Natalia D., Child Care in West Chester, PA 19382 with 5 years of paid experience

My name is Natalia, I’m 28 years old. My contact phone number: (971) 425 9318 ☺️ I bring over five years of extensive experience working with children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. I am deeply passionate about working with children and find great joy in closely observing and supporting their development. In my home country, Brazil, I studied to become a teacher and specialized in Special Education. This academic background, coupled with my practical experience, has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to cater to children's diverse needs effectively. Since moving to the United States, I have accumulated over two years of experience working with children of various ages and managing multiple children simultaneously. This experience has further honed my ability to handle different situations with ease and adaptability. I pride myself on being flexible, patient, and capable of managing challenging situations calmly and efficiently. I am a reliable and attentive caregiver who prioritizes the safety and well-being of the children under my care. My approach is always centered on providing a secure, nurturing environment where children can thrive. I am proactive in engaging children in activities that stimulate their growth and development, ensuring they are always engaged and learning. My dedication, responsibility, flexibility, patience, and active involvement with children make me an excellent candidate for your babysitting needs. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences align with your expectations.

We love Natalia! My girls can be anxious with babysitters but ask for Natalia because they have so much fun with her (bonus points because she’s not only active and engaged, but safe and thoughtful too!) Feel very lucky we found her and only wish we could use her more often!

Clara M., Child Care in West Chester, PA 19382 with 9 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Clara, and I am a 26 year-old Registered Nurse (RN) in Pediatrics. I received my first BS in Psychology at Haverford College in 2022, and went back to school for an accelerated BS in Nursing at Villanova University in 2023-2024. I am currently working full-time in Pediatrics in the hospital. :) I have nearly 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience in both the private home-care and professional academic sectors, and have been so fortunate to amass an incredible circle of clients that have followed me through many years and much growth. I love this work and I feel incredibly excited and blessed to be able to expand my experience and passion into the healthcare sector. I am still working regularly for many of my long-time clients — and even with nursing my full-time job, I am still excited and motivated to continue my "home" jobs and enjoy a change of pace from the rigor of the hospital setting. While I am not currently able to accept any full-time or regular-recurring new clients, due to my full-time schedule at the hospital, I would be glad to chat regarding occasional babysitting needs and opportunities for date nights, weekends, holidays, etc. I am still open to taking clients on in this capacity, and would be glad to connect on this front!! :) (Please note: due to my years of experience and my RN licensure, I can assure you that I will provide a high tier of attentive, customized, educated care for your children of all ages and unique intricacies. As such, my starting rate at this time is now $28/hr. Please feel free to send me a message if you would like to discuss my scale for multiple children and inquire about options. Thank you so much for your understanding in advance).

Clara is wonderful! She’s always on time and very sweet. She’s great with our son and was really put to the test when he became stomach sick while under her care. She was quick to give us an update and remained calm and took such great care comforting him ❤️ We would definitely recommend her !

Izzy is a kind and compassionate babysitter whom our girls love! She is always punctual and communicative throughout the night. She takes great care of our girls and leaves our home in better shape than we left it. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who will play with their children and keep them entertained for hours!

Debbie P., Child Care in West Chester, PA 19382 with 22 years of paid experience

I have 20+ years experience working in Pediatrics. I work full time at PennMedicine and my children are grown. I would love to share my expertise and experience working with infants (including premies and twins), preschool age, school age, teens/tweens, and children with special needs. I have degrees in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. I specialize in social/emotional development and helping build coping skills in children. I used babysitters while my children were young. I know how hard it is to find a quality caregiver that you can trust and are spending meaningful time with your children. Dog lover.

I cannot recommend Dailyn enough!! She watched our 4 month old for 2 days during a family wedding. It was our first time really being away from our daughter. She came the night before the wedding to learn the bedtime routine. She actually took detailed notes! The day of the wedding, she was extremely communicative and kept us at ease all night. Our daughter even woke up unexpectedly at one point and Dailyn’s instincts were spot on. She got her back to sleep with no coaching from us and the best part was every time we checked in, our daughter looked like she was having a great time! Dailyn is extremely responsible and just a great person. We hope to use her again soon in the future!

Leah babysat my kids, aged 12 and 7, for two weeks over the summer. She was with them every weekday for between 4 and 8 hours, and managed to keep them entertained and off their computer screens -- which is something of a miracle! She was very good at playing board games, drawing with them and taking them on short outings. Despite the fact that my 12-year-old son and my 7-year-old daughter have very different personalities, she managed to keep them both happy. She is a compassionate person who understands kids, and she is organized and competent.

Georgette B., Child Care in West Chester, PA 19382 with 10 years of paid experience

I am a proud mother of two beautiful wonderful children. My son will be heading to college in the fall and my daughter is 16. I am a recently widowed/displaced homemaker seeking employment close to the West Chester area school district so my daughter can graduate high school with her friends. Ideally I would like a long-term position with one family. I am currently employed for the 2015-2016 school year with several families Monday through Thursday. I am drawn to early childhood. I enjoy engaging newborns through age five in play,music and physical and educational activities.. With older school age children I find myself getting involved at their request. IE: shooting baskets and playing board games. Prior to my marriage I worked as a preschool assistant and independent caregiver/Nanny. Your children's sense of security, love and respect is of upmost importance. People constantly comment on how patient I am and how children are drawn to and feel comfortable with me immediately. My nieces and nephews adore me (I help their parents frequently) and I believe your children could too.

We were going to be in a unique situation where I (wife) was going to go on a week long business trip and the husband was going to work from home with the baby. Since the one year old baby was still breastfeeding, we had some concern as to whether the baby would adjust to this sudden wean off, in addition to mommy not being there for an entire week. Georgette came to the rescue and took care of the baby during the 9-to-6 working hours while my husband worked. Although the baby looked for mommy for the first two days, Georgette cared very well for the baby with songs, story telling and other plays. During that week, the baby learned how to sleep by herself without breastfeeding (first time ever), eat a whole lot more solid food, and sleep straight for 7 hours (first time ever). The baby was generally happy throughout Georgette's care during the week and my husband was able to focus on his work. Georgette even took care of some of the houseworks which made life very easy for us. We definitely recommend Georgette and will be using her again and again.

Samantha was wonderful with our 2 young boys. She was even able to put them to bed, which is a feat! The boys were asking for her the next day, which is a sign of what a great experience they had with her too! I am looking forward to continuing to work with Samantha.
