Annie S., Nanny in Thornton, PA 19373 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Annie and I’m 21 years old. I currently live in Pearland Tx but I’m originally from Massachusetts. Working with kids has always been a passion for me, I grew up around a lot of little cousins and I always enjoyed taking care of them so now I’ve found myself making a career out of it! I have 8+ years of experience working with kids, 4 years of professional childcare. I was a full time nanny for 2 years, for three children aged 1, 4, and 6 years old. For two summers in a row, I was an aid at a special education summer school, as well as an aid during the school year. Most recently, I’ve been a registered behavior technician at Action Behavior Centers giving ABA therapy to children with autism. I primarily have the most experience with children aged 1-6 years old. I have my own vehicle and I am CPR certified as well. I can help with transportation, special needs care, potty routines, meals, activities, outdoor play, educational play, light housekeeping, travel, etc.! I’m looking for a babysitting job so I’d love to chat!

Debbie P., Nanny in Thornton, PA 19373 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.

Debbie is FANTASTIC and the perfect fit for our family! She didn't hesitate to jump right in when meeting the kids to talk and play with them. We immediately trusted her, and our dog loves her as well. She is engaging, charismatic, and great with communication. Thanks Debbie and SitterCity for connecting us!

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.

Scout P., Nanny in Thornton, PA 19373 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi I'm Scout! I recently graduated from California Lutheran University where I majored in psychology, with a plan to pursue a career centered around kids in the field of psychology. I previously worked with a couple of families consistently for the past four years, and developed close relationships with them! I would be happy to pass over their information for a reference. I am now moving to Pennsylvania for school, where I am attending Bryn Mawr’s Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research in the fall. Some things about me are that I'm close with my family and my extended family, I have two younger siblings and a lot of little cousins who I love spending time with! In my free time I also love reading, and spending time with my friends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and doing activities like little crafts or playing games, and just making things fun! I have experience babysitting kids of all ages, as well as experience in school settings and summer camps! I'm always very kind, caring, rational, attentive, and patient. I would ensure the safety of your kids while also making sure they're having fun! I do have a car, and am an experienced driver, so I would be happy to pick kids up from school or take them to activities. I would love to get to know you and your kids and your family! I am going to be in the Bryn Mawr area beginning this September and I would love to talk to anyone looking help in that area!

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.
