Shea O., Babysitter in Effort, PA 18330 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello my name is Shea. I am currently working full time as an occupational therapist (7-3:30; M-F). I worked at a child care center called The Cuddle Zone Learning Center located in Allentown for a little over 4 years where I was an assistant teacher for the school age program for 2 years and lead teacher for the infant room for 2 years. In Pittsburgh, where I attended undergrad, I worked at another child care center called the Children's Center of Pittsburgh. At this center I worked with children aged from 3 months to 2 years. I also supervised children at a local church in Pittsburgh while their parents attended the service. I have my clearances, FBI fingerprints, CPR, first aid, and completed trainings in mandated reporting, supervision, etc.

Shea is wonderful to work with. Our kids (6, 3, and 1) light up when she walks through the door. She plays, cooks, and listens. I highly recommend her as a sitter.

Sophia was amazing with our son. She was extremely friendly and attentive. She often took him for walks around the neighborhood and did arts and crafts every day! Sophia was always on time and was very flexible if we needed her to stay later than usual. We would absolutely hire her again if needed in the future.

Jaelynn really has such skills in taking care of children. She has great intuition with infants-regularly changing them, feeding them, and providing attention to their needs. She is very patient with my little guy and she shows so much initiative. She does more than what I ask and her kindness just blows me away. I trust her with my little guy and know that he is in safe hands with her. If we could have 1,000 Jaelynn’s as babysitters, that would be a perfect world! Hiring Jaelynn is a non-negotiable for me! She is my go-to sitter always!

Kim  F., Babysitter in Effort, PA 18330 with 40 years of paid experience

Kim Marie Freeman Experienced Early Childhood Educator & Nurturing, Creative Nanny Home: (570) 981-6205 | Cell: (570) 234-9511 Hello! I am a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a lifelong passion for nurturing children and helping them learn, grow, and thrive. My experience caring for children began at a young age. As the eldest of four siblings, I helped care for my younger brothers and sisters and became a trusted neighborhood babysitter during my teenage years. I later raised three children of my own, born within six years, giving me firsthand experience managing the needs, routines, and personalities of multiple children at once. Professionally, I taught Pre-K and Kindergarten at two private Christian schools in New Jersey. I have also provided childcare for families both in their homes and in my own. In addition, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Pennsylvania, providing in-home care and support. I enjoy making each day engaging and meaningful through imaginative play, storytelling, arts and crafts, and age-appropriate learning activities. I am also a skilled housekeeper, an excellent cook and baker, and very fond of pets. I would be happy to bring these additional skills to a household where they are needed. I believe that patience, kindness, creativity, and consistency help children feel safe, valued, and confident. The experience I have gained as a mother, educator, and caregiver allows me to offer families a thoughtful balance of nurturing attention, practical support, and enriching activities. I would welcome the opportunity to learn about your family and discuss how I can help care for your children.

Patricia S., Babysitter in Effort, PA 18330 with 10 years of paid experience

With over 20 years of experience working with children, I began volunteering in my local church’s children’s ministry during my teenage years. This experience, which involved working with various age groups and leading summer activities, inspired me to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education at a community college. I have since worked as a preschool teacher, gaining hands-on experience in fostering early learning. I am fluent in Spanish and hold all current Pennsylvania clearances. In addition, I have served as a substitute teacher assistant in my local school district, further expanding my skills in supporting diverse student needs. As a parent of three children, I homeschooled two of them up to their 4th grade, which provided me with valuable insight into the educational process and individualized learning approaches. This experience has deepened my understanding of early childhood development and the importance of creating a nurturing learning environment. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and ensuring their success, both academically and socially. I am excited to bring my background, skills, and dedication to a role where I can continue to positively impact young learners.
