Hi there! I'm a playwright/director and full time drama teacher at a public charter school in West Philly who enjoys babysitting on the side whenever possible. I have over 20 years of experience in childcare in various capacities, including as a former preschool teacher. Love kids of all ages - specialties include reading, socio-emotional development, creativity, art, and learning. Evenings only during the week, as I teach full time. Minimum bookings of four hours required. I do also require payment for the full amount of the original booking agreement, even if you come home early. I ask that families cover an uber/lyft home at the end of the night. I live in East Kensington. Rates listed are minimums and subject to change on a case by case basis if needed. If a booking is canceled with less than 24 hours' notice, at least 50% of the agreed upon payment is required.
Skye has been our #1 go-to sitter for our daughter since she was 3 months old. Our girl can be a little finicky when it comes to strangers, but with Skye she felt completely comfortable almost instantly. In addition to being very experienced, professional, and attentive, Skye genuinely engages with our daughter through play, creating an environment where she feels safe and understood. Skye is also a patient and calming presence, soothing our daughter through some of her worst teething meltdowns. Our daughter is always excited to see Skye, which gives us total peace of mind leaving her in Skye’s care.
