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.

Introducing In Karen's Kare: Since I started babysitting at thirteen years-old, I quickly realized the gift I have with caregiving. I have experience working with toddlers, school aged children, as well as, autistic children in my everyday work as a Behavioral Health Technician. Not only am I able to provide a warm and nurturing environment, I am able to do provide transportation, arts and crafts, tutoring/homework help, and household chores. Since I’m currently a full-time graduate student, I am looking for a flexible family that will need occasional help during the evenings and/or on the weekends. I look forward to chatting with you about your needs and wants in your ideal babysitter!

I’m Turquoise. For over 10 years I've cared for children from newborns to teenagers, with and without special needs. I assist children with reaching age appropriate developmental milestones. Skills are encouraged through creative learning activities and play. I also encourage growth and development through healthy eating and fun physical activities. Overall, I'm very patient, nurturing, kind, loving and enthusiastic. I enjoy being a nanny and I'd love to join your family’s journey. CPR/AED/First Aid Certified Children & Adults

I am an experienced, and passionate nanny with a flair for arts and crafts. I love facilitating a passion for the arts with children. As a nanny and babysitter I excel in the general care of the children by maintaining a safe and healthy environment. I strive to create a positive childcare environment by preparing arts and crafts activities, playing games, singing songs, avoiding conflict situations and nurturing self-esteem to help children discover what they are passionate about. I enjoy spending time outdoors and nurturing a compassion in children for nature and all living creatures. My last nanny position, which spanned 2 years, I provided exceptional care for two children beginning at the ages of 3 and 6. During my time with them I successfully scheduled and managed the children’s activities (including pick-ups and drop-offs to school, after-school activities, play-dates, etc.), prepared healthy meals and snacks, assisted in homework and encouraged learning and creativity outside of classroom through crafting, creating, music-making and playing games. I also worked as a camp counselor at a Philadelphia neighborhood Arts Enrichment Camp, where I developed art lessons and activities for groups of children ages 4-7. The single most important thing I learned during this summer was that while teaching art and fostering art appreciation was important to me, I realized that striving to build character, self-esteem and self-worth in the campers was even more important and gratifying. I just returned to Philadelphia from a 7-month trip exploring beautiful areas of the West coast and I feel endlessly inspired. I love adventure, new experiences and will creatively find the best way to introduce, support and guide your children to discover their own love of learning, exploring, creativity, imagination and life.
