A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mikaylah, I’m 21 years old, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who truly loves working with children. I come from a large family with 10+ siblings, and I have experience caring for my 6 nieces and 4 nephews from infancy through childhood. I’ve helped with feeding, changing diapers, bathing, bedtime routines, homework, learning, playtime, and keeping children safe and comfortable.

I’m comfortable caring for infants and children of different ages and understand that every child has their own personality, needs, and routine. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel loved and supported.

I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, homework assistance, and keeping the children’s spaces clean. Most importantly, I’m someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and takes caring for children seriously. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and reliable nanny for your family!

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Taylor and I recently graduated from a Master's program and moved back to the Philadelphia area. I am looking for a full-time nannying job for the time being until I start my PhD a year from now in the fall of 2027. I have one year of nannying experience working as an au pair in Italy after I graduated from college. During that time, I mainly cared for a 2-year-old boy named Leo and provided other household support to his mother, who worked from home. I also helped care for her two older children, Matteo (8) and Giorgia (10). Additionally, I have 5 nieces and nephews from the ages of 4 to 14 who I have been babysitting since I was a teenager, including while they were infants. I am super excited to find a good fit and get to work!

A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Ketellen. I’m from Brazil and I have a degree in Physical Education. I’ve worked in schools with children, teaching sports and ballet, and for the past two years I’ve been working as an au pair for the same family here in the U.S., caring for three children between the ages of 1 and 6.

During this time, I’ve supported them through key developmental stages, like potty training, learning to speak, preparing for preschool, and building independence through daily routines. I love creating fun, active, and creative schedules that match each child’s personality and age.

I have my own car, I’m CPR certified, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the child. I’m also very organized, responsible, and love creating a positive and safe environment for kids to grow.

I’m currently looking for a long-term, full-time nanny position, and I’m available to start on August 11th. I’d love to find a family where I can be a reliable and caring support.
