Please note: at this time I am only able to commit to short-term or spot sitting jobs, mostly on weekends and in the evenings. I am unavailable for long-term or regularly scheduled sitting. I moved to Philadelphia from NYC in 2021 and never looked back. I live in Point Breeze. I enjoy using the bike share and public transportation to get around. I also do a lot of walking! My background is in musical theatre. Today, I work remotely in accessibility services for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. While in college, I worked at a daycare center. I also spent six months as an au pair in Dublin, Ireland. Since moving to NYC in 2010 I have been babysitting steadily for children from 6 months old to 11 years old. I love playing with kids, reading them stories, singing songs, doing arts and crafts, and helping them learn. They never cease to amaze me. Having fun is important, but I am also a firm believer in safety and cleanliness. Communication and flexibility are imperative when taking care of children. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and running. To date, I have run five full marathons, including being part of the American Cancer Society's team for the NYC Marathon. Past shows I was in include Freckleface Strawberry as the Ballet Girl and a national tour of Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse; both are children's shows based on books. You may also have seen me as Zuzu the Elf at Macy's Santaland or in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as a Despicable Me minion. I am a huge fan of both Frozen films and can sing almost any Disney song upon request. Happy to provide references. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi! My Name is Marie. I have over twenty years childcare experience, and am thirty nine years old. I love taking care of children of all ages and interacting with them, assisting them with using manners, and also love helping school-age children with homework. In addition I truly love caring for infants, as it is amazing to watch how their personalities expand on a daily basis! I have extensive training in the recognition, as well as treatment of life threatening injuries and illnesses in infants, children, and adults. I have wonderful references to give during an interview. I do not post my references on the internet because I would prefer to not have them receiving many phone calls before I even meet a family as a courtesy to them as it became problematic before. I am able to bring all certifications with me during an interview, and will also provide my references' contact information. I also have current clear background checks from the FBI (with fingerprints) and the state of Pennsylvania, and have passed the requirements of Pennsylvania to obtain a child abuse history clearance in order to be approved to work around children in a school setting. As far as discipline in a caregiver capacity goes I believe in time-outs, or time-outs for toys. I also strongly believe in positive reinforcement (sticker chart with prize at end of week, pick of dinner or activity etc) I like to try and mimic the parents' way of doing things as best as possible to keep structure in childrens lives, and also try and cater to the activities the specific child likes most (after any room-cleaning/homework if any they’re required to do is done). I am a former critical care medic so have extensive CPR and first aide training and experience. I have a 13 year old son in 8th grade, a 7 year old daughter in second grade and am a stay at home mom. I am highly involved in my kids schools as a teacher aide as needed. I am currently looking for occasional daytime or date night positions **ineligibility for SC enhanced background badge was due to a non-moving traffic citation. I have all other clear federal and state background checks I can provide**

Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’m 26 years old. I’ve grown up around childcare my whole life, so it's fitting that it is becoming my career. I have my own vehicle, I can cook and bake pretty well, and arts and crafts is a happy hobby of mine. I’m an athlete, so I love going out and playing. Babysitting is awesome, and I want to leave every kid with a good moment, time, or even memory. Currently I have about four part time families I am working with, and I am looking to fill in the gaps. I can be here for a longer commitment, or a one day event. Either way, I would love to hear from you! Please reach out to connect!

*CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR DATE NIGHTS/WEEKENDS* Hi! I have a lot of experience working with children of all ages, both typical and special needs. I graduated from West Chester University with a Bachelor degree in music and minor in psychology and have completed some graduate coursework in social work. I have primarily worked with the elderly professionally, but have been babysitting for many years part time. I am not the "sit and watch television" kind of babysitter and I believe it is very important (especially for young children) to interact, learn, play games, and have fun while maintaining a safe environment. I'm an animal lover so pets are fine. I'm also able to assist with light housekeeping, meal prep, and driving if needed. References available on request! Thank you!

Hi, my name is Amber Fuller. I just recently finished my bachelors this spring and obtained a degree in Criminal Justice and I also finished my paralegal certificate in 2022. I became a babysitter because I realized how much I love children! I was ten years old when I obtained my first big girl job which was a mother’s helper! I learned how to take care of little children and that is where I learned how to change a diaper! My second and third job was being a camp counselor and a referee! My next job was working at an amusement park called Sesame Place where I was a ride hostess! I learned how to control the rides and had to take children's height measurement! My recent job was Denny’s. I was a hostess and a server! I have my First Aid and CPR certificate! Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have! Thank you! My phone number is (215) 630-1229.
