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.

Shea is wonderful to work with. Our kids (6, 3, and 1) light up when she walks through the door. She plays, cooks, and listens. I highly recommend her as a sitter.

Hi! I’m Rachel, a former first-grade teacher now living on the Upper East Side and working remotely in EdTech. My current contract wraps up in October, and I’m looking for a part-time babysitting or childcare position, ideally for morning care, school drop-offs, or after-school care. I have five years of elementary teaching experience and extensive experience working with young children and families. I’m comfortable helping with homework, preparing simple meals and snacks, getting kids ready for school, keeping routines on track, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. I’m responsible, patient, organized, and genuinely love working with kids. Since I’m based on the Upper East Side, I’d especially love to connect with a local family looking for consistent, dependable help during the week!

I lived in Florida from 2015-2020 I am originally from PA and we returned back here in 2020; I graduated with three degrees all in a science related field back in 2015. I started babysitting mostly my sister starting when I was about twelve and she was five. Once I started college I worked in a childcare center for about a year, I worked with children aged 6 months to 12 years of age. I love working with children because they are always on the go and exploring the world around them, it is a joy watching them learn and grow. Once my husband and I moved to Florida I started to nanny for a family of 5 they had twin girls age 2 and a son age 8, whom I still babysit for on occasion, especially when they go out of town. Since I have been in Florida I have babysat for multiple families on multiple occasions. The number of children I have watched at any given time ranges from 1-4 with ages between 2-13 as well as several with autism and/or ADHD. I have adapted to each situation and the same few families request my help on a regular basis. Each and every child needs attention, patience, and kindness. I do arts and crafts and read with the children as well as play with them whether that be, outdoors, video games, Legos, or board games. I do have previous first aid and CPR experience as well as a clean driving record and background check.
