Hey yall 💗 I am Kaya , a 25 year old Childcare worker from Philadelphia. I have worked as a babysitter, a daycare teacher and I am currently a Substitute teacher for K-12. I currently babysit for two families with one year-old Baby boys that keep me on my toes haha. ‼️Important: I am CPR certified and also have my childcare clearances! I can also send my references and letters of recommendation if needed. ‼️Disclaimers: •I am a local babysitter in my area and I don’t drive therefore, anything over 3 miles from the Overbrook Area will be a $30 transportation fee per every 3mi ! :) •My babysitting hour minimum is 5 hours • I can babysit overnight (please contact me to discuss rates, schedules, etc) Please check out my reach-out if interested! I am open to FaceTime calls, emails, and phone calls.

Hello! I have worked with families with newborns to preteens and as an educator with students from 2nd grade to 12th grade over the past 9 years. I’ve created steam and art programs for all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, that engage a diversity of learners. I’m especially interested in organizing non-screen related activities. Currently I am an artist with flexible hours. I'm available for household services, as well. I love cooking, art and the outdoors!
