Julia $29 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I’m Julia, a philosophy, politics, & economics student at Swarthmore College. Childcare is one of my biggest passions — along with bouldering, mountaineering, reading, baking, and live music. I’ve been working in childcare for nearly six years now, for all ages from infants to teenagers. My experience includes childcare for parties and events and working as a sleepaway camp counselor as the sole caretaker of seven girls (ages 9-10 and 13-14). My experience also includes working with special needs kids, tutoring and academic help, lots of time with infants and toddlers, and a specialty in outdoor education! I’m Red Cross First Aid & CPR certified and NOLS Wilderness First Aid Certified, and I have my own car. I can’t wait to meet your family!

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 32 families in Essington, PA

Hello families! I'm an experienced professional nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience and a Bachelor of Science in Biobehavioral Health. I specialize in caring for infants and young children and am comfortable managing full-day routines including feeding, naps, developmental play, and outings. I bring a calm, attentive presence and am confident supporting children's emotional and developmental needs during the workday. I've worked with busy professionals and understand the importance of reliability, consistency, and being able to take full responsibility while parents are working. I'm currently seeking a consistent 30+ hours/week position and am open to roles within a ~30-minute commute of West Philadelphia, including Center City. I’m also open to occasional or part time work as my schedule permits. Happy to connect and see if it's a good fit!

“Nada and our two little boys clicked instantly. Her calm, kind nature perfectly balanced their endless energy. She has a real talent for finding activities that keep both boys happily engaged at the same time, despite their age difference and very different interests. Nada is reliable, punctual, proactive, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She made us feel completely at ease, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared for our children. We truly loved having her with our family and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional nanny or babysitter.”

"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."
