Stephanie was a babysitter for our toddler for a couple evenings. She was friendly, asked good questions to get to know our daughter, her routines, and our home. She was good with our dog, too. Would definitely recommend!

Dora is by far the best companion that I have found for my mother who suffers from dimentia. Dora is always prompt, intelligent, dependable, and trustworthy. She is constantly doing more than I ask. I would highly recommend Dora as a caregiver/companion for your loved one. I consider her my friend now and appreciate the peace of mind I have when I need a break from my mother.

Susan L., Babysitter in Elkins Park, PA 19027 with 10 years of paid experience

Hey everyone. I have a ton of experience love animals and children of all ages I do prefer to begin with younger children(infants, preschoolers and s hool aged children) it's fun however, with my patience, humor and common sense I can handle anything. So ready to take care of your children I took some time off due to a position ending and now I want to return. I miss my daily routine, reading, being outdoors, learning activities, going for walks, tummy time (if infant), games, puzzles and interactive play. I love to laugh have fun and mix it up with learning activities. I am reliable, have a clean background on file and cpr first aid certified, tdap, flu and I'm vacinated for covid. Please reach out if this interests you. Thanks for reading! Also, I have a reliable car..

Dominique B., Babysitter in Elkins Park, PA 19027 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Dominique. I am a graduate of Penn's Graduate School of Education, with a Master's degree in Early Elementary Education. I currently am I teacher in the Philadelphia area so my availability is limited. Please reference my calendar. I have all my clearances. I have been CPR trained. I worked in my mother's daycare for five years. I have worked as an instructor at a summer program and have lots of teaching, so I am comfortable with larger groups of children and I am able to connect with each individual child. I am comfortable and experienced working with children of all ages but my preference is to work with children 13 and under.

Dominique was on time, reliable, and did an excellent job watching our two kids (including our very emotional 4-year-old) while we were at a nearby wedding. We would definitely work with her again if ever back in the area!

Amirah was awesome! She was able to step in for us last minute when we needed a sitter in a bind, and we could not be happier with her services. Amirah is very professional, and our kids loved her. We can’t wait to have her babysit again for us.

Lauren R., Babysitter in Elkins Park, PA 19027 with 8 years of paid experience

*SEEKING SUMMER POSITION* 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!

Jennifer E., Babysitter in Elkins Park, PA 19027 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Jenn and I'm a 52 year old mom with lots of childcare experience. I'm fun, caring, compassionate, easy going, responsible, and reliable. I absolutely adore children of all ages and have cared for newborns to school age children. I like to teach through playing and help kids reach their age appropriate milestones. I've worked with special needs in the past. And I've helped with speech delays. I know baby, children, and adult CPR although last certified in 2020. I'm extremely clean and always tidying up. I cook very well also! I'd prefer hours around 8am-4pm but I'm absolutely flexible. I'm with a wonderful family I've been with for a little over 2 years. I've been blessed with loving and caring for a 2.5 yr old and 10 month old, but mom has been blessed and leaving work to stay home with kiddos. So with a broken heart I'm available mid March.

Lauren is great to work with. She is sincere, communicative, trust worthy, and does the job with her whole heart. She took care my three months old for several months last year and is still actively caring for our now toddler. I greatly appreciate her and highly recommend her.

Jashira L., Babysitter in Elkins Park, PA 19027 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Jashira, I’m 24 years old, and a recent college graduate. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. Growing up with lots of younger cousins meant I was always the one playing with them, helping with daily routines, and caring for them—sometimes for short periods and sometimes for full days. Over the years, babysitting became second nature to me. I truly love working with children of all ages. Babies and kids are so full of personality, curiosity, and joy, and it’s an honor to be part of their growth—teaching them new things, supporting their routines, and watching them reach new milestones. I provide care for infants, toddlers, children, and preteens, including last-minute or same-day care when needed. I accept jobs in New York and Philadelphia. Because these areas require tolls, have longer commutes, and may require paid parking, I kindly ask that travel and parking expenses be reimbursed when necessary. Wishing great health and blessings to all of you. I look forward to meeting your family and providing the highest level of care for your little ones.
