Hello! My name is Annie and I’m 21 years old. I currently live in Pearland Tx but I’m originally from Massachusetts. Working with kids has always been a passion for me, I grew up around a lot of little cousins and I always enjoyed taking care of them so now I’ve found myself making a career out of it! I have 8+ years of experience working with kids, 4 years of professional childcare. I was a full time nanny for 2 years, for three children aged 1, 4, and 6 years old. For two summers in a row, I was an aid at a special education summer school, as well as an aid during the school year. Most recently, I’ve been a registered behavior technician at Action Behavior Centers giving ABA therapy to children with autism. I primarily have the most experience with children aged 1-6 years old. I have my own vehicle and I am CPR certified as well. I can help with transportation, special needs care, potty routines, meals, activities, outdoor play, educational play, light housekeeping, travel, etc.! I’m looking for a babysitting job so I’d love to chat!

Hello! My name is Clara, and I am a 26 year-old Registered Nurse (RN) in Pediatrics. I received my first BS in Psychology at Haverford College in 2022, and went back to school for an accelerated BS in Nursing at Villanova University in 2023-2024. I am currently working full-time in Pediatrics in the hospital. :) I have nearly 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience in both the private home-care and professional academic sectors, and have been so fortunate to amass an incredible circle of clients that have followed me through many years and much growth. I love this work and I feel incredibly excited and blessed to be able to expand my experience and passion into the healthcare sector. I am still working regularly for many of my long-time clients — and even with nursing my full-time job, I am still excited and motivated to continue my "home" jobs and enjoy a change of pace from the rigor of the hospital setting. While I am not currently able to accept any full-time or regular-recurring new clients, due to my full-time schedule at the hospital, I would be glad to chat regarding occasional babysitting needs and opportunities for date nights, weekends, holidays, etc. I am still open to taking clients on in this capacity, and would be glad to connect on this front!! :) (Please note: due to my years of experience and my RN licensure, I can assure you that I will provide a high tier of attentive, customized, educated care for your children of all ages and unique intricacies. As such, my starting rate at this time is now $28/hr. Please feel free to send me a message if you would like to discuss my scale for multiple children and inquire about options. Thank you so much for your understanding in advance).

Clara is wonderful! She’s always on time and very sweet. She’s great with our son and was really put to the test when he became stomach sick while under her care. She was quick to give us an update and remained calm and took such great care comforting him ❤️ We would definitely recommend her !

I would recommend Francesca wholeheartedly. She has watched my two young children a few times and each time they were excited to see her and felt comfortable quickly. She has been very communicative, thorough, and reliable.

I’m a evening and overnight caregiver excited to work part time with your family! I love kids and getting involved in what kids are doing - cuddling sleepy newborns, playing house, and making pillow forts are just a few of those activities. I’m passionate about helping kids grow.

You’ll find a couple of traffic violations (e.g. parking tickets) and nothing else. I have excellent references that are available upon request. Thanks!

Leah babysat my kids, aged 12 and 7, for two weeks over the summer. She was with them every weekday for between 4 and 8 hours, and managed to keep them entertained and off their computer screens -- which is something of a miracle! She was very good at playing board games, drawing with them and taking them on short outings. Despite the fact that my 12-year-old son and my 7-year-old daughter have very different personalities, she managed to keep them both happy. She is a compassionate person who understands kids, and she is organized and competent.

I have 20+ years experience working in Pediatrics. I work full time at PennMedicine and my children are grown. I would love to share my expertise and experience working with infants (including premies and twins), preschool age, school age, teens/tweens, and children with special needs. I have degrees in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. I specialize in social/emotional development and helping build coping skills in children. I used babysitters while my children were young. I know how hard it is to find a quality caregiver that you can trust and are spending meaningful time with your children. Dog lover.

Hi I'm Scout! I recently graduated from California Lutheran University where I majored in psychology, with a plan to pursue a career centered around kids in the field of psychology. I previously worked with a couple of families consistently for the past four years, and developed close relationships with them! I would be happy to pass over their information for a reference. I am now moving to Pennsylvania for school, where I am attending Bryn Mawr’s Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research in the fall. Some things about me are that I'm close with my family and my extended family, I have two younger siblings and a lot of little cousins who I love spending time with! In my free time I also love reading, and spending time with my friends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and doing activities like little crafts or playing games, and just making things fun, and I have experience babysitting kids of all ages! ! I'm always very kind, caring, rational, attentive, and patient. I would ensure the safety of your kids while also making sure they're having fun! I do have a car, and am an experienced driver, so I would be happy to pick kids up from school or take them to activities. I would love to get to know you and your kids and your family! I am going to be in the Bryn Mawr area beginning this September and I would love to talk to anyone looking help in that area!
