Didounia $19 per hour for 1 child

I am a dependable, compassionate, kind and patient caregiver with several years of experience providing care to children, seniors, and families. I genuinely enjoy helping others and believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I am attentive, organized, and reliable, and I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, homework assistance, and creative learning. I also understand the importance of maintaining routines, preparing simple meals, and keeping a clean and organized home.

Rhys $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Rhys (they/them). I’m a nonbinary, neurodivergent, and artistic caregiver who brings patience, creativity, and grounded communication to every family. I spend a lot of time reading and in nature, and I love weaving those interests into activities that nurture curiosity, confidence, and emotional growth. I have CPR certification and full clearances for working in educational settings, and I will be a Certified Peer Specialist in the new year, which deepens my skills in emotional support, active listening, and community-centered care. My childcare experience includes supporting kids ages 2–10 in home, tutoring, and camp environments. I’m Wilson Fundations trained for reading instruction and enjoy helping children build literacy skills at their own pace. My background in art—including college coursework—enhances the creative activities I offer: arts and crafts, sensory projects, LEGO building, nature-based learning, and baking. I also teach emotional regulation, mindfulness, beginner swimming, and hands-on skills that help children feel capable and grounded. I’m reliable, communicative, and mindful, and I value inclusive care rooted in respect and understanding. I’m comfortable with meal prep, cooking, baking, and general household support, and I’m open to long-term nannying and house manager roles. As a pet sitter, I provide overnight care, routine walks, leash training, pets with attachment anxiety and medication management. I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and rabbits, and enjoy supporting training routines that help pets feel safe and confident. I am also available for non-medical senior care. Through caring for my grandmother long-term, I developed deep patience, empathy, and a strong sense of companionship and consistency. My goal is always to create a safe, welcoming, inclusive environment where children, pets, and seniors feel respected, understood, and cared for. I bring creativity, calm, and earth-conscious values to every home I support.

Abby $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m from West Philadelphia (born and raised) and I went to Penn for my Bachelors, so I know this area like the back of my hand! I’ve been babysitting school-age kids since I was a teenager, and I am adept at bedtime stories, outdoor play, tutoring, and cooking. For longer-term gigs, I like to encourage kids to try new things and build age-appropriate skills (with parents’ permission of course). I studied physics in college and in the fall, I will be going to Columbia to get my PhD in earth science, so if your kids need some tutoring or homework help in STEM, I’d be happy to provide it! Since I’m doing a gap year, my schedule is quite flexible, so please just let me know your needs!

Dilan $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I am looking for a full-time, long-term babysitting/nanny/nanyshare job. I have local references! I am 29 years old. I am a pathology technician, I worked in a hospital for 4 years. I have CPR+ First Aid certificates and training. In my country, i was working as a mediator between Au Pair candidates and host families at an au pair company.I was choosing Au Pairs suitable for babysitting. At the same time, I was listening to the requests and demands of the families. So I am familiar with all the communication, rules and procedures in the childcare and babysitting process. I am friendly, funny, understanding, strong worker, patient, not giving up easily in the face of difficulties, strong empathy and happy person! I am also a very clean and tidy person. My sign is Virgo!♍️ 🙂 I was previously working as an Aupair in New York and Virginia. Ages 2-3-6-9. After the Aupair program, I took care of a very sweet newborn baby in Fishtown, Philadelphia for about 6 months. We loved each other very much and became like family. Also i worked in Vancouver/Canada as an nanny. I have references from all my babysitting experiences. I worked in activities,parties for children during my student years and I love spending time with children. I am a very experienced. I have all the experience with different activities with the kids and baby care (feeding, preparing healty foods, changing diapers, sleeping, calming, massage, potty training). I am a meticulous person, so I pay extra attention to the cleanliness of my host kids and the hygiene of what they eat. I also like to help with light housework. I don't have a car yet. I have a lot of experience with newborns from my time working in hospitals, my time babysitting, and my own nieces and nephews. I am always very patient and friendly with children. The hardest part of this job is leaving them when the time comes. I don't see it as a job, spending time with them makes me happy. I have goals like improving my language skills in the US and then going to school. If you need babysitting during this time, you can reach me and my references! I am available around the end of October, November. I'm close to Fishtown. If you have any questions, I'd like to explain with detail, thank you if you read this far! 🫶🏿 I hope it will be a match where we can feel like a family! 🤞

"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."
