Meet Hope

• Comfortable with pets

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 Read more 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!

Trust & safety
