Hey! My name is Nai, I am a 19 year old female student currently looking for flexible work to match my studies & figured urban sitter would be the way to go! I am an oldest sister to 3 younger siblings and have a large family so I’ve spent most of my years taking care of children & pets of all sorts! I absolutely love working with kids & animals alike, and also have many years of cooking & cleaning experience to pair it with, so I do not mind taking on any other household responsibilities while on the job. I hope you can consider taking me into consideration for whatever position you may require me to fill! I understand relying on another person, much less someone you don’t know, to care for your child or furry companion can be quite daunting, which is why I pride myself on making sure my clients are as comfortable as they can possibly be throughout the entire process and making sure to build trust, & good relationships with any and everyone I meet! So with that, thank you for your consideration & I hope to meet you soon! :)
I am an experienced educator who has worked with children of all ages, teaching arts programs for kids and teens and serving as Director of several arts schools in the Philadelphia area. I hold two master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, maintain current Pennsylvania clearances, and can support your child with reading, homework, educational projects, and creative activities. I am also a lifelong animal lover. I’ve fostered many cats and rabbits, currently care for a dog and two cats, and have experience with turtles and fish. I’m comfortable providing attentive, compassionate care for a wide range of pets. In addition, I’m happy to offer caregiving and companionship for a senior parent or relative. My summer schedule has flexibility, so if you need a different time range than what I have posted, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a dependable, supportive, and fun part of your summer schedule.
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.
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!
Hi! I’m Valeria, I’m 26 years old. I’ve been living in Philadelphia for over 5 years, with a majority of that time being spent as a house mate for families with school age children. I now live independently, but continue to provide care on for those who request my help. Most of my childcare experience has been through family references, so this is my first time promoting myself online. In addition to living with families, I’ve also worked with children going through transitional periods in their family dynamic. I have an excellent understanding of providing not only the routine care and maintenance necessary to a child’s structural development, but also providing emotional support when it’s most needed. My skills include conducting consistent morning routines— getting kids up, making sure they’re dressed nicely for school/programs, making breakfast, and getting them out of the house on time. Evening and night routines have always followed the same structure. As someone who comes from a family of caretakers (my mom has been a nanny for almost 20 years, same as my aunt), I value the importance of a child’s wellbeing starting at the foundation of their care, and creating a stable environment where the family knows what to expect is the best way to ensure of that.
