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.

Rivkah $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rivkah, and I work as an assistant teacher at CTA. I am currently studying forensic psychology and am deeply passionate about the field of psychology. I take pride in my skills, which I believe will enable me to understand and effectively work with children. I am certified in BLS and have received training in adult, child, and infant emergency care. I work with students aged 3-4, but I have been involved in childcare for various ages since I was 12. I love and am great with all animals, although I am best when it comes to dogs. I am currently on summer break and available to assist with any needs you may have. While I am comfortable with a wide range of services, I excel particularly with younger kids. As a teacher, one of my main responsibilities is to create projects that help children develop their skills and learn to express themselves. My work has provided me with extensive experience in meeting the unique needs of each child and finding what works best for them. I hope I can be of assistance! :)

Xuelian $25 per hour for 1 child

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.
