I am CPR certified at the first-aid level and BLS (basic life support for healthcare providers) level.

I am available immediately and full-time. I am located in the philadelphia area and willing to commute and work evening hours. I have a valid driver’s license and love working with children. I also have a chocolate lab of my own who is 4, so I am experienced in dog care as well. I also have experience with potty-training beginning at an early age.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Imani, but everyone calls me Manii for short. I just wanted to start off by saying I genuinely love kids, although I don’t currently have any of my own.
I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember—starting out helping a neighbor as a favor. Up until last year, I wasn’t getting paid for it, but I decided to take something I love and turn it into a real opportunity. I also currently work as a 1-on-1 aide/para at Mastery Charter Schools, most recently at Shoemaker.
I truly treat every child I care for like they’re my own, and I love building real connections with them. I hope after reading this, you’ll consider me as a great match to be your nanny and support your children.
