Hi! My name is Alexis, a mother of two with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have experience in daycare settings as well as nannying one on one and babysitting for several families. In addition to my experience, I have clean background clearances and certificates in various aspects such as CPR, fire safety, and first aid. In regards to my availability, I am available on weekdays from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm, ocassional weeknights starting at 5 pm (when Dad is home from work to be with our children) and occasional weekends day or evening. That is if you need me to come to you but if you wish to come to me then I am free more hours on weekdays in which we can discuss privately. I love children of all ages and love to interact with them by going to park on nice days, trips to library, color, crafts, music time and much more.. I look forward to hearing from you if you are interested to discuss my qualifications further! Best, Alexis

Kathleen C.

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.

Hi! My name is María and I’m the second oldest of 9 children so childcare is second nature to me. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have babysat kids as young as 3 months and as old as 14. My previous experience includes sitting at homes, overnight, and other determined locations. I love being with kids and I appreciate the opportunity to take part in sharing the joy and warmth children spread.

Maria was amazing! We interviewed her in April 2025, and both my husband and I were very impressed. We had her for a trial day, and our newborn (8 weeks!) loved her. She arrived on time and was incredibly polite and proactive. Maria jumped right in, and while our little one was napping, she helped with cleaning up bottles, washing baby clothes, etc. When baby woke up, Maria read her stories and played with her on the bouncer. We plan to have her spend time with our little one again soon.

Hello! My name is Annie and I’m 21 years old. I currently live in Swarthmore, PA, but I’m originally from Massachusetts. Working with kids has always been a passion for me, I grew up around a lot of little cousins and I always enjoyed taking care of them so now I’ve found myself making a career out of it! I have 8+ years of experience working with kids, 4 years of professional childcare. I was a full time nanny for 2 years, for three children aged 1, 4, and 6 years old. I also was a registered behavior technician at Action Behavior Centers giving ABA therapy to children with autism. Most recently, I was a nanny for a 4 month old baby girl for a year and a half, so I have infant experience as well! I primarily have the most experience with children aged 1-6 years old. I have my own vehicle and I am CPR certified as well. I can help with transportation, special needs care, potty routines, meals, activities, outdoor play, educational play, light housekeeping, travel, etc.! I’m looking for a babysitting job so I’d love to chat!

Leah babysat my kids, aged 12 and 7, for two weeks over the summer. She was with them every weekday for between 4 and 8 hours, and managed to keep them entertained and off their computer screens -- which is something of a miracle! She was very good at playing board games, drawing with them and taking them on short outings. Despite the fact that my 12-year-old son and my 7-year-old daughter have very different personalities, she managed to keep them both happy. She is a compassionate person who understands kids, and she is organized and competent.

Hi I'm Scout! I recently graduated from California Lutheran University where I majored in psychology, with a plan to pursue a career centered around kids in the field of psychology. I previously worked with a couple of families consistently for the past four years, and developed close relationships with them! I would be happy to pass over their information for a reference. I am now moving to Pennsylvania for school, where I am attending Bryn Mawr’s Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research in the fall. Some things about me are that I'm close with my family and my extended family, I have two younger siblings and a lot of little cousins who I love spending time with! In my free time I also love reading, and spending time with my friends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and doing activities like little crafts or playing games, and just making things fun! I have experience babysitting kids of all ages, as well as experience in school settings and summer camps! I'm always very kind, caring, rational, attentive, and patient. I would ensure the safety of your kids while also making sure they're having fun! I do have a car, and am an experienced driver, so I would be happy to pick kids up from school or take them to activities. I would love to get to know you and your kids and your family! I am going to be in the Bryn Mawr area beginning this September and I would love to talk to anyone looking help in that area!
