Hey! I'm Brianna. I have a Bachelor's in Molecular Biology, and a Master's in Public Health. I've been babysitting throughout college, and I'm also the oldest of three. I have two siblings that are on the spectrum, one of which also has ODD; between this, and my experience in tutoring centers, I've had significant experience with children who have special needs. I spent my summers working as a camp counselor at Camp Pecometh, where I was responsible for 5-10 children at a time, ages 5-16. On the weekends, I volunteered at my church's nursery, taking care of newborns to 3-year olds. Fast forward to today, I've had multiple long-term nanny positions while finishing my degrees. My specialties are craft time, early Spanish education, and kid-friendly snack prep. I have background checks, clearances, and training certificates available, as well as additional references. I am fully vaccinated. Please note: I'm currently employed as a nanny in Pennsylvania, but am looking to relocate to New Jersey in the upcoming months.

Hi! My name is Kathleen and I am a kindergarten music teacher in the Norristown Area School District (as a PA certified teacher all clearances available upon request). I grew up in a large family of six kids and have always enjoyed working with children. During high school, I began camp counseling during the summers and professionally working with children. In college, I started babysitting for families with toddlers and elementary-aged children. When I graduated, I began teaching music, working with children grades 1-8. Now I currently work with kindergarten children aged 5-6. Outside of teaching music, I am a very active individual. I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, performing on voice and piano, exploring museums and new places, playing guitar, and sports. I recently received my black belt and have been training in martial arts for five years. I also enjoy playing volleyball and frisbee in recreational leagues with friends. As a sitter, I've always enjoyed providing the best experiences for families and their children. I am not the kind of sitter who is going to be content doing the bare minimum. I really genuinely love helping families and engaging and creating quality activities for children. Especially during the warmer months, I love taking children for time outside like walks to the park or playing soccer or tag in the yard. I've enjoyed building new lego creations, baking cookies, and drawing and painting. I also have no problem cleaning and doing house work, I actually enjoy it. However, I will always ask if it's okay though. I also have no problem making snacks and food for children. I've always treated each child and family as if they were my own and always make sure to deliver service with the utmost respect and care.

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..

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!

We can’t say enough good things about Jordan. We came into town for a wedding and we were nervous about how our 4 year old son would respond to a new sitter. Jordan FaceTimed with us beforehand so our son would feel more comfortable, and met up with us the day before with stickers she knew our son would love. The day of the wedding not only was she incredibly flexible but she also came a treasure trove of toys, art supplies and games. She helped us feel comfortable and made our son feel safe. At the end of the night she even picked all our stuff and brought it from the venue to our hotel without us asking. Above and beyond in every way. Can’t recommend her enough.

I love Jen. She watches my two boys for over a year and we fell in love with her. I am still so sad that she relocated. If we could’ve followed her we would’ve. She truly changed our lives. Jen is an amazing person and the absolute best babysitter.

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.

Hello! My name is Jashira, I’m 25 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.
