Taylor C., Child Care in Scranton, PA 18504 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Taylor, a 25 year old senior nursing student with a strong healthcare background and years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns as young as 4 weeks old through school-aged children. Before nursing school, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant and I currently hold an active BLS certification through the American Heart Association. My healthcare experience has made me comfortable staying calm under pressure, recognizing when something isn’t right, and always putting safety first. I’ve spent years caring for children in both babysitting and family settings, and I’m also a stepmom to two children of my own. I understand that caring for kids is about much more than simply supervising them. I love keeping them engaged, playing with them, helping with routines, preparing meals and snacks, and creating an environment where they feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable caring for infants, including feeding, diaper changes, naps, and age appropriate play, as well as toddlers and older children. I’m also happy to help with homework, bedtime routines, light meal preparation, and tidying up after the kids. As I finish my nursing degree, I’m looking to connect with families who need someone dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely comfortable around children. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your kids, and I treat every child in my care with the same attention and kindness I would want for my own family.

Taylor and her sister (who came to help out) did a wonderful job taking care of 6 kids so the adults could enjoy a night out for dinner in Black Mountain. The kids all had a great time and we felt great leaving them in charge. Highly recommend Taylor for any babysitting needs!

Libbieann A., Child Care in Scranton, PA 18504 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Libbie-Ann Amitrano, and I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me—it's something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. Over the years, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with families by providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their little ones. My experience includes everything from preparing meals and helping with homework to planning creative activities, managing bedtime routines, and supporting developmental milestones. Whether it's playing games, reading stories, or just being a supportive and calm presence, I always strive to make each child feel heard, safe, and happy. I'm reliable, patient, and energetic, and I truly love what I do. I’d be happy to meet and see if I’m a good fit for your family!
