Hello my name is Shea. I am currently working full time as an occupational therapist (7-3:30; M-F). I worked at a child care center called The Cuddle Zone Learning Center located in Allentown for a little over 4 years where I was an assistant teacher for the school age program for 2 years and lead teacher for the infant room for 2 years. In Pittsburgh, where I attended undergrad, I worked at another child care center called the Children's Center of Pittsburgh. At this center I worked with children aged from 3 months to 2 years. I also supervised children at a local church in Pittsburgh while their parents attended the service. I have my clearances, FBI fingerprints, CPR, first aid, and completed trainings in mandated reporting, supervision, etc.

I've taken care of children and infants for decades. The amazing thing about children, at any age, is how dynamic they are. It is a real pleasure to take care of an infant or a child--there are insights to delight me at any age! I was a teacher at the NYC Department of Education for almost 26 years, and I taught English to students from 7th grade to the senior level, frequently teaching AP English Literature as well as AP English Language. My students were amazing people--curious, intelligent, and hardworking. In terms of certification, I hold permanent English certification in the state of NY, and have earned three degrees: B.A. in Special Honors and Classical Studies, M.A. in English (with a specialty in Creative Writing), and an M.S. in English Education. In each of my courses of study, I have earned honors or have graduated with academic distinction (I have copies of all my transcripts). I had CPR certification in the past, but am scheduled to take a First Aid/CPR for children course on March 13th with the American Red Cross.

Hello my name is Guner. I'm a kind, caring, and responsible person who truly enjoys spending time with kids. While I don’t have professional babysitting experience yet, I’ve spent a lot of time taking care of my younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable and confident around children of different ages. I’m currently studying to become a radiation therapist, and one of my goals is to work with children in the medical field. I believe building strong, supportive relationships with kids is so important, whether that means playing, helping with homework, or simply being someone they can chat with. I’m always happy to help out around the house, too I can do laundry, light cleaning, meal prep, and more. I’m dependable, patient, and always bring a positive attitude. I’d love the chance to support your family and get to know your children

Hi! My name is Kait, and I'm a highly experienced, college educated caregiver who has a passion for working with and forming relationships with children. I have worked with all aged children, from infants, to toddlers, to pre k and to students in elementary school, and I couldn't imagine spending my life doing anything else. I have my degree in sociology with a minor in social work and a certificate in crisis intervention. I've spent time volunteering with various childcare programs at my local church, have babysat for individual families, have worked at a local daycare as their assistant toddler 1 teacher/floater, as well as an after school kindergarten and school age childcare professional. All of this experience has allowed for me to grow and improve as a childcare provider. I value most respect for the child and their family, compassion, and fostering creativity and curiosity, as well as providing for the mental, emotional, and physical needs for the kids that are in my care! I have my own car and am CPR and first aid trained!! I also have plenty of references if desired. Rest easy knowing your children are safe in my care!

As a caring mom to a 4-month-old, I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your little one in someone else’s care. My hands-on experience with my own baby, along with a natural love for children, means I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every family I help. I’m comfortable caring for newborns, infants, and older children — from bottle-feeding and diaper changes to playtime and bedtime routines. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where both parents and kids feel at ease.
