Grace M., Child Care in McKnight, PA 15237 with 10 years of paid experience

Growing up in a home that provided foster care to many children, I learned to value from a young age the importance of curiosity, play, teaching at an appropriate level, and the impact of engaged care on developing minds. I have spent time working with children of all ages in paid babysitting/nannying positions since I was 16, as well as counseling kids 5-18 at a summer camp for 10+ years. I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant and love to use some of my professional skills with the kiddos I work with. In addition to spending time with children, I love being outdoors (swimming, hiking, kayaking, rock climbing), practicing yoga, traveling, and reading. I am (mostly) fluent in Spanish and have spent many months in Mexico volunteering at an orphanage. As parents navigate work , school, and safety for their families, I want to provide families with a sense of comfort and safety as I provide the care your family needs. I have all of my clearances, my own transportation, and CPR certification. I wish you luck in your search for care, and am looking forward to hearing from families who think I may be a potential match with their needs!

Grace is a very professional, warm, and reliable sitter who connected immediately with our eight-month-old. She played games and kept him safe and happy throughout the time he was in her care. She did an outstanding job, and I have already hired her again!

Cheryl P., Child Care in McKnight, PA 15237 with 20 years of paid experience

I am a certified Early and Elementary teacher and have taught grades 1-3 for 16 years and am currently a preschool teacher. I’m a non-smoker and animal lover and I am also CPR certified and have my PA clearances. I have availability for child care needs and would love to provide flexible care including part-time or drop-in care. I could entertain school-age or preschool children while you are at work or even working from home. I teach during the day but can provide care for an evening out and can assist with homework help or feeding and bedtime. About me: I’m a mom of two grown babies. Working with children is my passion. During my free time I love to hike and be outdoors. I’m also a certified yoga instructor. When my kids were younger I operated a state licensed family daycare home. I’d love to chat with you about your specific family needs and come up with tailored care for your kiddos. Education and certifications: Carlow University graduate majored in Early and Elementary education Master degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lesley University Lower Elementary Montessori certification from Seacoast Montessori

Cheryl was absolutely incredible with our little one. We found her last minute and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took our little one outside for activities, fed her dinner, and put her to down for bed time. Cheryl was ok with using cloth diapers and she even did a load of laundry, which we didn’t ask to do but was very thankful for. Cannot recommend enough!!!!

Jordyn has been a fantastic help in caring for our twins. She has been punctual and pleasant. The one time that she was running late she called us well in advance to let us know. I am working from home and as such I have the privilege of checking in with my kids through the work day. It's clear that when she's with the kids she's engaging with them and not just jumping up to look busy. They go outside to play. They do activities. They sit and have quiet time. She is not someone that needs prompting to engage with them and that's huge. My kids love her and when she goes home after a long day they ask me to take them to her house. I cannot recommend her more if you have the opportunity to hire her.

Valeria  V., Child Care in McKnight, PA 15237 with 1 year of paid experience

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with kids and making a positive impact in their lives. Every child is unique, and I love building connections with them, helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. Whether it’s reading stories, playing games, or helping with homework, I find a lot of joy in being someone they can trust and have fun with. It’s also rewarding to support parents by giving them peace of mind knowing their children are well cared for. What experience do you have? I currently work at the Kids Klub at LA Fitness, where I care for children of all ages, including those with disabilities. I’ve also babysat for different families, taking care of children ranging from 3 months to 14 years old. These experiences have given me strong skills in supervision, engagement, and adapting to different children's needs and personalities. I’ve also helped with daily routines like feeding, changing diapers, and bedtime. What skills and training do you have? I am CPR and AED certified through the American Heart Association and have gone through background checks and additional training through my job at LA Fitness. I’m fluent in Spanish, which helps me support bilingual families and assist with homework or tutoring when needed. I’m also currently in college studying Allied Health, which has given me a solid understanding of child development, health, and safety practices.

Lea watched my kids (2 and 4) when we were in a bind with after school care. She was responsible, reliable, attentive, showed up on time, and my kids loved her. I will definitely use her again.
