Booked by 2 families in Gladwyne, PA

Hello my name is Latasha. I am a mother of two young adults. I have much experience with all people from all ages; ranging from new born to seniors. My main focus of work these days are with babies ages newborn to toddlers. I love kids and babysitting in general. I am not a grandmother yet, I am the auntie and godmother that ever body loves! I worked with head start to high schoolers. I am very active and outgoing. My children keep me young! I enjoy outside activities such as walking and going to the park. I also enjoy singing songs and other exciting indoor and outdoor activities. I am patient, kind, and efficient. I also love animals! I have a cat name Lilly, who is near and dear to my heart!

“Latasha was so sweet with our little boy. He's in a real separation anxiety phase and she dealt with it so lovingly and patiently. Will definitely contact her again! Thank you Latasha!!”

Booked by 1 family in Gladwyne, PA

Greetings Families, My name is Nicola I am originally from the island of Jamaica. I am a certified teacher for over 20 years specializing in Reading and Writing instruction for Pre-K-8th grade. Being a teacher is often times also like being a second Mom or Aunty to the children I serve. It is humbling and a blessing. I love to travel, be in nature, music, art, cultures, literature and sports. I love to share my interests and experiences with children and learn from them as well. I enjoy being with children because they keep me youthful and enable me to continue to see thee world in new ways, and stay in touch with joy, hope, love and learning. You can rest assured that when your precious ones are in my care, "Every little thing is gonna be alright."

“Nicola was fantastic! She arrived on time and prepared with a couple fun activities for our toddler. Our daughter loved her right away. She was professional, enthusiastic, kind, calm, and upbeat. She handled dinner and bedtime with ease and grace. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
