Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophie, and I am a compassionate, creative, and highly organized caregiver with a strong background in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus in Film Production from The Pennsylvania State University, where I honed my skills in clear communication, problem-solving, and multitasking, abilities that translate seamlessly into providing attentive, high-quality care for children. Currently, I work as an Assistant Teacher for two-year-olds at The Learning Experience, where I support lead teachers in delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that foster early learning and social-emotional growth. Working with toddlers has deepened my understanding of this critical stage of development, from language acquisition to building routines and encouraging independence. I take great joy in guiding little ones through their daily discoveries, using patience, positivity, and creative play to create a warm and structured environment. Prior to this role, I served as an Au Pair, where I provided dedicated care for two children (ages 6 and 8). In this position, I managed daily schedules, planned engaging outings and activities, and fostered a safe, supportive environment that encouraged cooperation and positive social development. I also communicated regularly with parents to ensure their goals and expectations were consistently met. My experience as a Substitute Teacher in the Manheim Township School District further deepened my understanding of child development across grade levels. Working with students from kindergarten through 12th grade, I adapted lesson plans on the spot, managed diverse classroom dynamics, and built instant rapport with students and staff alike. Earlier, as a Day Care Teacher at U-Gro Day Care, I designed and implemented age-appropriate lesson plans, used positive reinforcement to guide behavior, and adapted my teaching to meet the unique needs of every child. I am also CPR-certified and have all required child care clearances, ensuring that your family's safety and peace of mind are always my top priorities. Beyond my professional credentials, I bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for helping children learn and grow. Whether it's organizing fun and educational outings, assisting with homework, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I am committed to supporting each child's emotional and developmental well-being.

Flordina $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Flordina and I am currently a nursing student with childcare experience. I used to take care of children since I was 12 years old including newborns, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience with kids of different ages and made me love being around kids even more. I am patient, caring, and responsible, and I always do my best to make children feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I love spending time with kids and keeping them engaged with fun and creative activities like storytelling, drawing, games, talking with them, and keeping them entertained in a safe and positive environment. And also helping with homework, daily routines, cooking etc. I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer childcare services and am also willing to help with light household tasks when needed. I love kids and I enjoy helping families and creating a warm, loving, and trustworthy environment for the kids in my care.

Tatyana $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Tatyana and I have over 10 years of babysitting experience. I also help care for my niece and nephew, so I understand the patience, creativity, and attention kids of all ages need. I’m comfortable caring for children of any age, from infants to teens. Along with childcare, I enjoy cooking and can prepare meals the kids will love, clean up, and keep things organized around the house. I truly love animals — I have cats myself — so I’m happy to work with families who have pets. Parents can count on me to be responsible, caring, and dependable while making sure your children feel safe, supported, and happy.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
