I'm a warm, dependable caregiver with 20+ years of experience from infants through adolescents, and a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health. I'm also CPR certified for children and adults through the American Red Cross, recently renewed. I believe great childcare starts with getting to know each child and respecting the way each family does things. I like to learn your routines and expectations so I can provide care that feels comfortable and consistent. During our time together, I keep things safe, calm, and fun-whether that means helping with homework, playing a game, getting outside, preparing a meal, or settling into bedtime. I've also worked as a teacher, tutor, and mentor, and I love helping children feel confident, curious, and capable. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to meet kids where they are, and I want parents to feel confident that their children are in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Hi! I’m Laura, a caring and responsible sitter who loves spending time with kids and helping them learn and have fun. I have experience with children of different ages — from babies to preteens — and enjoy reading, arts and crafts, dancing, and outdoor play. I can also help with homework, cooking simple meals, and keeping things organized. I love animals too and I’m happy to help with dogs or cats. I speak both English and Spanish, and families describe me as kind, patient, and reliable.
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!

Hi! I am a returning college student studying animal science (previous engineer haha) I have always loved children and hope to have a child of my own someday, but since this is not the right time for me yet, I thought babysitting would be a wonderful way to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy while also helping other families. I am caring, patient, responsible, and very attentive. I also love animals, so I am very comfortable with families who have pets. I would love to be someone you can trust to care for your little ones with lots of kindness and attention! +) I can speak Korean as native level!
