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).

I am a career nanny with over 20 years of experience. I am also a certified newborn care specialist and postpartum doula. I have two children of my own, they are 12 and 14. I live in Havertown and I do both day and overnight work. While I have worked with children of all ages, infants are my speciality. I typically take contracts that are one year or less and often work the gap between maternity leave and daycare. I am often the first person families leave with their baby. I have all of my vaccinations, am CPR/First Aid certified and have up to date clearances. I have my own reliable car and I am very prompt and professional. My new position is part time, so I will update my availability for the days and nights that I am free. I’m happy to work with infants or infants and newborns
