A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Julia, and I live in Swarthmore, PA. I have worked with kids ages 2-9 throughout all of middle and high school, doing things such as making meals, pick up from school, changing diapers, etc. I have experience working with kids with special needs as well, every summer for the past 3 years I have worked at a camp out in Montana for kids with special needs. When not working with kids, I love singing and playing guitar, pilates, binge watching tv shows, playing with my dog, and doing hair and makeup. I love to be creative, and working with kids has been an amazing outlet for that. The people closest to me would describe me as loyal, creative, empathetic, nurturing, responsible, and compassionate. I have all of my clearances and planning on getting CPR and First Aid certified soon. I look forward to meeting your little ones and assisting your family with any needs!

A little bit about me

Hi I’m Sophie:) I’m a 21-year-old college student, currently going into my senior year at Barnard College of Columbia University. As I am actually a semester ahead with my credits and given the current circumstances of the world, I plan to complete my last semester of college online in the fall. This means that I would be available throughout the week and weekends and am highly flexible with scheduling! I’m a psychology major and actually plan to work with children in some capacity in the future and so the role of a nanny is very within my comfort zone. While I do not have much “nanny” experience specifically, I have worked in multiple classroom environments, mainly with fairly young children from varying behavioral, socioeconomic, and other backgrounds, and so definitely feel equipped to handle young kids. I’d be more than happy to answer any other questions you may have:) Thanks so much!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Condoleezza Dikenah. I'm a 20-year-old college student that loves kids. I'm the olders child so I grew up taking care of my siblings and later on started babysitting my little cousins, ages 5 and 3. Through these experiences, I've developed a strong sense of responsibility and patience, which I believe are essential qualities when working with children. I enjoy planning activities that are both fun and educational, fostering an environment where they can learn and grow.
