The city
Living in Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia pairs world-class medical institutions with deep American history and a genuine, every-neighborhood-has-personality grit. You can eat your way through the Italian Market, catch a game in South Philly, or stroll along the Schuylkill River Trail. The City of Brotherly Love blends big-city clinical opportunity with a surprisingly livable, down-to-earth feel for traveling nurses.

Who they are
You are deciding on home-based pediatric private duty, not a unit assignment. At Helping Hand Nurse, LLC you care for one child at a time in their home—PED cases that can include overnight blocks, evening 3:30p–11:30p shifts, weekday 8a–4p routes with school visits, or weekend evenings.

More about Helping Hand Nurse, LLC
The agency is a home health care employer (HQ listed in Bensalem) serving Philadelphia-area addresses such as Dimarco Drive (19154), Glenolden, West Norriton/Norristown, and New Cumberland. Scheduling is built to flex: part-time or full-time, as few or as many hours as you want, on either a 1099 or W2 path. LPN home-care postings state $30–$38/hr depending on experience. On W2, stated benefits include a flexible schedule, health insurance, vision, dental, life insurance, and a tablet; on 1099 you need your own EIN plus general liability and workers comp. You will need an LPN license, CPR, a clean background, and comfort with computerized documentation. Public feedback is thin but high on the scores that exist—a single Glassdoor 5.0 with full recommend rate, and a SimplyHired 5 from one review. Pay satisfaction is more mixed: half of a two-review sample said they were satisfied. That small sample is worth weighing beside the schedule control and 1:1 case work.
