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!

My name is Hailey and I am attending the county college of Morris studying psychology. I am certified in cpr, aed & first aid for infants & kids/ people all ages. Currently, I am working for Atlantic health care at newton medical center as a patient sitter where I care for patients and help them with any assistance they may need. As for my experience with caring for children I have gained a lot from babysitting my younger brother from infant to present (9 years old) from long period of time up to over night. I have babysat two children at once ex. Ages 4 & 6 so caring for multiple children at once is no problem. I will always make sure your child will have any chores/school work they may need to do completed while also making sure they are happy and having a good time. I do not have experience as a “nanny” but I would love to start somewhere and gain some, I am confident I could be one of the best with all my experience and love for kids! I really enjoy working with children and would love to get all the experience I can because of what I am studying and what I would like to pursue with my degree one day working with children of all ages. So I hope you will give me the opportunity to show you how well I can/will care for your child. If you have any questions for me please ask!

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.

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’ve always loved working with children. I have about four years of experience working in a daycare, which was owned by my mom, so I’ve been around children and childcare for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped care for children of different ages, including feeding, playing, helping with activities, keeping them on their routines, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I also have younger siblings, so babysitting and helping take care of kids has always been a big part of my life. I’m patient, responsible, caring, and comfortable handling the everyday responsibilities that come with caring for children. I enjoy keeping kids entertained while also making sure they feel comfortable and supported.💕

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.
