Hi there! My name is Hillary and I absolutely love working with families and caring for children! I started my career babysitting during high school. While attending college for my art degree, I worked with several families part time. These were so fun and rewarding, that I decided to pursue childcare full-time, with professional nanny positions. For over 15 years I have continued to provide families with individualized care for their children, including experience with newborns and infant twins! Providing help with transportation, overnights, nanny share and pet care are included in my detailed resume, with references available upon request. In between regular positions, I focus on occasional sitting and providing emergency/ back up care. I would be available to fill in, if your primary childcare is unavailable, even with very short notice. I look forward to hearing from you!

The ages I have worked with are infant to school age so I am well verse in age developmental milestones and age appropriate learning. I have also worked as an at home teacher providing care to 3 children. When I'm with children I take care of them as if they were my own. My goal as a sitter, nanny and teacher is to take care of children, help them grow, and to just have fun with them! I am willing to do light housekeeping and meal preparation. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am dependable, honest, hard working, a good listener, and kind. My friends also say I am bubbly and funny!!☺️ I am looking forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you, Veronica

Nurturing young minds is my passion! My journey into childcare began with positive babysitting experiences and solidified during my time working with a class of 20, 3-4-year-olds at a daycare. I am currently completing my AA degree in elementary education and aspire to teach 3rd grade. I have two years of experience caring for children ages 0-12+, and I am comfortable supervising up to three children. I am patient, creative, friendly, and very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, educational games, and even some technology-based games. I'm happy to provide verbal updates at pickup or communicate via text/phone, according to your preference. I am also willing to help with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. I have First Aid Training and CPR Training. I also have Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development Coursework.

Hi! I’m Bailey, i'm a High School senior (18) and I’ve been babysitting for about three years. I truly enjoy spending time with kids of all ages, and I love being a sitter because every day is different — you get to learn their personalities, be part of their growth, and create a safe, fun environment for them to feel comfortable in. I have experience working with all kinds of kids, including toddlers, school-aged children, and siblings of different ages. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure kids feel supported and understood. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or getting everyone settled for bedtime, I try to make each moment positive and stress-free. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and completed a babysitting course, so safety is always my first priority. Along with that, I bring strong communication skills and good problem-solving abilities, which help me handle unexpected situations calmly and confidently. As well as, good communication with parents and guardians. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and be someone you can rely on. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

- 4 years paid experience

Hi! I’m Shambhavi—a University of Pittsburgh graduate with degrees in Sociology and Biology, and someone who’s always had a deep love for working with kids. Even though I’m not a parent myself, I’ve felt like a second mom since I was young. I grew up with a little sister who’s 8.5 years younger than me, and from the time she was born, I was helping out—feeding her, playing with her, doing school drop-offs, and everything in between. That experience really shaped how naturally I connect with children and how much joy I get from caring for them. Professionally, I’ve worked in both healthcare and education. I’m a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and worked as a medical assistant at a pediatric clinic, so I’m confident handling everything from bumps and bruises to more serious situations with calm and care. I’ve also served with AmeriCorps at the Boys and Girls Club, been a camp counselor, and tutored students throughout my entire academic journey—from elementary to college-level subjects. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing make-believe, or calming bedtime worries, I truly enjoy being a positive, supportive presence in a child’s life. Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I care deeply about. I’d love to meet your family and learn how I can help support you and your little ones!
