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

Hope W., Babysitter in Philadelphia, PA 19147 with 10 years of paid experience

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!

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.

Mia W., Babysitter in Philadelphia, PA 19147 with 1 year of paid experience

I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating a calm, safe, and fun environment for them. I like being someone parents can trust and someone kids feel comfortable with. I’m patient, attentive, and I enjoy helping kids feel heard, supported, and cared for while their parents are away. I’ve cared for children in everyday settings, including watching younger kids, helping with meals, keeping them entertained, and making sure routines are followed. I currently work part-time in customer service, which has helped me develop strong responsibility, communication skills, and the ability to stay calm and dependable in busy or stressful situations.I’m reliable, patient, and good at following instructions. I’m comfortable helping with light housekeeping related to children, meal prep, bedtime routines, and keeping kids engaged with age-appropriate activities. I’m responsible, attentive to safety, and always focused on making sure children feel comfortable and cared for.
