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.

I lived in Florida from 2015-2020 I am originally from PA and we returned back here in 2020; I graduated with three degrees all in a science related field back in 2015. I started babysitting mostly my sister starting when I was about twelve and she was five. Once I started college I worked in a childcare center for about a year, I worked with children aged 6 months to 12 years of age. I love working with children because they are always on the go and exploring the world around them, it is a joy watching them learn and grow. Once my husband and I moved to Florida I started to nanny for a family of 5 they had twin girls age 2 and a son age 8, whom I still babysit for on occasion, especially when they go out of town. Since I have been in Florida I have babysat for multiple families on multiple occasions. The number of children I have watched at any given time ranges from 1-4 with ages between 2-13 as well as several with autism and/or ADHD. I have adapted to each situation and the same few families request my help on a regular basis. Each and every child needs attention, patience, and kindness. I do arts and crafts and read with the children as well as play with them whether that be, outdoors, video games, Legos, or board games. I do have previous first aid and CPR experience as well as a clean driving record and background check.

Hello! Im Brittani, im 27 and I live in Lansford Pennsylvania. I have a 1 year old daughter and she is the light of my life. Full disclosure, my daughter will be coming with me wherever I go. She is very sweet and loves other children. Ive been working with kids since a very young age. I would babysit the younger kids in my neighborhood, and when I got older I knew I wanted to do something with children. So I worked at a daycare for a couple years. But while working there, I figured out I liked the one on one time with kids. After that, I nannied for about a year for a family and I absolutely loved it! I recently became available again, through no fault of my own, the family was going through tough times. But I'm so excited to work with the next family and meet your children!!!

Hi! My name is Kait, and I'm a highly experienced, college educated caregiver who has a passion for working with and forming relationships with children. I have worked with all aged children, from infants, to toddlers, to pre k and to students in elementary school, and I couldn't imagine spending my life doing anything else. I have my degree in sociology with a minor in social work and a certificate in crisis intervention. I've spent time volunteering with various childcare programs at my local church, have babysat for individual families, have worked at a local daycare as their assistant toddler 1 teacher/floater, as well as an after school kindergarten and school age childcare professional. All of this experience has allowed for me to grow and improve as a childcare provider. I value most respect for the child and their family, compassion, and fostering creativity and curiosity, as well as providing for the mental, emotional, and physical needs for the kids that are in my care! I have my own car and am CPR and first aid trained!! I also have plenty of references if desired. Rest easy knowing your children are safe in my care!
