*CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR DATE NIGHTS/WEEKENDS* Hi! I have a lot of experience working with children of all ages, both typical and special needs. I graduated from West Chester University with a Bachelor degree in music and minor in psychology and have completed some graduate coursework in social work. I have primarily worked with the elderly professionally, but have been babysitting for many years part time. I am not the "sit and watch television" kind of babysitter and I believe it is very important (especially for young children) to interact, learn, play games, and have fun while maintaining a safe environment. I'm an animal lover so pets are fine. I'm also able to assist with light housekeeping, meal prep, and driving if needed. References available on request! Thank you!

Please note: at this time I am only able to commit to short-term or spot sitting jobs, mostly on weekends and in the evenings. I am unavailable for long-term or regularly scheduled sitting. I moved to Philadelphia from NYC in 2021 and never looked back. I live in Point Breeze. I enjoy using the bike share and public transportation to get around. I also do a lot of walking! My background is in musical theatre. Today, I work remotely in accessibility services for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. While in college, I worked at a daycare center. I also spent six months as an au pair in Dublin, Ireland. Since moving to NYC in 2010 I have been babysitting steadily for children from 6 months old to 11 years old. I love playing with kids, reading them stories, singing songs, doing arts and crafts, and helping them learn. They never cease to amaze me. Having fun is important, but I am also a firm believer in safety and cleanliness. Communication and flexibility are imperative when taking care of children. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and running. To date, I have run five full marathons, including being part of the American Cancer Society's team for the NYC Marathon. Past shows I was in include Freckleface Strawberry as the Ballet Girl and a national tour of Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse; both are children's shows based on books. You may also have seen me as Zuzu the Elf at Macy's Santaland or in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as a Despicable Me minion. I am a huge fan of both Frozen films and can sing almost any Disney song upon request. Happy to provide references. Looking forward to meeting you!

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.
