I just want to keep this bio short and simple for everyone who will be reading this! I love being around kids and helping them brighten up their days! What sets me apart from anybody else is that I like listening to the kids and taking in any constructive ideas that may be brought to the table to help them feel more comfortable with me.

Babysitting is seriously one of my favorite things to do. I love hanging out with kids and just being a big goofball with them. Whether we're building epic forts, having dance parties, or getting super creative with arts and crafts, there's never a dull moment. It's awesome to see them laugh and have fun, and honestly, it makes my day too. Plus, it's cool knowing that I'm helping out their parents and making their lives a little easier. It's just a fun and rewarding gig all around!

Jessica W., Babysitter in Reading, PA 19606 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!

Shalimar A., Babysitter in Reading, PA 19606 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Shalimar, and I have over 5 years of experience working in childcare. I currently work as a Site Director and also hold an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education Management along with my CDA certification. Caring for children has always been something I’m passionate about because I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn and grow. I am currently relocating to Charlotte, NC, and I’m looking forward to building connections with wonderful families in the area. I would also have my 2-year-old daughter accompanying me while providing care. She is friendly, active, and I believe this can be a great opportunity for socialization, play, and friendship for your child in a comfortable home-like setting. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and experienced with children of different ages. I enjoy planning engaging activities, helping with routines, and making sure children feel supported and cared for every day. I can provide physical or emailed copies of Pennsylvania criminal background ground check, Pennsylvania Child Abuse, National Sex Offender Registry, and FBI Clearance.
