Gale C., Babysitter in Pottstown, PA 19464 with 7 years of paid experience

I am seeking either full-time or part-time caregiving or babysitting jobs in the area. I am willing to babysit in the Exton, West Chester, Downingtown, Malvern and the Chester Springs area. My schedule is very flexible since all five of my children have moved out on their own. My background: I homeschooled my children to 8th grade (some other them but not all). I was a Sunday School teacher for many years to teenaged girls and elementary grade levels. I studied Special Education and Computer Science. Ended up programming computers for over 20 years. I always wanted to teach and be a caregiver even though Software Developing served my family well. I now am fulfilling my desires as a Substitute teacher of all ages and I am a part time care giver to a lady with Parkinson's Disease. I also babysit for many families and can provide a lot of references. Really enjoy taking care of people and giving them a good quality of life. I was a personal trainer and love helping others exercise as well. Since I am a Substitute Teacher all my security clearances and background checks are up to date. As a result of being in the corporate world I have an appreciation for working moms/dads that struggle with juggling work and family. I love helping others because I really remember how hard it was to be at work (especially in IT) and to take care of children. I am very athletic. I absolutely love biking, running, yoga and swimming. I work out every day. I am very energetic by nature. Please email if you have any questions about my past babysitting or caregiving experiences. Thanks, Gale

I’m a senior in high school who has been babysitting all throughout high school, and I truly love working with kids. I’m certified in babysitting, First Aid, and CPR, and I’m considering going to college for teaching, so spending time with children is something I’m really passionate about. Families can count on me to be kind, caring, compassionate, and responsible. I have my own car and can babysit after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m excited to help out in any way your family might need, whether that’s playing with the kids, helping with homework, or keeping things organized.

I am a mother of three daughters and a grandmother of 4 grandchildren. My youngest daughter was diagnosed with PDD ( Pervasive Developmental Disorder ) when she was 4. I have been her strongest supportive parent for 30 years. I currently work overnights in Royersford PA. I have worked in the Owen J. Roberts School District through the YMCA's before-and-after school care program. Prior to that, I worked at a daycare with children ages 6 months to 4 years old. I am currently looking to watch children in my home. I have a large playroom with lots of educational toys, a spare bedroom with a crib and a twin bed if the children require a nap and a large yard with lots of outdoor activities for children. I help children learn through fun and games :) I have all the required certificates and necessary clearances to work with children. I have had a variety of jobs over many years, but I found that working with, and taking care of children, is the most rewarding :)

Jessica W., Babysitter in Pottstown, PA 19464 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I am looking for part-time babysitting or mother’s helper work while my own children are in school. I am available Monday through Friday, 9am to 3pm, and occasionally for date night sitting. I bring a unique combination of childcare experience and professional background to every family I work with. Early in my career, I worked as a nanny for two families and remain close with both. I also have direct care experience working in an Alzheimer’s unit, a group home for teenage girls who had experienced abuse, and as a caregiver for an individual with MS. For four years, I volunteered at a bereavement center supporting children who had lost a parent or sibling, which remains one of the most meaningful things I have done. After that season of life, I built a 10-plus year career as an HR professional, which has made me organized, dependable, discreet, and highly attuned to communication and trust. I now have three children of my own, ages 10, 9, and 4, so I understand firsthand what families need and what parents are looking for in someone caring for their kids. I am happy to help beyond traditional babysitting as well, including running errands, light housework, and other tasks that make a parent’s day easier. Outside of work, I am very active. I love hiking, gardening, and spending time with my dogs and chickens. I am Girl Scout troop leader for my daughter’s troop. I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications and have experience volunteering as an EMT when I was younger. As a Girl Scout troop leader, my child abuse clearances are renewed every year, and as a volunteer with a crisis hotline, my criminal clearances are updated annually as well. I have also passed FBI fingerprinting. All records and references are available upon request. I would love to connect with your family!
