Hi there! My name is Michelle. I'm originally from the Chicagoland area, but am so happy to now call Philadelphia home. With over 15 years of babysitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children of all ages, backgrounds, and personalities. From 3-month-old infants to pre-teens and beyond, I adapt to each child’s unique needs, whether that means preparing meals, organizing activities, or providing safe transportation. My goal is always to prioritize the well-being of the family while fostering a fun, nurturing environment where kids can learn and play. Some of my favorite activities include pretend play, games, puzzles, reading, arts and crafts, sports, and outdoor adventures. I also have experience caring for children with specific needs, including hearing impairments, severe allergies, and asthma. I’m confident in following detailed instructions for medications, dietary restrictions, or special routines, ensuring your child’s safety and comfort at all times. Beyond childcare, I enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals for the kids. I’m quick to pick up on nap and bedtime routines, and I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bathtime, homework help, pet care, and assisting with household chores. You can trust that I’ll care for your child as if they were my own, giving you the peace of mind every parent deserves. And if you have pets, that’s an added bonus—I love animals! In my free time, I enjoy exploring Philly's vibrant food scene with my fiancé, traveling, reading, and spending time outdoors. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring, and enthusiastic babysitter, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love the opportunity to connect and discuss how I can support your family. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Booked by 7 families in Wilmington, DE

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+”

Booked by 8 families in Wilmington, DE

I am a proud mom of two beautiful daughters who are now 22 and 20 years old. Raising them gave me so much hands-on experience with children of all ages, and I absolutely loved every stage. I also have professional experience working in daycare settings, especially with infants and toddlers. I've cared for babies from a very young age, handling feeding, naps, diapering, and all the daily routines with patience and care. In addition, I've had the opportunity to support children with special needs through activities tailored to their abilities, and I really enjoy creating fun, engaging play-based activities that help kids learn and grow—whether it's sensory play, arts and crafts, music, outdoor time, or simple developmental games. I'm reliable, nurturing, and energetic, and I treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your family! Looking forward to hearing from you,
