Hi! I am the oldest of a large family and have been babysitting for many years. I have experience babysitting children from newborns to teens. I am fluent in Spanish and am BLS (CPR and First Aid) certified. I love spending time with babies and toddlers, playing with them, and doing interactive activities! I have experience watching multiple children, twins, and providing sick care. I previously worked part-time at a Montessori school and as a nanny for many different families. I am currently a birth doula! I would prefer families located in Philly. Hope to hear from you soon, thank you!

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

My name is Daja. I have 8 years of experience as a child care worker as well as babysitting. I've work with children of disabilities, behavioral issues, and delayed learning! I have clearances such as first aid/CPR, fingerprint, fBI, child abuse etc. I'm also vaccinated with t dap, TB, covid and Flu! I have been going to school for early childhood education and hope to have a daycare of my own! I also have multiple certificates of child development. One of the ways I teach, is the Montessori way! It works best with all children of all ages, and they solve problems with ease. Outdoor activities is key when it come to the littles, whether it’s art projects, exploring the world, or even just taking a walk for fresh air. I also love going to little play groups or Libraries which I’m TOTALLY okay with walking too! I’m always prepared with activities and routine is a must! Let’s prepare your littles ones for next stage in life!

Stephanie was a babysitter for our toddler for a couple evenings. She was friendly, asked good questions to get to know our daughter, her routines, and our home. She was good with our dog, too. Would definitely recommend!

Kathleen C., Babysitter in Philadelphia, PA 19147 with 5 years of paid experience

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.
