Hi there! I’m a warm, reliable caregiver with years of experience supporting children, seniors, and pets. I’ve worked as a daycare assistant, after-school instructor, and family sitter, always bringing patience, creativity, and structure to every day. I’m trained in early childhood development, homework help, and safe play. I also grew up with four Labradors and helped my brother with dog breeding, so I’m confident around pets too. Whether it’s preparing meals, engaging little ones in learning, or simply providing a calm, kind presence, I’m here to support your household with care you can trust.
“Jennifer was punctual and professional! Our baby was asleep so we did not need her to do any child care, but she was great with our dog.”
Hello! My name is Arabella, and I am a college student offering child and pet care services. I love working with kids - I have experience babysitting, working as a Camp Counselor, and teaching martial arts to kids everywhere from ages 2-14! I have transported kids to after-school events, organized activities, and made meals, among other things. I am CPR and First Aid Certified as well! I also have experience petsitting (dogs, cats, and birds) and housesitting.
Hi! My name is Hannah. I'm a young professional working in the non-profit legal space, and am currently saving up to go to law school. I'm offering child care and pet care services. I've been baby-sitting since I was 15 years old, and have cared for kids of all ages! I was also a camp counselor for 6 years, and primarily worked with kids ages 6-10. I have experience doing pickup/drop-off from school, crafts, tutoring, preparing meals, helping with potty-training, and much more. I love reading books, doing art projects, and encouraging imaginative play with the kids that I care for.
I'm a graduate student and long-time neighborhood babysitter, house-sitter, and dog/cat-sitter! I grew up around a big family with lots of kids, often taking care of the youngest ones over summer breaks, and, in college, became a reliable source for babysitting and animal care in my community! I am also a Teach For America Fellow, tutoring elementary and middle school aged students. I have a reliable car, and am a jack of all trades when it comes to meeting your family's needs!
Hi! My name is Ada and I'm a junior at the University of Virginia. I am offering childcare and household services. I have helped take care of my two younger brothers and four younger cousins since they were born. I love babysitting and I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (in addition to those I'm related to!) since I was about 13. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with children and playing games (both indoor and outdoor). I have had several jobs tutoring children in reading, writing, math, and French, through Philly Reading Coaches, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, and Teach for America. I'm happy to do any tutoring or homework help. Additionally, in high school, I worked at a summer camp for numerous years and I have experience teaching kids theater, dance, and various sports. In terms of household services, I am incredibly organized and I would be happy to help with organization, cleaning, cooking simple meals, laundry, and any other general tidying up. Thanks so much!
