Jackie $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Jackie and I have my teaching degree from SUNY Cortland and am certified in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education. I'm currently pursuing my masters in Early Childhood Literacy from LIU. I'm looking for a fulfilling role as a nanny and to help children grow and prosper! I am very active and love to do activities such as crafts, sports, games, and whatever else their interests are. I have many years of experience with kids from having worked in schools, a daycare, and babysitting from a young age. My most recent role was in a primary school so my heart loves the little ones, but I really enjoy all ages! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out :)
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
