Hi! I'm Zoe, a 20-year-old college student in Pittsburgh, PA. I absolutely adore working with babies and children, babysat since I was 13, and worked as a infant and toddler teacher for 3 years. I currently work on a hospital unit, and have a good combination of childcare and medical training. I am happy working with kids from newborn to elementary school, and am also able to provide care for kiddos with special or medical needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and have my own car. I love to cook, make art and music, and spend time outside

I am a senior at Baldwin High School and turning 17 in October. I am new to babysitting outside of family, but I'm good with children under 10! I help my cousin out with her 3 year old and 1 year old, I can change diapers/clothes, make food/bottles with instruction, bathe as needed, and put down for naps. I have my driver's license but share a car with my parents so I may not have a car at all times.

Patient Special needs experience Multiples experience. Mostly with infants and young aged toddlers. Physically fit and willing to do activities in or outside. Own transportation and valid drivers license. Have references upon request. My home is set up for childcare and I’m also willing to travel. Which ever preferred. I love kids. One of my favorite moments was getting a two year old with a medical disability the chance to ride her first amusement ride. I was able to accompany her on the ride with her oxygen tank. We were told no by workers at the carnival. Luckily I was able to locate the manager and find a ride safe enough for her to ride. I am also on nannylane and sittercity.
