Libbieann A., Babysitter in Scranton, PA 18504 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Libbie-Ann Amitrano, and I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me—it's something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. Over the years, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with families by providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their little ones. My experience includes everything from preparing meals and helping with homework to planning creative activities, managing bedtime routines, and supporting developmental milestones. Whether it's playing games, reading stories, or just being a supportive and calm presence, I always strive to make each child feel heard, safe, and happy. I'm reliable, patient, and energetic, and I truly love what I do. I’d be happy to meet and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Hello! I am a graduate occupational therapy student at The University of Scranton with over 6 years of experience working in child care, supporting children from 6 months to 13 years old. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and have up to date background checks. I greatly enjoy being a sitter because I love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and express themselves. I value building meaningful connections with each child and supporting their unique personalities and interests. Some of the skills I bring as a sitter include: - Strong communication with both children and parents. -Patience and creativity in planning engaging, age-appropriate activities. - Ability to manage routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime smoothly. - Problem-solving and quick decision making in unexpected situations. -Attentiveness to safety while encouraging independence and confidence. - Reliable transportation and willingness to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, or outings. I look forward to helping each child feel cared for, supported, and happy while parents can feel confident and reassured.

Patricia G., Babysitter in Scranton, PA 18504 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Pat. I am a very energetic, artistic, creative and loving mother, grand-mother and babysitter. My career has been as an artist in many capacities, however, I so very much enjoy being around children, so I looked forward to babysitting, since my children and grandkids live far and I miss them! I would love to be able to help you out! I feel confident in my abilities after all these years, of handling any emergencies, or issues in a mature, calm, and decisive way. I am a very honest and caring person. Children bring me so very much joy and I love helping them! I thoroughly enjoy reading to them, playing games, crafts, exercising, and of course, any kind of artwork! Please feel free to ask me anything at all. It would be an honor to be able to care for and spend very meaningful time with ur child/children! One thing I am not comfortable doing is sitting children in front of the TV for long periods of time… (unless it is something you need them to watch.) During the time they are away from there parent(s) I feel a deep responsibility to keep them engaged, happy and thriving. I truly hope to meet with you soon. But if it is not meant to be, ‘Good Luck’ in your search! I remember how stressful it was at times to find a sitter… have a great day!!! Pat ☀️😊🤗 Ps… I would also be fine with helping out with cooking, laundry, and any small jobs you might need done.
