Lushay $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi I am Lushay 25 years old I'm a caregiver with a passion for nurturing children's growth and development. With five years of experience in childcare, I've had the privilege of supporting families and providing a safe and nurturing environment for their little ones. Patience and creativity are my superpowers, which help me connect with children and make learning fun. I believe in open communication with parents, keeping them updated about their child's day and addressing any concerns they may have. Whether it's engaging in outdoor activities, playing board games, or exploring educational games, I thrive on creating a joyful and enriching experience for the children in my care. I am happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, and travel-related tasks. As a certified CPR provider, safety is always my top priority. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your family.

Booked by 7 families in Atco, NJ

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+”
