Jessica W., Child Care in Reading, PA 19606 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I am looking for part-time babysitting or mother’s helper work while my own children are in school. I am available Monday through Friday, 9am to 3pm, and occasionally for date night sitting. I bring a unique combination of childcare experience and professional background to every family I work with. Early in my career, I worked as a nanny for two families and remain close with both. I also have direct care experience working in an Alzheimer’s unit, a group home for teenage girls who had experienced abuse, and as a caregiver for an individual with MS. For four years, I volunteered at a bereavement center supporting children who had lost a parent or sibling, which remains one of the most meaningful things I have done. After that season of life, I built a 10-plus year career as an HR professional, which has made me organized, dependable, discreet, and highly attuned to communication and trust. I now have three children of my own, ages 10, 9, and 4, so I understand firsthand what families need and what parents are looking for in someone caring for their kids. I am happy to help beyond traditional babysitting as well, including running errands, light housework, and other tasks that make a parent’s day easier. Outside of work, I am very active. I love hiking, gardening, and spending time with my dogs and chickens. I am Girl Scout troop leader for my daughter’s troop. I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications and have experience volunteering as an EMT when I was younger. As a Girl Scout troop leader, my child abuse clearances are renewed every year, and as a volunteer with a crisis hotline, my criminal clearances are updated annually as well. I have also passed FBI fingerprinting. All records and references are available upon request. I would love to connect with your family!

Tabita M., Child Care in Reading, PA 19606 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Tabita! I’m a reliable and patient caregiver with a background in personal home care since 2023, including working closely with individuals with autism. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. In addition to my professional experience, I’m also a mother to a 16-year-old and have helped raise my 9-year-old bonus son who is on the autism spectrum. This has given me real-life experience, patience, and a deeper understanding of children’s individual needs. I’m someone families can depend on—I stay organized, communicate clearly, and handle situations with a calm and attentive approach. I take the time to adjust to each child’s personality and routine to provide the best care possible. I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications and have completed Pennsylvania clearance verification to work with minors, giving families peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands.
