A little bit about me
I’m from Philadelphia and have been working as a live-in nanny for the past four years. During that time I’ve had the opportunity to care for children of different ages, helping them learn, grow, and feel supported in a loving environment. I truly love being a nanny because it allows me to make a positive impact on a child’s daily life, whether it’s teaching new skills, creating fun routines, or simply being someone they can trust. Watching children develop confidence and joy through my care is what keeps me passionate and dedicated to what I do every day.

A little bit about me
I'm a 64 yr young nanny who's been doing this 20+ yrs. I currently reside in the Mt Airy area,but have done families in my area plus center city, south Philly and currently Roxbourgh. I drive but don't have a personal vehicle,but Septa pretty much takes me everywhere. I am a non smoker, and have no allergies to animals. I have worked with families with one child , others with 2 or 3, plus I've done nanny shares, and families with multiples. I myself have a grown son with Asperger's so am very comfortable with special needs children. My style of nannying is to take care of the family as a whole, because at the end of the day if you can focus as much time as possible on each other instead of worrying about the laundry, dishes, etc.... it is beneficial for everyone, especially the little ones. I believe too in a balance of one on One ,and when old enough independent time,of course with nanny supervision 😊I have amazing references,both professional and personal. Hope to hear from you soon

She has also helped encourage him with vocabulary and is very patient as he likes her to read and re-read lots of books. It’s been great having her apart of our care team!"

My name is Lainey Jester. have Nanny’d for three families with children ages 8 weeks to 20 months old. At Webster Child Care Center, I worked the infant/toddler room with ages from 2 months to 3 years old. I have worked with special needs children as well as all age groups through over a decade of babysitting experience. I have certifications with the American Red Cross for first aid/CPR/AED for infants/children/adults. I have taken college courses on early childhood development and education. I hope to resume school after moving to Philly. My philosophy in being a care giver for children is: patience, understanding, care leads to trust, and to play is to learn. Working with children and families has given me great purpose and joy and I look forward to working with parents to take care of their little ones.

A little bit about me
I'm Jess, I'm a licensed professional counselor who has been working with kids and families in West Philly for the last ten years as a nanny, school counselor, and family therapist. I've enjoyed supporting kids and families in their growth, having the opportunity to play, and the sweetness that spending time with children brings to my life. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to be a part of the emotional lives of children and families and shape them as my experiences with them shape me. I've enjoyed my roles as consultant, collaborator, and companion in the families I've worked with in the past and am interested in working with a family who values clear communication, gentleness, compassion, mutual respect, and playfulness.
In my free time I love to cook, travel, spend time outdoors, host big parties for my chosen family, volunteer for an herbal medicine mutual aid project, and sing made up songs to my cat.

"Jess cared for our kiddo from the time kiddo was 5 months old, until she was just about 18 months. The only reason our engagement ended was Covid, when the nanny share we were in dissolved due to lockdown.
Jess is very caring and calm, and it truly helped me as a new parent, to be able to hand my child off each workday morning knowing that she would be looking after my child. Jess always made sure to give us feedback from the day, which was super helpful, especially as we were navigating the change from bottles to solid food. My kiddo loved spending time with Jess (and her nanny share buddy).
Engagement and outdoor play is important, and Jess always made sure that both kids in the Nanny share had plenty of both.
Without hesitation, we recommend Jess to any parent seeking not just a caregiver, but a partner in nurturing their child's growth. If we ever decided to have another child there's no doubt in our minds – Jess would be our nanny in a heartbeat."
