Ronell $25 per hour for 1 child

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 :)

Lauren $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Lauren Fowler! I am currently 23 years old and in college studying psychology. I have a huge passion for kids and spend almost all my free time babysitting and loving on babies. I have been a nanny twice for ages ranging 1 month-7 years old. I am comfortable working with multiple children as I might prefer more if I had the option. The more the better. I also volunteer in at my church every Sunday in the walkers room. Every parent loves me and I can provide recommendations if needed! I look forward to talking!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 26 families in Lansdowne, PA

Hello parents, families and those seeking help in the NJ area! I’m a New Jersey–based sitter available up to 4 hours a day, 2–3 days a week. I offer gentle, attentive care for infants through age 3, light pet care for pets that don’t need a lot of physical activity, and limited senior support like rides to doctor appointments or quick drop-in visits for medication reminders and light mobility exercises. I focus on calm, low-stress care so I can show up fully and reliably. If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to connect!

“Iesha was great with my boys… My 10 year old said she’s the best babysitter they’ve EVER had!!!”

Booked by 1 family in Lansdowne, PA

Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm a first year graduate student at Penn studying public health. I am offering child care for all ages and household services. I have babysat for infants and children ages 3-6 since I was 20 and have also gained experience with a wide age range of children through opportunities with my church as a Sunday school teacher, nursery volunteer, and elementary school volunteer. I've also had paid experience caring for groups of 5-10 children with another sitter (also through church). I'm also CPR certified and have received several trainings on basic first aid, Heimlich, and CPR. I don't have a car in Philly but do have a driver's license and am also comfortable taking transit or walking with kids as needed. I've also been responsible in the past for leading games, crafts, and giving homework help. I also love getting active with kids and spending time outdoors. I'm also more than happy to provide help with household tasks and can cook, clean, do laundry, and run errands. I'm also comfortable with any pets and have experience caring for both cats and dogs.
