Find experienced babysitters in Philadelphia, PA

Hi! My name is Amirah, and I am a first-year law student. I love to watch sports, read, and spend time outdoors. I have years of experience babysitting children in my family and have been trusted to care for the children of friends, employers, and professors. I would consider myself energetic and prioritize a hands-on and interactive approach to caring for children. I am up to date on all vaccines and can provide a vehicle to assist in servicing your family. I have flexible availability during the week and open availability on weekends and holidays. I hope I can help create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for your children.

Hello! My name is Samantha (or Sam for short). I am a 24 year old Temple University grad looking to help out families who are in search of an energetic, outgoing, loving, and patient babysitter for their children! My first job was at 15 years old as an assistant counselor at a summer camp. I fell in love with the position, moving up the latter and ending up as the head counselor of my program. I went on to work for the camp until I departed for college in 2019. I am an extremely active person who grew up spending most of their time outdoors or participating in sports, so a lot of my experience with children involves coaching. I was a cheerleading/dance/gymnastics coach and spent my senior year of highschool working at The Little Gym as a developmental gymnastics instructor and birthday party host. I have always found an immense amount of joy working with children and hope to bring your family joy and a sense of security that your children will be well taken care of as your potential sitter! I live in south Philly but do have my own vehicle to commute to wherever your family is based! Disclaimer: My main job position is a production assistant/runner for the live music industry! My schedule is never certain and I stay on my toes often until a show gets booked. I currently have a lot of down time since it is “off season” and would love to provide care for your family during this time ☺️!

Hello, my name is I’lea, but my families and students call me Lee or Ms. Lee. I am 27 years old. I have been working with kids for about 10 years and I absolutely love it. I have experience with kids ranging from 4 weeks old to 13 years old. I have a passion for learning and teaching. I am pursuing a bachelors degree in developmental psychology. I use psychology to teach students how to read and write. My favorite age group to work with is toddler age, but Ms. Lee loves all the kids.

*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!

Hi my name is Vuyo and I am currently working part-time ( Mon,Tues, & Thurs) taking care of a now 8 month old. I have almost three years of Childcare experience with a focus on infants - toddlers. I have experience assisting with sleep and potty training and would love to share more should we connect!

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.

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!
