Tyahn 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Philadelphia, PA

Hi Parents! I’m Tyahn. I’m a reliable and caring nanny looking for a full-time position. I have 7+ years of childcare experience with three families, plus daycare and youth program experience working with infants through school-age kids. I’m graduating with a degree in Communication Studies, and as I move into my career path, I’ve been looking to stay connected to working with kids since it’s something I’m very experienced in and genuinely enjoy. I enjoy supporting children with their daily routines, learning, and play, and I focus on creating a fun and safe environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, consistent, and hands-on, and I can also help with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. I’m flexible and looking for a long-term family to grow with. I can provide references from previous families upon request. I’m CPR and first aid certified and up to date on COVID-19 vaccination. Would love to connect!

“Tyahn is wonderful! She began babysitting for our 1 year old in August and quickly became our go-to. She's great with our daughter and super helpful when our baby is sleeping (e.g. getting things organized, prepping meals, etc.). You'd be lucky to have Tyahn work with your family!”

Hello. My name is Nakiyah. I am offering childcare services. A little background about me, I was born and raised in South philly, lover of poetry and biographies. Over the past few years I have been working with children caring for and stimulating their young minds. In my free time I love cooking, cleaning, and going on walks.I am patient, organized, efficient, and nurturing. As I enjoy my life journey I am always eager to learn new things and share what I know with others along the way. I have worked with 2 families (nanny) and they never hesitate to reach out when help is needed:) I love watching children grow and hit new milestones it warms my heart knowing I was apart of these steps. Also the love from both child and parents is always reassuring. Fun facts; I have a cat name Lilly. She’s special to me. I also recently became a dog mom. Her name is Mocha. She is a puppy and very playful! I am CPR certified for children and adults and IT trained. I can also can provide references :)

Booked by 1 family in Philadelphia, PA

Hi! My name is Astrid (she/her), and I'm from Santa Fe, New Mexico. I lived in North Carolina for 6 years, first for my undergraduate degree and later for my occupational therapy doctorate. As part of my OT training, I’ve been on rotations in Seattle and Baltimore over the last 6 months. I’m now in Philadelphia for my capstone project, and I am offering childcare and elder care services. I started babysitting as a teenager, and have had the privilege to meet the most wonderful, caring, and special families throughout my childcare experience. I started working with older adults in 2024, and I am beyond grateful for the time, stories, and joy I’ve been able to share across generations.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
