Hi! I’m a 19-year-old second-year accounting student with a strong passion for childcare and helping others. I have 3 years of experience working as a lifeguard, where I developed responsibility, attentiveness, and strong safety skills. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I’m very involved in my community and love staying active—I’m also a cheerleader, so I bring a fun, energetic, and positive attitude to everything I do. I truly enjoy working with children, especially babies, and I’m patient, caring, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I also have my own car for reliable transportation and am happy to help with light tasks, playtime, and creating a safe, engaging environment. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Jaelynn really has such skills in taking care of children. She has great intuition with infants-regularly changing them, feeding them, and providing attention to their needs. She is very patient with my little guy and she shows so much initiative. She does more than what I ask and her kindness just blows me away. I trust her with my little guy and know that he is in safe hands with her. If we could have 1,000 Jaelynn’s as babysitters, that would be a perfect world! Hiring Jaelynn is a non-negotiable for me! She is my go-to sitter always!

I enjoy working with children and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can learn and grow. Every child has a unique personality, and I love building relationships with them while giving parents peace of mind that their children are in good hands. I have experience caring for children through babysitting, working with families, and serving in leadership roles that required responsibility, communication, and problem-solving. I'm also a Resident Assistant at Penn State Berks, where I've developed strong interpersonal and conflict-resolution skills. As a Psychology student, I have a growing understanding of child development and behavior. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and a strong communicator. I'm comfortable helping with homework, planning engaging activities, preparing simple meals, and maintaining routines. My background in psychology has given me valuable knowledge about child development, and I'm always committed to creating a safe, positive environment for every child.

With over 20 years of experience working with children, I began volunteering in my local church’s children’s ministry during my teenage years. This experience, which involved working with various age groups and leading summer activities, inspired me to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education at a community college. I have since worked as a preschool teacher, gaining hands-on experience in fostering early learning. I am fluent in Spanish and hold all current Pennsylvania clearances. In addition, I have served as a substitute teacher assistant in my local school district, further expanding my skills in supporting diverse student needs. As a parent of three children, I homeschooled two of them up to their 4th grade, which provided me with valuable insight into the educational process and individualized learning approaches. This experience has deepened my understanding of early childhood development and the importance of creating a nurturing learning environment. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and ensuring their success, both academically and socially. I am excited to bring my background, skills, and dedication to a role where I can continue to positively impact young learners.

I have significant experience working with children of all ages. In addition to being a camp counselor, volunteer, and babysitter of all ages, I have worked with children professionally for the past 8 years. I began as an early childhood teacher (floater) then transitioned to a full-time infant teacher while completing my Bachelors Degree. As a full-time infant teacher, my co-teacher and I cared for 8 infants; in addition to caring, we promoted a positive and nurturing environment focusing on physical, mental, and social-emotional growth. After graduating, I worked as a paraprofessional at Sage Day School, a private school catering to students with emotional and behavioral needs. I then transitioned to Woodcliff Lake Middle School as a Special Education Teacher's Assistant where I worked one-on-one in an LLD classroom learning/teaching ABA. During the pandemic, I found myself searching for new opportunities and ultimately could not be happier working FT at Huntington Learning Center.

Hi! I'm someone who truly loves working with children. My favorite part is watching them learn something new and seeing how excited they get when they want to show you what they've accomplished. Being a small part of their growth and helping build their confidence is incredibly rewarding. I've been caring for children since I was 16 years old, starting with babysitting and continuing through a variety of childcare and education roles. I've worked as a preschool assistant with infants through school-age children, taught preschool, and currently work as a paraprofessional. These experiences have helped me become patient, dependable, and creative when it comes to keeping kids engaged, safe, and happy. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I always strive to create a fun, caring, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the kind of care that gives parents peace of mind while helping kids have fun and thrive!

I am a rising senior at the University of Scranton majoring in Physiology/Philosophy. I have a passion in pursing healthcare and am currently applying to PA school. I have 2 years of experience babysitting a 8 and 12 year old, as well as extensive experience caring for children of all ages within my own family. While I currently work part-time in the ER as a medical scribe, I have much availability throughout my summer break to babysit as I am needed, and am more than willing to help out once school starts, particularly in the early mornings/evenings within the week and the weekends. As a French tutor at my university, as well as a current mentor for a science internship, I am very skilled with helping children with homework. I am CPR/First-Aid trained and I do have a car. Please contact me if you have any questions/concerns. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
