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 !

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!

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!

We were very pleased, she was running around chasing out boys (1 and 3) as soon as she got in the door. Asked lots of questions so as to not bother us during the night. Thank you!

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’m a evening and overnight caregiver excited to work part time with your family! I love kids and getting involved in what kids are doing - cuddling sleepy newborns, playing house, and making pillow forts are just a few of those activities. I’m passionate about helping kids grow. I’m a University of Delaware graduate and former social worker. About my experience as a caregiver: -Newborn Care Specialist (formerly called a night nurse) -I’ve been a first caregiver outside of family members for many families -12 years of experience -I have experience with twins -I have experience with children with a variety of differing needs (speech delays, Autism, OCD, ADHD, nightmares, separation anxiety, keeping track of hearing aids) -I’m comfortable with furry pets and small amphibians but not with snakes, spiders, or birds -I am vaccinated against covid, flu, TDaP (covers whooping cough), along with all other typical vaccines My preferences with a family: -Consistent and open communication -Planning via text or messaging -I respect your screen time routines but I prefer low or no screen time The obvious: -I will arrive and stay sober to watch your child (this includes not consuming nicotine or vaping) -I won’t eat your food -I will be on time -I will respect your rules and routines -I will speak to your child with respect and kindness -Your child is my main focus We might not be a great match if… -You need someone available last minute -You practice physical discipline -You yell at service providers -You criminally endanger children, housemates, or visitors Feel free to run a background check! You’ll find a couple of traffic violations (e.g. parking tickets) and nothing else. I have excellent references that are available upon request. Thanks!

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.

Hi! My name is Decontee, I am currently a junior at Kutztown University, majoring in Elementary Education. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers. During school breaks, I work at a daycare. I also tutor occasionally as well. I am available on Friday evenings, weekends, and college holiday breaks (thanksgiving, winter break, etc). When I’m not working or in school, I love to read and watch movies. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and would provide references and clearances if requested. Unfortunately, I am not comfortable with pets.
