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.
My first babysitting job was when I was 13 years old. Now I care for my own 2 children, a boy and girl so I can play ball and dress up! I work as a Payroll Specialist FT. As a former school district employee, children's safety and education are important to me. I'm an active volunteer for back to school and related events. Look no further for a mature, responsible sitter that cares!
Hey! Nice to meet you :) My name is Ronell. I am from The Netherlands and I speak Dutch, English is my second language. After 2 years of being an au pair I will be moving back to my boyfriend in Philadelphia in march. Therefore I am looking for a part- time job. I come from a big family, where I would babysit my nephews occasionally. In America I have been living with 2 lovely families in Philadelphia and San Francisco. With kids aged between 7 months old to 7 years old. I consider my self active, creative, patient, observant and caring. A master in building forts, the best in hide and seek and I love doing arts and crafts. All while we listen to The Eagles and Bob Marley. I hope to meet you soon :)

Hello! My name is Juliet, I am a 31 year old residing in Bella Vista, and I have over a decade of experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to teens. I currently nanny for a 2.5-year-old and previously cared for two school-aged children, as well as worked as an after-school teacher with students from Pre-K through 6th grade. I became an aunt when I was 12 and took a very active role in the care of my niece and nephew, so childcare is near and dear to my heart! I love supporting children’s growth through play, creativity, and consistency. With a background in psychology, I bring a trauma-informed and developmentally focused approach to childcare, making sure each child feels safe, supported, and celebrated. I’m also happy to assist with household tasks, meal prep, and transportation to keep family routines running smoothly. Families describe me as reliable, nurturing, and engaged. I would be honored to bring my experience, patience, and enthusiasm to your family and help your children thrive.
