Booked by 1 family in Gladwyne, PA

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”

Ameerah $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Gladwyne, PA

Hi! I'm a teen college student studying nursing with a strong passion for caregiving and working with children. I have experience working in a daycare where I helped supervise children, supported daily routines, and created a safe, positive environment. I also completed a nursing program at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where I gained hands-on exposure to patient care and learned professionalism, teamwork, and the importance of compassionate care. I am CPR certified, Stop the Bleed certified, and ServSafe certified, which has trained me in emergency response, safety, and maintaining clean environments. I will be in the Philadelphia and Upper Darby area from May-August and am also looking for jobs during my winter break. I will be in the East Stroudsburg area during the college academic year. I am responsible, reliable, and passionate about working in care-focused environments where I can support others and continue building my experience.

Mary $15 per hour for 1 child

I worked as a Child and Youth Program Assistant at Ramstein Air Force Base for a year, where I provided care, supervision, and developmental support for children of various ages. My responsibilities included leading activities tailored to different age groups, ensuring a safe and engaging environment, and maintaining positive communication with parents. Beyond my professional experience, I have a natural ability to connect with others, especially in caregiving roles. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, which allows me to meet the unique needs of children, seniors, or pets. My background in child development, combined with strong organizational skills and a nurturing personality, makes me a great caregiver. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own dog, ensuring she gets proper attention, exercise, and care. My time in the military also taught me discipline, responsibility, and crisis management—skills that translate well into caregiving roles.
