I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they can learn and feel comfortable. I have experience caring for kids of different ages, helping with daily routines like meals, homework, playtime, and bedtime. I’m patient, responsible, and reliable, with strong communication skills and a focus on safety. I always aim to be someone families can trust and depend on.

Shambhavi P., Child Care in Portage, PA 15946 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Shambhavi—a University of Pittsburgh graduate with degrees in Sociology and Biology, and someone who’s always had a deep love for working with kids. Even though I’m not a parent myself, I’ve felt like a second mom since I was young. I grew up with a little sister who’s 8.5 years younger than me, and from the time she was born, I was helping out—feeding her, playing with her, doing school drop-offs, and everything in between. That experience really shaped how naturally I connect with children and how much joy I get from caring for them. Professionally, I’ve worked in both healthcare and education. I’m a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and worked as a medical assistant at a pediatric clinic, so I’m confident handling everything from bumps and bruises to more serious situations with calm and care. I’ve also served with AmeriCorps at the Boys and Girls Club, been a camp counselor, and tutored students throughout my entire academic journey—from elementary to college-level subjects. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing make-believe, or calming bedtime worries, I truly enjoy being a positive, supportive presence in a child’s life. Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I care deeply about. I’d love to meet your family and learn how I can help support you and your little ones!

I have 1 year of experience. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Errands. I come with excellent references. I am very patient with children and love helping them learn while also having fun. I'm currently in high school as a senior I plan to find a nanny job in the summer on weekends preferably or whenever I'm needed. I have been working in a daycare and plan on furthering my education in childcare. I will have my license by then and working towards getting a car. I'm comfortable with working with 1-3 children as of now I'm comfortable working with infant to school age. I'm hoping to find a family to work and grow with.
