Alexis C., Babysitter in Philadelphia, PA 19147 with 14 years of paid experience

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

Dominique B., Babysitter in Philadelphia, PA 19147 with 15 years of paid experience

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.

Very competent, reliable, friendly. Nya promptly helped me address my urgent childcare need, really saving my day. She clearly is an expert and knows what matters to parents when trusting their kids with a new sitter. Perfect experience from beginning to end. She even took the time post-care to share some very useful activity tips for me and my toddler.

Dora is by far the best companion that I have found for my mother who suffers from dimentia. Dora is always prompt, intelligent, dependable, and trustworthy. She is constantly doing more than I ask. I would highly recommend Dora as a caregiver/companion for your loved one. I consider her my friend now and appreciate the peace of mind I have when I need a break from my mother.

Judit M., Babysitter in Philadelphia, PA 19147 with 3 years of paid experience

Hey there! My name is Judit, and I’m an experienced babysitter with a strong background in caring for children of all ages, especially infants, toddlers, and families with multiple kids (I am one of the oldest of a large family myself!). I’m passionate about creating a safe and fun environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident. I’ve spent several years working with families in a variety of settings, from casual date nights to regular weekly care, and I’m always happy to help with routines, playtime, meals, and bedtime. I’m also fluent in Spanish, and I love incorporating language into playtime if that’s something your family is interested in! Reliability, patience, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and see how I can help! Looking for families located in Philadelphia. Thank you!

Jashira L., Babysitter in Philadelphia, PA 19147 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Jashira, I’m 24 years old, and a recent college graduate. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. Growing up with lots of younger cousins meant I was always the one playing with them, helping with daily routines, and caring for them—sometimes for short periods and sometimes for full days. Over the years, babysitting became second nature to me. I truly love working with children of all ages. Babies and kids are so full of personality, curiosity, and joy, and it’s an honor to be part of their growth—teaching them new things, supporting their routines, and watching them reach new milestones. I provide care for infants, toddlers, children, and preteens, including last-minute or same-day care when needed. I accept jobs in New York and Philadelphia. Because these areas require tolls, have longer commutes, and may require paid parking, I kindly ask that travel and parking expenses be reimbursed when necessary. Wishing great health and blessings to all of you. I look forward to meeting your family and providing the highest level of care for your little ones.

Samantha H., Babysitter in Philadelphia, PA 19147 with 25 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm a licensed attorney who is 37 years old, I grew up as a pool/beach lifeguard and am currently certified in first aid and CPR. I came from an Irish Catholic family in the DC area and moved to Philly recently. I am trying to find a position as I look for local jobs in my field (but would of course give 2 weeks - 1 month notice). I have passed a public clearance while working for the DOJ but it has since expired; I am open to paying for the extensive background checks but would prefer to have a lead before making those purchases. Thanks! Sam
