Jada $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I'm Jada, I'm a recently licensed nurse with BLS certification and 1.5 years of experience working with children and seniors in the nursing school clinical setting. I enjoy this population because I consistently learn something new everytime I'm with them. I'm a great communicator, problem-solver, and critical thinker and have been known to construct solutions quickly. I'm a great caregiver because I want to do the best I can to meet the needs of my clients by being present, engaged, and having fun!

Booked by 7 families in Exton, PA
My name is Kate, and I am a 34-year-old elementary school teacher living in South Philly. I have my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and I have been teaching for 12 years. I have worked with numerous grade levels (K, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7th) in Pennsylvania and South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in South Philly. Beyond that, I was previously a babysitter for years while in college, a swim instructor and life guard, and I still hold my CPR/AED certification. I also have up-to-date PA Child Abuse clearances and FBI clearances due to working for the School District. My schedule has me home by 3:00 p.m. every day, and I would love to fill some time helping out some families in the area with any pet, house, or babysitting needs! I am also available to tutor, in addition to these services. In my "spare" time, I love to work out, spend time with my fur babies, and read, read, read! If you feel like I would be a good fit for your needs, I would love to schedule a time to meet up and see if we can work something out. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Kathryn was great! Very communicative and flexible. Our daughter had a blast and will definitely rehire! A+”
