I am a married mother of two daughters who are grown and out of the house. I am interested in helping you with your babysitting needs. I am available evenings and weekends. I babysit either in your home or my home. I have done overnights in my house and in the family's home as well. Although I am not available during the day, I would ask that you consider me for evenings and weekends for date nights etc. I am off on Fridays and babysit as needed during the day. I have my Child Abuse Clearances as well as a Criminal Background Check. I live in the Shiloh/West York area. I work full time at Wellspan Health during the day. I am babysitting for several families on an as needed basis for extra income. I love children. I am very hands on and like to spend quality time with the children I babysit for. I am a very loving nurturing person. It is my desire to babysit for so parents have the reassurance that their children are in the hands of a mature trustworthy person I have over 10 plus years caring for multiples - twins and triplets. In the past I have cared for 3 plus families of twins and 4 families of triplets. I’m also very experienced with infants As I mentioned these are not on a regular weekly basis, but as needed. I am definitely available for evenings and weekends for occasional date nights. Please consider me for your babysitting needs. Lisa Bowman

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!
