Find local child care providers in Gettysburg, PA

At the age of 14, my ADVENTURE of babysitting began. Living in a gated-community, I drove my bike 10 minutes away to a families home in which I would get their 7 year old off the bus and ‘play’ (I viewed babysitting as something fun to do) with him for a few hours. Since then, I have created many more adventures with numerous families and kiddos of all ages! From building Lego sets, finding arts & crafts ideas, helping parents and kiddos through the horrors of online schooling during COVID-19, going from reading picture books-to-chapter books, being able to see these young future leaders grow; all while I am growing and learning more myself! I completed my Associates Degree - Associates in Science at Harrisburg Community College in 2021. After completing over 70 early education credits, I then transferred to Shippensburg University. I am going into my final semester of my school career (well where I’m the one attending… for now!). In Fall of 2023, I will be starting my semester of student teaching, very exciting! I will be graduating from Shippensburg with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Education PreK-4. I then plan on becoming a full-time sub at a local school district to get even more experience and education in the real-world! I hope to teach either 2 or 3 grade for a few years and eventually resume my studies at Ship for my Masters Degree in Special Education!

I love working with kids, while being a college student studying Criminal justice! Working with kids is something that I enjoy doing, specially because it give me a break from school while I am working. I’m funny, energetic, and very patient with kids. Hope to see you soon!

Hi! My name is Jenna Hovet. I am 22 years old. I absolutely love babysitting. I have done both nannying and babysitting, plus I worked at a daycare in High school. Throughout Covid I helped tutor an elementary aged student. I have had weekly jobs, random date night jobs, and overnights! I want kids to feel loved, seen, and heard. I value the uniqueness in each child. I love to have fun and I am super creative. I am capable and I am a fast learner. I’m happy to cook, clean, do laundry, plan activities, and basically anything that involves watching kids. I’m happy to meet pets and love them too!! I have many references from babysitting and nannying. I’m happy to provide names and numbers! I just recently moved to Pennsylvania from Oregon. I can’t wait to make more babysitting connections. I have been trained in CPR and first aid and am going to get my certification renewed ASAP.

Hi my name is Leah- I am 21 years old. I love working with children, it is truly my passion! I am currently in school for social work. I have experience working with children of all ages. I have worked at a daycare with infants, toddlers, and 2-4 year olds. I also have experience working at an elementary school where I primarily worked with the second grades. I have my own car, am CRP certified, and covid vaxxed. Let me know if you have any questions! My schedule is very flexible

I’ve always had a natural connection with kids, which really grew during high school when I was part of a teaching program where I got hands on experience working with little children . That’s where I discovered how much I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. Since then, I’ve babysat for neighbors, family friends. I’m the kind of sitter who gets down on the floor to build Legos, reads the same book three times if asked, and makes sure everyone feels safe and heard. I also have basic first aid training and a calm, patient approach when things get hectic. I love being someone families can count on and someone kids actually look forward to seeing!

For the past 8 years, I have provided part-time care/transportation for a family with a child with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder(level 2). I am a retired Social Worker and provided support to families for over 20 years in Carroll County Maryland. I was also a foster care provider for Adams County Pennsylvania. I am a parent to 2 boys, now both adults. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have worked for Littlestown Area School District and Hanover YMCA and have had all clearances related to working with children. I can provide background and clearances upon request.

Hello! I am currently working at Amazing Kids Club in Hanover, PA and looking for some part time babysitting so I can make a difference in kids lives and make some extra money.

Hi, and welcome to my page! My name is Alycia; I have been a childcare professional for the past five years and am now looking for a summer job (potentially more!). I began working in childcare when I was 14 volunteering in my church’s Sunday School “twos and threes” room. Throughout high school I babysat and tutored an elementary school student in a private home (age 7-9). Upon graduation, I began working in the infant and early toddler room at my local YWCA (ages 6 weeks through 2 years). After gaining some experience there, I returned back to faith based education at my local Christian School as a preschool educator (ages 3-7). Most recently, I have worked with special needs and behavioral students in an alternative education placement (ages 7 through 12). I understand how life can get crazy at times and would love to help out any families in need during my free time. I am open to assisting with any household chores, pet care, tutoring, or babysitting, as needed, and am currently up to date on First Aid and CPR certifications. I look forward to hearing from you!
