Hi, my name is Xue. I’m a Temple University graduate with a background in Early Childhood Education and over three years of experience working with children in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I primarily offer babysitting services for preschool and elementary-aged children. I create a calm, structured, and engaging environment, and I enjoy reading with children, supporting routines, and providing gentle academic guidance when appropriate. My experience includes supporting early literacy, homework help, and age-appropriate activities that encourage independence and confidence. I’m patient, attentive, and highly communicative, and I value building trust with both children and families. I take pride in being reliable, professional, and warm, and I strive to provide care that families can truly feel comfortable with.
I am a 53 year old grandmother of one, mother of two daughters. I am looking for extra work outside of my home- I can also do light housework, overnight stays and run errands.
Hello, my name is Jessica, but you can call me AJ! I work as a Special Education teacher for 3rd-5th grade, but have worked with children of all abilities ages 6-14 as a teacher and camp counselor. While I'm out of the classroom over the summer, I would love to help care for your family! Some of my favorite things are arts and crafts, nutritious snacks, playing outside, and developing learning skills through fun and engaging activities. I also speak Spanish, and would love to help your family practice skills bilingually.
“I absolutely Jessica! I will definitely hire her again. My daughter Kynnedi absolutely loves you! Thank you so much for everything”
Hello! My name is Tess. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have been babysitting for the past ten years. During the pandemic, I worked as a nanny for a pod of four children between the ages of four and eight. I enjoyed programming different crafts and games for the kids to keep busy! I have recently returned home after college, and I am excited to start babysitting again. Please reach out! I have a lot of availability in my schedule. Best, Tess
Hello, my name is Jordan, I am a college student with three beautiful cats, Danny, Skippy, and stormy. I’ve been dog sitting, housesitting, and cat sitting for about 12 years. It started with helping my family anytime we house sit, and now I’m trusted by friends, family, and family friends to watch their house, children, and pets! I am going back to college for a degree in social work, and I’m currently working at a nearby hospital as a behavior tech. I used to be a nursing major, and I still keep up with my certifications including CPR/first aid. I hope I can be of assistance to anyone who might need it.
