Kathleen C., Child Care in Merion Station, PA 19066 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Kathleen and I am a kindergarten music teacher in the Norristown Area School District (as a PA certified teacher all clearances available upon request). I grew up in a large family of six kids and have always enjoyed working with children. During high school, I began camp counseling during the summers and professionally working with children. In college, I started babysitting for families with toddlers and elementary-aged children. When I graduated, I began teaching music, working with children grades 1-8. Now I currently work with kindergarten children aged 5-6. Outside of teaching music, I am a very active individual. I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, performing on voice and piano, exploring museums and new places, playing guitar, and sports. I recently received my black belt and have been training in martial arts for five years. I also enjoy playing volleyball and frisbee in recreational leagues with friends. As a sitter, I've always enjoyed providing the best experiences for families and their children. I am not the kind of sitter who is going to be content doing the bare minimum. I really genuinely love helping families and engaging and creating quality activities for children. Especially during the warmer months, I love taking children for time outside like walks to the park or playing soccer or tag in the yard. I've enjoyed building new lego creations, baking cookies, and drawing and painting. I also have no problem cleaning and doing house work, I actually enjoy it. However, I will always ask if it's okay though. I also have no problem making snacks and food for children. I've always treated each child and family as if they were my own and always make sure to deliver service with the utmost respect and care.

Hey everyone. I have a ton of experience love animals and children of all ages I do prefer to begin with younger children(infants, preschoolers and s hool aged children) it's fun however, with my patience, humor and common sense I can handle anything. So ready to take care of your children I took some time off due to a position ending and now I want to return. I miss my daily routine, reading, being outdoors, learning activities, going for walks, tummy time (if infant), games, puzzles and interactive play. I love to laugh have fun and mix it up with learning activities. I am reliable, have a clean background on file and cpr first aid certified, tdap, flu and I'm vacinated for covid. Please reach out if this interests you. Thanks for reading! Also, I have a reliable car..

Abigail P., Child Care in Merion Station, PA 19066 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Abbey, and I recently relocated to the Philadelphia area after earning my Architecture degree. Before college, I spent five years as a professional childcare provider, starting as the lead teacher in an infant classroom and later moving up with my class into the toddler room (12–18 months). So, I have the most experience caring for children from 8 weeks to 3 years old. Childcare has always been a true passion of mine. I love getting to know each child's unique personality, supporting their development, and building meaningful relationships with both children and their parents. I truly believe there is nothing more rewarding than watching little ones reach new milestones, grow in confidence, and develop into their own unique selves. Leaving my childcare job to attend college was one of the hardest decisions I had to make, and I still make a point to visit my old daycare babies whenever I'm back home! Now that I've finished school and am settling into Philly, I'm looking for a wonderful family to build that same lasting connection with through a full-time nanny position. Outside of nannying, I'm a small scale lighting designer/maker, and creativity is a big part of who I am. I love bringing that creativity into everyday life through hands-on activities, crafts, imaginative play, reading, and encouraging curiosity and a love of learning. My goal is to create a home environment where children feel safe to explore, create, and grow while becoming a dependable, long-term part of your family's support system. I am happy to help with general household tasks, meal preparation, and pet care, and I have reliable transportation. I am also Better Beginnings certified and trained in infant CPR and First Aid, and I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family and look forward to meeting you!

Abigail worked for our family for a couple of years. We loved her so much, and she was such a joy to work with. Anigail treated our kids with so much love and kindness. Our children still talk about Mrs. Abbey to this day. You will not find a better nanny for your children.
