Find experienced child care providers in Hunker, PA

Hi! I'm Kyla, and I absolutely love being a sitter because I enjoy building meaningful connections with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with homework, or just being a supportive presence, I find joy in creating a safe and positive environment for every child! I have about 4 years of paid experience (and tons without being paid for family) working with children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I've babysat for families in my neighborhood, worked at summer camps, and even helped out in classrooms as part of my education studies. Each experience has taught me something new and helped me become a more attentive and responsible caregiver! In terms of training, I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have all of my clearances, and have a background in child development from my education coursework. I'm patient, creative, and always ready to jump into a game or a storytime session! I also understand how to manage routines, handle conflicts gently, and make sure your child feels safe and supported while you're away!

I am a recent graduate from a four year university and am currently attending graduate school to get my Masters to be a Physician assistant. I have my CNA license and am also BLS certified since 2021. I have work experience working at hospitals and health facilities in Nebraska and California working with both adults and children (infants-18yo). Throughout high school, I babysat for many families with multiple children and pets. More recently, I have had the pleasure of taking care of a young child 8 months old. I enjoy being around and taking care of children of all ages. I have 4 pets myself (two dogs and two cats) and am very comfortable around all pets! I have my own car and would be comfortable driving as needed. I would love the opportunity to be a part of yours and your children's lives :)

Hello My name is Laura. I am a non smoking married mother of three adult daughters. I have over 15 years of child care/ household management experience. I am CPR Certified/ First-Aid Certified. (Letter of recommendation and references upon request) I believe being a nanny is more than meeting their physical needs and keeping them safe.

Hi, I’m Abigal — a devoted mom, childcare professional, and someone who truly understands how much trust it takes to place your child in someone else’s care. I hold a Master’s degree in Child Psychology and bring over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. But my most meaningful role is being a mom to my wonderfully gifted 2-year-old son, who is my absolute pride and joy. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom since the day he was born, pouring my heart into his growth, development, and happiness. That season of motherhood has deepened my empathy, strengthened my patience, and reinforced what matters most: safety, connection, and unconditional love. As I return to nannying, I do so not just as a professional — but as a parent who understands the late-night worries, the desire for consistency, the importance of routines, and the comfort of knowing your child is genuinely cared for. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who will treat your child the way you would. Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a nanny, au pair, tutor, childcare aide, household manager, and backup care provider. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of developmental milestones, emotional regulation, positive discipline, and creating structured yet joyful environments. I focus on fostering independence, confidence, and kindness while maintaining clear boundaries and a calm, nurturing presence. My approach is energetic yet mindful, structured yet warm. I create spaces where children feel safe, heard, and celebrated for who they are. I value open communication with parents and believe we work as a team — because your child deserves consistency and support both at home and in my care. When you welcome me into your home, you’re not just hiring experience — you’re gaining a caregiver who understands your heart as a parent. I am dependable, attentive, and deeply committed to providing the kind of care I would want for my own child. I would be honored to support your family and help your little ones grow, learn, and thrive.

I have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with credits in education. My full-time job is a Student Assistant Program (SAP) Liaison for a school district.

My names Cherise and I am 29 years old. I'm originally from England but came to America to be an au pair and was living with a wonderful family and their three kids for 2 whole years. The youngest being 3 months when I started with them, it was definitely hard to say goodbye. I have also been a nanny for 2 kids (4 months and 2.5 at start) for 1.5 years. And I am currently a nanny for 4 kids, primarily caring for the 12 month old. Before I came to America, I successfully completed my qualification in early childcare education and I then went on to work in a daycare for 2 years. This means I have lots of experience with kids from 3 months to 6 years. Babies being my absolute favourite age, watching them grow and learn and change so much is incredibly rewarding. During this time that I have worked with children, I have set up activities with the kids that help engage them as well as develop their skills and confidence. Having been in daycare and home environments means that I am familiar with routines and the differences in every child, and in every age,and how all children learn and achieve differently. What works for one child might not work for another so getting to know the child is important and helps create a special bond. I have also taken first aid courses whilst I was in the daycare and while preparing to be an au pair so I am comfortable with first aid in children, even babies. I'm a happy, caring and reliable person and I love spending time with children I'd also consider myself a creative person, painting, baking cookies, making stuff with the children or just singing and dancing around with them. I may not be the best at drawing or dancing, but I still enjoy getting involved and joining in with them anyway.

My practical knowledge combined with my personal experience as a mother allows me to connect with children and support their growth, development, and well-being. I would love the opportunity to bring my dedication and energy to your family. I am confident I can provide dependable care and a positive environment for your children. I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can meet your childcare needs in more detail. Thank you for your time and consideration.
