Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Valeria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Valeria, I’m 26 years old. I’ve been living in Philadelphia for over 5 years, with a majority of that time being spent as a house mate for families with school age children. I now live independently, but continue to provide care on for those who request my help. Most of my childcare experience has been through family references, so this is my first time promoting myself online. In addition to living with families, I’ve also worked with children going through transitional periods in their family dynamic. I have an excellent understanding of providing not only the routine care and maintenance necessary to a child’s structural development, but also providing emotional support when it’s most needed. My skills include conducting consistent morning routines— getting kids up, making sure they’re dressed nicely for school/programs, making breakfast, and getting them out of the house on time. Evening and night routines have always followed the same structure. As someone who comes from a family of caretakers (my mom has been a nanny for almost 20 years, same as my aunt), I value the importance of a child’s wellbeing starting at the foundation of their care, and creating a stable environment where the family knows what to expect is the best way to ensure of that.

Nehemias 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Nehemias. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, starting with my younger brother since he was a baby—who’s now 7—and helping out with younger cousins and family friends as well. I’m now 20 and a rising junior at the University of Pennsylvania, where I work in education and tutoring. I genuinely love caring for kids and being someone they can feel safe, supported, and comfortable with. I’m open to homework help in all subjects, with a strong focus on math, which I’ve taught and tutored at many levels. I currently TA at a local middle school, lead small-group instruction, and mentor students in both academic and personal development. I’ve also supported high school students through college applications, coordinated summer education programs, and worked with younger children in one-on-one and group settings. I have CPR training and have experience staying calm and focused in emergency situations. In addition to helping save my two-year-old cousin using CPR, I’ve also helped another young child access emergency care and ER services after experiencing a life-threatening accident, making sure to communicate across language barriers and coordinate between adults and medical staff to ensure immediate support. I’m comfortable taking charge when needed and know how to communicate clearly across different teams and situations. I also speak Spanish fluently, and I’ve passed extensive background checks through my work in schools and mentorship programs. Whether it’s reading together, helping with homework, or providing a nurturing, structured environment, I aim to bring patience, responsibility, and care to every family I work with.

“Nehemias has been helping with his little brother since he was a baby — feeding, playing, putting him to sleep, all that. He even teached him how to read. He’s really good with kids and super responsible. I never gotta worry when he’s watching them. Kids just feel safe around him. Honestly, he’s been such a help to me and any family would be lucky to have him.”

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.
