Hi! My name is Nasia, and I’m a responsible, engaging, and creative caregiver with experience in both child care and pet care. I enjoy creating structured and fun environments where children feel supported and safe. I’m patient, adaptable, and I love helping families make their daily routines smoother while also fostering creativity. I offer a variety of child care services, including babysitting, after school care, homework help, bedtime routines, and housekeeping. I have experience with toddlers, preschoolers, and school age children. I enjoy creative activities like arts and crafts, dance, story time, outdoor play, and calm wind down activities. I am also First Aid certified. In addition to children, I’m experienced with dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and energy levels. I provide pet care services including walking, feeding, playtime, litter box and basic cleanup. I’m comfortable with large dogs and shedding animals.

Hi there!! My name is Ana Maria, I’m from Colombia and I’ve been living in the USA for almost two years! I moved to Allentown 6 months ago, and I’m currently living with my husband and our cute dog called coda. I have 5 years of experience with kids between 0 to 15 years old, and I was an au pair in the US for 1.5 years.

Booked by 7 families in Birmingham, 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+”
