Ray $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ray and I have over a decade of childcare and tutoring experience, ranging from infants all the way up to high school. I studied inclusive education and fine arts at Houghton College in western New York. Though my childcare experience started at a young age babysitting, I have worked in professional settings as a nanny and teacher for kids of all ages. Most recently I was a preschool teacher for three years. I am currently working part time as a server on the weekends, but would love to get the chance to work with kids again! I have worked as a nanny and tutor for years, assisting with homework of all subjects. I also have experience with household errands such as cleaning, shopping, and laundry. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and have lived with cats and/or dogs my whole life.

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.”
