Finding someone you trust with your children shouldn’t feel stressful it should feel reassuring. I’m a responsible and enthusiastic 16-year-old babysitter who brings energy, patience, and a natural connection with kids. Being closer in age means I’m able to relate easily, keep children engaged, and make babysitting genuinely fun while still following routines and rules set by parents. Whether it’s homework help, creative play, or calm bedtime routines, I take my role seriously and treat every family with care and respect. My goal is simple: to keep your kids safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Philadelphia for work.
