Booked by 7 families in Camden, 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+

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.

Hello my name is Latasha. I am a mother of two young adults. I have much experience with all people from all ages; ranging from new born to seniors. My main focus of work these days are with babies ages newborn to toddlers. I love kids and babysitting in general. I am not a grandmother yet, I am the auntie and godmother that ever body loves! I worked with head start to high schoolers. I am very active and outgoing. My children keep me young! I enjoy outside activities such as walking and going to the park. I also enjoy singing songs and other exciting indoor and outdoor activities. I am patient, kind, and efficient. I also love animals! I have a cat name Lilly, who is near and dear to my heart!

Latasha was so sweet with our little boy. He's in a real separation anxiety phase and she dealt with it so lovingly and patiently. Will definitely contact her again! Thank you Latasha!!

$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.
