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 have been babysitting and caring for children for as long as I can remember. This is actually how I got started working with and caring for children. Ever since I was young, I've been watching and caring for children. I have been responsbile for watching my brothers, cousins, and friend's children. I love children. I always have. I love interacting with them, teaching them things, and watching them learn.

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.

Hi, I’m Mia and I’m an occupational therapy major with a focus in pediatrics. I’m currently looking for part time work. I have an interest in childhood development and enjoy creating fun activities for children based on their age. I enjoy art and baking, but spending time outside is my favorite pastime. I worked with a child with level 1 autism for several years, and have worked with children with anxiety. I have experience watching elementary aged twins. I have tutored children from 5 to 11 years old and am happy to help with homework as well as summer work and reading. I can speak basic Spanish and know basic sign language. I also have experience dog sitting and am comfortable with any size of dog in the home. I have a clean drivers license and a reliable vehicle. I consider patience and creativity to be my greatest strengths when working with children.

Hi! I’m a warm, attentive, and dependable nanny with extensive experience caring for children from birth to age 8. I bring a calm, nurturing approach shaped by 16 years as a teacher and 7 years as a mom and foster parent, along with hands-on experience supporting infants and toddlers through their early developmental stages. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I believe childhood should be filled with curiosity, creativity, and joy, balanced with structure, consistency, and gentle guidance. I enjoy creating engaging, age-appropriate activities, supporting daily routines, and helping little ones navigate big feelings in a safe and loving environment. I value open communication with families and take pride in being reliable, patient, and someone parents can truly trust.

I genuinely enjoy being part of children’s growth and daily routines. Since I was 14 years old, I have been involved with children through my church, helping in kids’ classes and activities, and over the years I realized how much I enjoy creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. I like building connections with children, supporting their development, and giving parents peace of mind knowing their kids are well cared for. I also have 2 years of experience as an au pair in the U.S., where I provided daily childcare, helped with routines, meals, transportation, activities, and supported children’s emotional and developmental needs. These experiences taught me responsibility, patience, flexibility, and how to manage different situations with children. Through my experience as an au pair and working with children at church, I developed strong communication skills, patience, organization, multitasking, and problem-solving abilities. I am also comfortable adapting to different family routines and supporting children with kindness, structure, and consistency.
