A little bit about us…

Hey there! Just looking for a part time babysitter for the occasional night out. I am new to PA with no family or friends around. I do occasionally have an event in Philly that may run until midnight (I know, yuck, it’s late) so I would need someone to help get my little dude ready for bed and make sure he’s safe until I return home!

Little man is 7 and very much a fan of Minecraft, legos, talking or playing football, writing books, and playing Xbox! He’s really chill and very self sufficient, he just needs someone to keep him on schedule for dinner/shower/bedtime.


Heads up, we do have pets so if you’re allergic I totally understand not being a good fit!
