Jan helped us with our 4 yo daughter and was great with her! She made her feel comfortable right away and kept her busy with on going activities and play ideas! Jan helped enforce the concepts she was learning in school and taught her great gross and fine motor skills and gave us detailed feedback from each day. I highly recommend Jan, she is trustworthy and exceptional.

Raquel is such an amazing babysitter/nanny. She is able to keep my 2 year old engaged the entire day. My daughter will literally tell me to leave so she can play with Raquel. Raquel has improved my daughter's vocabulary significantly. She teachers her words, sounds, shapes, letters, animals, the weather and so much more. My dajghters imagination has also increased greatly by all the pretend play Raquel does with her. Raquel is just so amazing with my daughter and I'm so glad we found her. She is never on her phone during the day and even during my daughter's nap, she continues to check on her to make sure she is ok. I highly recommend Raquel!

Ashley watched my twins while I was away for three weeks at school in Norfolk and she did an amazing job! It's not easy being the mama of twins but Ashley stepped up and took it on and was my savior! She is amazing! If your looking for someone to take great care of your little one and someone that you can trust Ashley is the lady for the job!

Updated Sept 2021 No Availability. I have lots of energy and I blow parents away with my ability to keep up with kids. I already have been cleared with a background check. This also includes finger printed. I have many references Hello Moms and Dads, Mary poppins isn't available, but I am the next best thing. I work well with kids of all ages.I enjoy doing many activities with children and I have a lot of patience, and yes I have been tested before. I do not scream at children. I believe you have to get down to their level so they really can understand what you are saying. I am a big animal lover. Very warm hearted and affectionate. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own and enjoy them very much. I have over 10 references if needed for childcare. I enjoy working with families instead of a daycare. I like to think of myself as mother's helper. Mom's should always come first in a child's eyes. I am just an extra set of hands when needed. I enjoy reading, getting messy with art's and crafts, taking trips to the library, going to the park, playing catch, baseball, playing dress up and with children. I do really everything. I have made washing a car into somthing fun in the summer time. I enjoy making kids laugh and have a good time. I can also be stern when needed, in the case of discipline I use the time out system. I am a hugh supernanny fan and i never miss a show. I have many references and I will show you that I am not just a great nanny but a great person as well. When it's time for me to go, I will always double check if there is something else you need help with and be more then happy to stay and finsih it for you. I am available ( I dress appropriatly and in the summer i always bring an extra set of clothes, because I don't mind getting dirty or going through a sprinkler with the kids)

Joanne is a new babysitter for my 9 month old twins. She is absolutely amazing with them! She can somehow get them calm even during moments of teething pains. Joanne has a great can do, relaxed, happy demeanor and has been an absolute joy having around. She is a terrific singer :) and has quite a repertoire of children's songs. She has a childhood education and care background and experience which I find reassuring. During nap time, she has happily helped us with projects around our house - e.g., folding laundry and lining shelves.

Hi, I’m Sofia, a nursing student with dreams of becoming a midwife (Currently attend Virginia Wesleyan University). I adore kids and have plenty of experience caring for toddlers, thanks to my own sibling and numerous family members. From running around outside to getting creative with painting and drawing, I love finding fun activities to share with children. My adaptable nature helps me connect with kids of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, empathetic, and always ready to spark joy and foster growth. Creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive is my priority.

I am 27 years young, I live in Easton Pa. I have loved taking care of children ever since I was young. In my family (extended) it pretty much went that if you could sit in a chair you could hold the baby and there were lots of babies. I was always one to look after my cousins more so then others.I love to travel whether it's somewhere I've been or a totally new place. I love learning new things and teaching what I know to anyone willing to learn. I have been to many places in my life thanks to my family's love of traveling. I have many life stories to share and many more to come. I took some child care classes in high school and loved them. I wasn't the most academic student but I have a whole lot of heart. I didn't continue on to college but instead went right into the work force. I worked in daycare for three and a half years. I also nannied for a family over the summer of 2009 and was shared by another two families from 0ctober 2009 to April 2010. I am creative and always looking for the next thing to do. I have First Aid and CPR training. I swim very well, I have been swimming since I was 3. Even helped some of my younger cousins learn how to swim. Every child that has been put in my care is loved and treated as if they were my own. My schedule is fairly flexible, what I have marked is just my preference. Can't wait to hear from you!

I bring multiple decades of childcare experience from Babysitting & being a Nanny for a number of families. My experience also includes coaching Gymnastics, Yoga and Fitness classes. At my last position, I was a Preschool Gymnastics Director, which I absolutely LOVED! Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, my position was eliminated in 2025. I loved that job so much because I was able to develop such close relationships not just with the kids, but with the extended families of parents and grandparents in a fun, active & safe environment! I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, but I definitely have a specialty and a sweet spot for babies, toddlers and preschoolers! I am a Mom (which I love more than anything) of 2 boys that are 20 & 13 & have a 5yo niece that I spend a lot of time with too!! I am very energetic, patient, friendly and approachable and always keep communication open with parents as well as adhering to your household rules. Active outdoor play is my favorite!! I love going to parks, playing games and swimming. I also have a variety of active movement songs for all ages with props such as parachute & tumbling mats. I own a 2024 Nissan Murano & have a clean driving record with lots of safety features if any driving would be required. I am comfortable with meal preps, nap and/or bedtime stories, baths, etc. I have a college degree in Communications and am First Aid, CPR & Safe Sport certified. I also have all of my background clearances as well as several references. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to me!!
