A little bit about me
My name is Rachel Franey! I am currently a sophomore at Penn State, University Park. I am looking for childcare positions for the summer and possibly during school breaks if I am wanted. I am from Exeter Township and will be living there for the summer. I have been employed at Wyomissing Kindercare since the summer of 2025, and I was a center staff member there for ages ranging from infants to 12 year olds. I have 3 years of experience as an aide for a preschool summer camp (unpaid/volunteer). Through my employment at Kindercare, I have a number of certifications including CPR. I also have experience babysitting for families, and previous job experience at other companies. If needed I can provide a formal resume upon request! I am experienced and comfortable with taking care of children with behavioral challenges. I love spending time with kids! I am patient, resourceful, kind, compassionate, understanding, and flexible.

A little bit about me
I am a mother to two kids myself, a 4 year old and 5 year old. I love working with children and have 3 to 4 years of professional experience working with them. Additionally, I have professional experience with special needs children.
I have my bachelor's in psychology and master's in school counseling. I have first aid and CPR training but need to update my card. Although I have these degrees, I became a stay at home mom to care for my own kids. I really do appreciate time with the little ones. I enjoy preparing them with home schooling type activities to stimulate their developing minds. However, I am now looking for a flexible part time job that can I do in the evenings. One that is rewarding and allows me to continue my passion is ideal.
Looking for temporary position to start ASAP but potentially end in early November. I have allergies to both cats and dogs, and several other things and would prefer the children be brought to my home because of this.

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in Reading, PA
Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in Reading, PA for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Short-Term Nanny?
A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.
Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in Reading, PA
A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.
Short-Term Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
- How quickly could you start?
- Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
- How would you get to know our routines quickly?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
