We traveled into the area for a family wedding, and Anastasia was an amazing babysitter for our group of 5 kids from multiple families. She brought fun activities for them to do in the hotel, played games outside, took them swimming in the hotel pool, and ordered & fed them dinner. Our kids had a blast and raved about Anastasia . She was a great communicator during the hiring process and throughout our event. We highly recommend her to others!

Julia B., Child Care in Columbia, PA 17512 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Julia Bradley, and I’m 21 years old with over 6 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages. I’ve spent the past 4 years working in and out of two different daycare centers, where I gained hands-on experience in creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids. I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor, which helped me build strong skills in keeping children engaged, active, and entertained. I’m currently a junior in college studying early education, so working with children is not just a job for me—it’s something I’m passionate about and planning to pursue as a career. I also play Division II lacrosse, so I’m very active, energetic, and able to keep up with kids of all energy levels! I have my own car, am very reliable, and take pride in being responsible, patient, and caring. I love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’d love the opportunity to work with your family!

Madisyn M., Child Care in Columbia, PA 17512 with 2 years of paid experience

I’m a freshman in college majoring in Occupational Therapy at Elizabethtown College. My passion for childcare has grown through both my studies and my hands‑on experience working at Elizabethtown Child Care Center, where I care for children ranging from 6 months to 10 years old. I also have babysitting experience with a single mom of three (ages 6, 10, and 14), where I handled sports practice pick-up/drop off, bedtime routines, dinner prep, kitchen cleanup, laundry, homework help, and pet care. I have all my clearances, and I’m currently renewing my CPR and First Aid certifications. I love engaging with kids of all ages, whether we’re playing, learning, or winding down for the evening, and I’m equally comfortable caring for pets—I have a dog and two cats of my own. I’m a naturally tidy, organized person who enjoys helping create a calm, stress‑free environment, and I’m committed to providing reliable, warm, and attentive care for your little (or big) ones. I am looking for a summer job, and can start any time after May 9th. I am also looking for a family who may need help 2-3 days a week.
