"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Alesha $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi I am Alesha. I am a caring coach and youth leader with 10+ years of experience working with children. Skilled in sports, safety, behavior support, fun activities, and creating a positive, safe environment for kids.
Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child
Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.
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!
Francesca $18 per hour for 1 child
I am a student at the University of Pennsylvania and I love working with children and pets! I have about 2 years of babysitting experience, working with children (infants - 10 years old). My responsibilities have included preparing food, reading to kids, putting them to sleep, cleaning, etc. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I am also conversational in German, Mandarin Chinese, and French. I am CPR certified. I have also volunteered in pet shelters for about 2 years. I hope to share my experience and passion with others!
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!
