Hi! I am a college student becoming a child psychologist and advocate for abused and traumatized kids. I believe that children deserve the world, and adults owe it to them. I have been working with kiddos since I was 13, and I have loved every moment that I have shared with every child. Recently I have worked as a toddler and preschool teacher at a Canadian daycare company. I enjoy creating strong relationships with children while helping to strengthen and facilitate their relationships with their parents and family. I have experience developing lesson plans that uphold Pennsylvania's learning standards for childhood education, and finding ways to engage children in memorable ways that facilitate cognitive development! I can't wait to meet your child, and I hope to make a difference in your lives!
Hello! I’m Mia I am a Business Management student at Point Park University. I currently work with two family’s on a weekly basis but have career for many children over the years. I can care for all ages and any animals. I have my own car and my CPR certification. Growing up I would volunteer at a summer camp working with children 1st-5th grade. I’ve babysit/nannied since I was 13 years old and now I am 20! While i’m with your children I can help with homework, prep food, clean up, and do any activities they wish to do. I’ve worked with all animals and can feed, give medications, walk, or play all day! I have 2 cats and a dog myself.
Hi everyone! My name is Hanna, I’m 18, and I’m new to the area. My fiancé travels for work, so my schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m hoping to connect with a family who needs a babysitter on an as-needed basis while I’m in town. I’ve worked with kids since I was younger, and I spent over 3 years at Idlewild & SoakZone in Ligonier, PA as Daniel Tiger characters and more — most of the time out of costume, helping children and families have the best experience possible. I truly love working with kids and creating a fun, safe, and welcoming environment. We’re also working on settling in and moving into a home here in the next few months, so any opportunities are truly appreciated. I’d love to help out however I can! 😊
Hi there, my name is Andrew! I am a 3rd year nursing student at the University of Pittsburgh who hopes to work as a neonatal or pediatric nurse. My expertise is particularly focused towards caring for newborns and infants. Children bring so much joy into our lives and safety is my upmost priority. I have 2 years of previous work experience as a babysitter as well as 1 year of inpatient hospital experience in the postpartum unit and newborn nursery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. I am comfortable with nightshift work, twins, and medically complex infants/kids. As part of my nursing education I am trained in adult and senior care as well. As a requirement for my work I have been cleared by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for work with children. The Pennsylvania State Police have attested that I do not have a criminal record. I am certified by the American Heart Association for infant, child, and adult CPR and other life support & first aid techniques. I would be happy to provide these documents upon request. In my free time I enjoy knitting, watching TV with my cat, drawing, and reading. I am very crafty, so if your kid(s) love art or science, we will likely get along great! I have always been drawn to cats and dogs, but am willing to branch out and meet other animals! I grew up with dogs, had a 10 gallon fish tank, and now have a cat named Buttermilk! On Mondays and Wednesdays between 11:30am and 4:30pm I am a teaching assistant and researcher at Pitt and will not be available those hours. I offer sliding scale rates for low income or single parent households. I understand how difficult it can be to find a caretaker who fits your needs and who you trust with your family, so I am available for zoom or in person interview. It is my goal to match with a family who are looking for a reliable babysitter for their kids long term! I appreciate your consideration and hope to be in contact with you soon!
“We love Andrew! He is wonderful with our wild 3.5 yo girl. Always on time communicative and amazing at joining her in her world. Highly rec ”
