Anbriel $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.

$18 per hour for 1 child

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. I’m a responsible, hard working, kind and easy going person, and I like to provide a fun and safe environment for the children I take care of
