Hi, Im Iris and I've been working in the nanny field for 8 years now for kids nb-15yrs! I've internshipped as an assistant teacher, and daycare aid. I come from a huge family and am always surrounded by kids! I have ample experience in tending to multiple children at a time and for long periods of time. I have such a passion for children and it means a lot to be able to make a positive impact on the families I connect with. I have child abuse clearances, references, and a detailed outline of experiences available upon request.
My 18-month-old typically comes with me to daytime jobs.

Rates vary and are flexible
I am also a birth and postpartum doual with tarining via dona international!

I offer both in home care (at your location) and drop off care (at my home) in south philly near cc. 

In-home care starts at $26/hr.
Drop off ranges from $18-22/hr
Discount for nanny shares
I am currently open to part-time and full-time positions for either in-home or drop off!

She is good. We did a drop off at her place. She updated photos of my toddler to let us know how he was doing. We had good experience with her. 

Iris was a great help with our kids this summer! She’s very hands on with whatever activity they’re getting into and has built such a great connection with them. They are always so excited on days she comes in and this is especially true when she brings her daughter—who, as far as they’re concerned, is just there for a playdate! Having the extra hand made such a difference over the 3 months as made the move from our old home to our new one! We wish her the best of luck!

Truly cannot recommend Iris enough– well adaptive to change and overall great at getting my 3yo outside. Can't get over how great it is watching the girls entertain each other
My toddler loves feeling like a big girl helping with the baby, even though Iris's little is an independent tot herself lol 😊🩷🩷

Iris was great! She took care of my 11 month old son for a last minute need and it was such a relief. She brought her daughter who is close in age and the two of them had a blast hanging out all day. She was knowledgeable about routines and asked all the right questions to keep our little guy comfortable and entertained. 

Iris was very friendly and caring toward our children. We hired her for one night while we stayed in Philadelphia to attend a wedding. She had them in bed and sleeping on time and played with them. I would definitely hire her again!

Iris took care of my 9.5 month old after a pretty last minute request. She was timely, brought tons of toys, and was so great at making my little one feel at ease. She brought her own daughter who is just a couple months younger and it was cute seeing them interact. Iris was so attentive and I would definitely hire her again!

Iris is a wonderful babysitter! She is incredibly professional, flexible, and responsible. Our two school-age children had an amazing time with her. She is CPR certified as well, which helped us feel safe. We would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Iris was great with our 7 month old baby! She was always engaging him and was really mindful of helping him develop new developmentally appropriate skills. She also was a wizard at getting him to nap/sleep. She is also super nice and communicative! 

Iris jumped in for a couple days with my 8 month old and we were so happy she did. It was our son’s very first time being cared for by a non-family member so you can imagine he was upset, but Iris was a calm, soothing presence to help him through it. She was super helpful and very sweet with our little guy.

Iris watched our almost-2-year-old for a last minute emergency and was wonderful. Very professional and punctual, provided us with updates and pictures throughout the day, and was great with our daughter. Will definitely look to hire her again! 

Iris has been AMAZING with our two year old son. She is extremely polished, professional, and prompt. She has an incredibly calming presence and we trust her completely. I would hire her and again and again!

Iris has worked for our family since January, providing exceptional care for our infant twins (then 4 months old). She has been incredibly attentive to their needs, consistently engaging them in play, reading, singing, and providing a nurturing environment - all without relying on screens. When she arrives in the morning, both babies light up and squeak with joy. She has a calming demeanor, which is particularly valuable in the often chaotic environment of caring for multiples. Her ability to maintain a soothing atmosphere was a significant asset to our household, especially during the early infant months. 

As a working professional, Iris has exceptional communication skills, with timely and thorough responses that continued throughout her time with us. Given advance notice, Iris would accommodate schedule changes to the best of her ability, which made a HUGE difference in our ability to manage busy schedules. She has also offered to help find care coverage during her PTO days. 

The only reason we’re ending our time together is that *two* spots opened up at a local daycare at the same time - a rarity we’re not sure we’d get again if we deferred. 

We highly recommend Iris for her exceptional care, communication skills, and adaptability. Any family would be lucky to have her! 

Iris helped our family for a 6 week period of time initially,  then has helped since for random days as needed. She was easy to work with.  My boys (6, 3, and 2) were so comfortable around her. Iris kept them on our schedule for naps and meals. She would send updates throughout the day.  My boys would ask "Is Iris coming tomorrow?" because they enjoyed hanging out with her. She was prompt, reliable,  and genuinely cared for my boys. I highly recommend!

Iris did an amazing job watching our 2.5 month old while we had a date night in Philly. She was very kind, calm, and showed immense experience with newborns. We will absolutely use her again!

Iris was our Nanny (May-Sept M-F 8:30-4:30) to our 6m old until he started daycare. She was extremely attentive to him, his safety and his needs. She was incredible helping him hit milestones (hit early!) She was constantly reading, singing and working on milestones. She suggested great toys and learning tools at the appropriate times. She was always on-time, never called out (read that again!) and was very communicative. We highly recommend her! Reliable, friendly and caring! Just the best! 

Iris was knowledgeable and courteous. We felt completely comfortable leaving our twin infants with her. 

Iris was punctual and accommodating.  I asked her to meet my daughter prior to the scheduled date for sitting, so my daughter would feel comfortable.   On the scheduled sitting date, she made my daughter feel comfortable and cared for.   I would hire Iris again. 

Iris was incredible. She really came through for us in a pinch. She was professional, sweet and communicative. We would hire Iris again in an instant!! We are so grateful we were able to hire Iris with the amazing skills she possesses.

Iris was the first sitter I hired through this website and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. Prior to the interview, she sent me detailed information that honestly answered most of what I had planned to ask during the interview and included references. She was kind and attentive to my little ones from the moment she arrived and the next day my toddler was already asking when her new friend would be back to play :) Will definitely book her in the future

Iris is AMAZING. She was early. My son was happy and so am I. She read to him, played with him, and just gave him the overall best care. She kept in contact with me throughout the entire night and even sent pictures. I was late coming home and she stayed. I definitely will rehire her and recommend that the next person hires her. She sent me a very detailed resume and her references gave her outstanding reviews.
