring coach and youth leader with 10+ years of experience working with children. Skilled in sports, safety, behavior support, fun activities, and creating a positive, safe environment for kids.
Hello! My name is Tiayanna (T-T to the littles’) I’m a 28 year old, in school and a mom! I am a well experienced nanny/caretaker with about 8 years experience. I’m looking for a new family for a few days out of the week while my children are in school. My classes are online, so I am very flexible with scheduling. I have been a head teacher at Wee-Care Childcare center for over 2 years, then turned over to nannying and have been a helping hand for families ever since! As a more experienced nanny I was able to care for the sweetest of newborn cuties to the most fun and active 4 year olds. Our days would consist of daily walks to the park to play with our friends in the neighborhood, trips to fun outdoor places. We would also have craft days and indoor activities that are so fun and creative all while developing appropriate skills! I help prepare lunches, transportation like to and from school and nap time. I also help the parents with light house work like laundry, dishes and just keeping everything tidy. I’m also a mother so I like to think I just have a motherly feel. Im very bubbly, energetic and have a caring personality that always makes the kids feel loved! And mostly, RELIABLE. Im looking for a long-time family so if you’re interested, I hope we are the right fit for each other!
Hello, my name is Samantha. I am a proud mother of three boys and currently work with children in a school setting. I have previous experience supporting children with special needs in a clinical environment, as well as working in childcare settings. Additionally, I have provided in-home care for elderly individuals. I have a strong passion for working with both children and the elderly, and I value the meaningful experiences and lessons I have gained through these roles.
Hi! My name is Abigail, but I prefer Abby:) I love working with kids and helping them express themselves though art. I have 3 years of experience. I can help with Travel and Cooking/Meal Preparation etc. I also have experience with children with special needs. I am also bilingual and can help with homework if needed.
My name is Kate, and I am a 34-year-old elementary school teacher living in South Philly. I have my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and I have been teaching for 12 years. I have worked with numerous grade levels (K, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7th) in Pennsylvania and South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in South Philly. Beyond that, I was previously a babysitter for years while in college, a swim instructor and life guard, and I still hold my CPR/AED certification. I also have up-to-date PA Child Abuse clearances and FBI clearances due to working for the School District. My schedule has me home by 3:00 p.m. every day, and I would love to fill some time helping out some families in the area with any pet, house, or babysitting needs! I am also available to tutor, in addition to these services. In my "spare" time, I love to work out, spend time with my fur babies, and read, read, read! If you feel like I would be a good fit for your needs, I would love to schedule a time to meet up and see if we can work something out. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Kathryn was great! Very communicative and flexible. Our daughter had a blast and will definitely rehire! A+”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
