A little bit about me
Hi! I am a dependable, energetic, and caring sitter with open availability.
I'm a pre-nursing student with years of hands-on childcare experience. From family and neighbors to regular clients, I've always been the one people call when they need someone trustworthy and reliable.
I’m super flexible and ready to jump in wherever needed. I’ve helped with everything from school pick-ups and overnight care to outings, meals (I love to cook and bake!), homework, travel, and keeping daily routines running smoothly.
I also have experience house and pet sitting, so I’m very comfortable handling responsibilities beyond just childcare as well.
Every child and family is different, and I always try to adapt in a way that helps everyone feel comfortable, supported, and understood.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a virtual meet!

"Gianna has been a reliable and trusted part of our family for quite sometime. She has always been very consistent and punctual. Our kids and their friends love her and she fit right in immediately. She keeps them busy with new activities and even brings games for the kids to enjoy. We have trusted her with extended care when we are away and she goes above and beyond to make the transition comfortable each time. The house is always clean when we return and she even folds all of our 20 blankets! Our family has been so grateful to have her."

"Hi! Violet was an excellent babysitter for my 16 month old. She is responsible and is knowledgeable on child care. Her experience is shown, so sad to be moving and not need her anymore. She cooked and cleaned for us."

A little bit about me
I am an experienced early childhood educator and caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and special education. I have worked with children ranging from infancy through elementary age, including several years as a private toddler teacher and as a self-contained special education teacher.
My experience includes creating structured, nurturing routines; supporting early developmental milestones; planning engaging activities; and providing support based on each child’s needs. I am patient, calm, and consistent, and I prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to grow.
With a background in early childhood education, early childhood special education, and social work, I bring a thoughtful, compassionate, and developmentally informed approach to caregiving. I value open communication with families, reliability, and professionalism, and I take pride in being a dependable, positive presence in a child’s daily life.

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Leslie! I have been working with children for over four years in a variety of roles, including as a teacher’s assistant, special education instructional aide, preschool paraprofessional, and nanny. I have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school, which has given me the opportunity to work with many different ages, personalities, and developmental stages. I have worked in kindergarten classrooms, supported TK–1st grade students with special needs, worked with children ages 2–5 in a preschool setting, and provided one-on-one care as a nanny for infants and toddlers. I truly love working with children and being someone they can feel safe, comfortable, and happy around. I’m also continuing my education in Child Development, and I hope to continue building a career centered around working with children.

A little bit about me
Hey, my name is John Occhipinti! I’m 27 years old, and I’m from Scranton, PA, and I have 4 amazing sisters! Besides helping my dad move couches, shovel sidewalks and mow lawns, my first official job was at my mom’s daycare when I was around 14! I truly loved it, and like helping raise my little sister, I found joy in helping the kids with daily milestones. The kids’ ages ranged from 0-6, and I did everything the other workers did, including changing diapers, and bottle feeding the babies! Although, my chosen career profession(s) have never been childcare orientated, I’ve learned how to code, I design websites, I have my drone license as well, and I play music, and have acted in multiple movies (check out “The Nomads” on Amazon prime!) I ended up becoming what I know note as a “Manny” after being the DogWalker for an amazing family in my town. Although, it’s been the best 3 years of my life. It is time for me to go and adventure elsewhere, maybe I can help with your kids along the way!

A little bit about me
I'm originally from Brazil, but I've been living abroad for the past 7 years. I study medicine in Russia, therefore I'm trained in CPR and First Aid and I've been doing my practical training at a children's hospital in Brazil. For personal reasons I decided to take a gap year and try new things, that's why I'm here. I speak fluently English and Portuguese, I can communicate and understand well Italian, French and Spanish, and I speak and understand basic Russian, Ukrainian and German. I'm a little bit of a nerd, I love to read, play board games, play sports. I've studied music for many years even though I'm out of practice and I was a dance teacher for 8 years. I'm very patient, have a lot of energy, I cook and eat healthy food and I fully understand and know how to handle food allergies.
