A little bit about me

I have a few years of hands-on childcare experience, primarily taking care of my two nieces (now 6 and 8), which included everything from school drop-offs and meal prep to playtime and bedtime routines. I’ve also regularly babysat for neighbors, looking after kids of various ages. I'm comfortable managing multiple children at once, keeping them entertained, and ensuring they’re safe and happy. I have a reliable, safe car that can be used for any needs. I am open to full-time or last-minute babysitting requests! Based in Fairmount, I can easily travel throughout the city and to the suburbs.

A little bit about me

I am a second-year part-time college student with a flexible schedule. I have experience working with kids ages 0-5 and those with special needs. I have a lot of patience with children and I can help with all their needs like meals, cleaning, and bedtime. I have high energy and am able to keep up with young children. I have a pretty open schedule: Monday, Wednesday and Sunday mornings are when I am unavailable. My favorite sitter activity is taking them to the park or somewhere outdoors. And when the weather tells us so indoors arts and crafts and reading are my specialty. I own a car, with a car seat, and can drive the children anywhere they need within the Philadelphia area.
