Hello, my name is Samantha. I am a proud mother of three boys and currently work with children in a school setting. I have previous experience supporting children with special needs in a clinical environment, as well as working in childcare settings. Additionally, I have provided in-home care for elderly individuals. I have a strong passion for working with both children and the elderly, and I value the meaningful experiences and lessons I have gained through these roles.

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!

Hello! I have worked with families with newborns to preteens and as an educator with students from 2nd grade to 12th grade over the past 9 years. I’ve created steam and art programs for all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, that engage a diversity of learners. I’m especially interested in organizing non-screen related activities. Currently I am an artist with flexible hours. I'm available for household services, as well. I love cooking, art and the outdoors! Note: any shift over 8 hours will have an additional overtime fee (multi-day commitments excluded)

Booked by 7 families in Norwood, PA

My name is Kate, and I am a 34-year-old elementary school teacher living in South Philly. I have my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and I have been teaching for 12 years. I have worked with numerous grade levels (K, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7th) in Pennsylvania and South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in South Philly. Beyond that, I was previously a babysitter for years while in college, a swim instructor and life guard, and I still hold my CPR/AED certification. I also have up-to-date PA Child Abuse clearances and FBI clearances due to working for the School District. My schedule has me home by 3:00 p.m. every day, and I would love to fill some time helping out some families in the area with any pet, house, or babysitting needs! I am also available to tutor, in addition to these services. In my "spare" time, I love to work out, spend time with my fur babies, and read, read, read! If you feel like I would be a good fit for your needs, I would love to schedule a time to meet up and see if we can work something out. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Kathryn was great! Very communicative and flexible. Our daughter had a blast and will definitely rehire! A+”
