Solei $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Solei. I am a Registered Nurse with nearly 10 years of pediatric nursing experience and recently earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with children and families in a variety of healthcare settings and currently serve as a school nurse, where I provide daily care, health education, and support to students of all ages. I am compassionate, dependable, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. My medical background allows me to confidently manage health concerns, emergencies, medications, and developmental needs while creating a safe, nurturing environment. Families often describe me as calm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks and help maintain a structured, positive routine for children.

Hallie $22 per hour for 1 child

I have ten years of experience working as a childcare provider and educator. I have worked as a preschool teacher at a montessori school, full time nanny, special needs caretaker, dance teacher, personal assistant, dog sitter, camp counselor, and tutor. I have experience working with infants through adults. My approach as a nanny is to nurture each child’s personal development, foster creativity and learning, and most importantly to ensure health and safety. I genuinely love working with children and I do my best to meet each family’s individual needs.

Christine $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a newly retired pediatric nurse who recently moved to the Philadelphia area to be closer to my children after many years at the Jersey Shore. I'm now seeking part-time work as a nanny. I bring extensive experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs, through my work with CHOP, Children’s Seashore House, The Yale School, and Bayada Nurses. I’m passionate about supporting families, creating a safe and nurturing environment, and building strong, trusting relationships. I’m also a dog lover, having just lost my beloved 17 year old Bichon and frequently looking after my 2 grandpups while my daughter and her husband are traveling. I am happy to help with your pets!

Olivia $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I would absolutely love to babysit for your family! I have nine nieces and nephews I've helped my sisters care for since I was 10, so I have lots of experience and love kids more than anything. For example, I spent the first part of the COVID pandemic with my sister helping her raise her two newborn twins (while also caring for two older boys!) I received my undergraduate degree in Applied Exercise Science at the University of Michigan in 2023. I am currently earning my master's and teaching certification from IUP to become a K-12 health and PE teacher here in Philly! Multiple families have rehired me for years and I've had the privilege of watching their kids grow from newborns to kindergartners and beyond! I dogsit as well and am CPR/First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. If you're curious, I have a five-star rating on the babysitting app Bambino with 24 reviews. I love caring for children and look forward to doing so here in Philly!
