Find nannies in Norwood, PA

Hi! My name is Amaya and I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's in Social Work and Policy Studies. I have a deep passion for child safety and welfare, and creating safe, nurturing environments where kids can truly thrive. My childcare experience spans several years, from helping care for children in my neighborhood growing up with my mother, to working at the YMCA with toddlers, to working at a daycare with children as young as 8 months through kindergarten age. I understand child development deeply, not just from hands-on experience but from my academic training in social work. I am warm, creative, and imaginative. I believe in getting kids engaged in play, art, and hands-on activities rather than screens. I bring energy and intentionality to every interaction. I respond quickly and communicate clearly with parents such as updates, photos, and check-ins are always part of my care. Beyond childcare, I am a previous cat owner and have pet sat dogs for friends, so I am comfortable with animals. I am also open to light household tasks as needed. I am reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with. I work well independently and show up prepared and on time.

I am a dedicated child development and behavioral health professional with nearly 15 years of experience working with children and 7 years of specialized experience supporting children with special needs. My educational background includes an Associate Degree in Psychology and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, providing me with a strong foundation in child development, behavior, learning, and mental health. In addition, I hold a certification in Behavioral Health, which has enhanced my ability to implement effective behavioral interventions and support strategies. Throughout my career, I have worked in early childhood education, behavioral health, and specialized support settings, helping children develop social, emotional, behavioral, and academic skills. I am passionate about creating positive, supportive, and inclusive environments where children can thrive and reach their full potential. My experience has allowed me to build strong relationships with children, families, and professionals while advocating for individualized care and meaningful developmental progress for every child I serve.

I’m from West Philadelphia (born and raised) and I went to Penn for my Bachelors, so I know this area like the back of my hand! I’ve been babysitting school-age kids since I was a teenager, and I am adept at bedtime stories, outdoor play, tutoring, and cooking. For longer-term gigs, I like to encourage kids to try new things and build age-appropriate skills (with parents’ permission of course). I studied physics in college and in the fall, I will be going to Columbia to get my PhD in earth science, so if your kids need some tutoring or homework help in STEM, I’d be happy to provide it! Since I’m doing a gap year, my schedule is quite flexible, so please just let me know your needs!

Hello, I’m Rhys (they/them). I’m a nonbinary, neurodivergent, and artistic caregiver who brings patience, creativity, and grounded communication to every family. I spend a lot of time reading and in nature, and I love weaving those interests into activities that nurture curiosity, confidence, and emotional growth. I have CPR certification and full clearances for working in educational settings, and I will be a Certified Peer Specialist in the new year, which deepens my skills in emotional support, active listening, and community-centered care. My childcare experience includes supporting kids ages 2–10 in home, tutoring, and camp environments. I’m Wilson Fundations trained for reading instruction and enjoy helping children build literacy skills at their own pace. My background in art—including college coursework—enhances the creative activities I offer: arts and crafts, sensory projects, LEGO building, nature-based learning, and baking. I also teach emotional regulation, mindfulness, beginner swimming, and hands-on skills that help children feel capable and grounded. I’m reliable, communicative, and mindful, and I value inclusive care rooted in respect and understanding. I’m comfortable with meal prep, cooking, baking, and general household support, and I’m open to long-term nannying and house manager roles. As a pet sitter, I provide overnight care, routine walks, leash training, pets with attachment anxiety and medication management. I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and rabbits, and enjoy supporting training routines that help pets feel safe and confident. I am also available for non-medical senior care. Through caring for my grandmother long-term, I developed deep patience, empathy, and a strong sense of companionship and consistency. My goal is always to create a safe, welcoming, inclusive environment where children, pets, and seniors feel respected, understood, and cared for. I bring creativity, calm, and earth-conscious values to every home I support.

I am a dependable, compassionate, kind and patient caregiver with several years of experience providing care to children, seniors, and families. I genuinely enjoy helping others and believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I am attentive, organized, and reliable, and I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, homework assistance, and creative learning. I also understand the importance of maintaining routines, preparing simple meals, and keeping a clean and organized home.
