My name is Alva and have recent child abuse, criminal history, and FBI clearances, as well as First Aid, CPR and AED certifications. Formerly worked in the field of education as a childcare owner/director, teacher (early childhood, elementary and high school), consultant, and curriculum specialist. but have recently returned to school to pursue a Ph.D. in epidemiology. I have a binder of parent references and pictures of acitivites implemented with children. Please reach out should you require my services.
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.
Hi there! My name is Michelle. I'm originally from the Chicagoland area, but am so happy to now call Philadelphia home. With over 15 years of babysitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children of all ages, backgrounds, and personalities. From 3-month-old infants to pre-teens and beyond, I adapt to each child’s unique needs, whether that means preparing meals, organizing activities, or providing safe transportation. My goal is always to prioritize the well-being of the family while fostering a fun, nurturing environment where kids can learn and play. Some of my favorite activities include pretend play, games, puzzles, reading, arts and crafts, sports, and outdoor adventures. I also have experience caring for children with specific needs, including hearing impairments, severe allergies, and asthma. I’m confident in following detailed instructions for medications, dietary restrictions, or special routines, ensuring your child’s safety and comfort at all times. Beyond childcare, I enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals for the kids. I’m quick to pick up on nap and bedtime routines, and I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bathtime, homework help, pet care, and assisting with household chores. You can trust that I’ll care for your child as if they were my own, giving you the peace of mind every parent deserves. And if you have pets, that’s an added bonus—I love animals! In my free time, I enjoy exploring Philly's vibrant food scene with my fiancé, traveling, reading, and spending time outdoors. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring, and enthusiastic babysitter, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love the opportunity to connect and discuss how I can support your family. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!
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)
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+”

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
