I currently work as a preschool and PRE-K teacher and am up-to-date with my CPR, First-aid and fire safety. I have Multiple early childhood education trainings and am in college for an early childhood degree. I enjoy teaching a lot and love watching the next generation of kids grow!
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.
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+”
Hi, I'm Juliette! I'm a registered nurse with a background in education and a passion for childcare. Originally from San Francisco, I've been living in Philly for the past two years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, including those with ADHD and autism. I love keeping kids engaged with creative, screen-free activities like outdoor adventures, crafting, reading, and games. I'm bilingual in French and happy to incorporate it into activities or conversations! I can also assist with cooking, running errands, and light housekeeping. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

My name is Emylee. I am available to babysit. I also have some experience with babies and I am very patient and do not mind crying or anything like that. I am willing to work with parents to figure out hours that will work for both of us. I can do pet care. I am willing to help with homework, clean, and do fun activities with those I am watching.
