Hi, my name is Alexandra, and I'm Ecuadorian. Although I speak limited English, I'm willing to communicate using a translator to ensure I can express myself effectively. I am a charismatic, empathetic, and responsible person with a great passion for childcare. As a mother of two, I have developed the patience and understanding necessary to meet the needs of the little ones. I characterize myself as a very active, creative person with a great ability to adapt to new situations. I have experience in childcare, including: - Early stimulation: I worked with children from birth to preschool, helping them develop their motor, cognitive, and emotional skills. - Directed tasks: I planned and executed educational and recreational activities for children of different ages, helping them develop their skills and knowledge. - Creative Activities: I foster children's creativity and imagination through activities such as painting, drawing, music, and dance. I am looking for a family who needs my services as a nanny or babysitter. I am willing to offer: - Personalized care and attention: I will ensure that each child receives the attention and care they need, based on their individual needs and preferences. - Educational and recreational activities: I will plan and implement activities that encourage learning and fun, such as games, crafts, storytelling, and outdoor activities. - Support with daily tasks: I will help with daily tasks such as meal preparation, bathing, dressing, and bedtime.

Ciara $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Ciara, and I am excited to express my interest in being your nanny and becoming apart of the family! I have been a nanny for over 3–4 years, caring for children from newborns to toddlers, and I genuinely love what I do. My experience has allowed me to develop strong skills in child development, potty training, creating structured routines, and fostering nurturing, safe, and fun environments for children. One of my favorite experiences was watching a little girl grow from a 3-month-old into a confident 2-year-old. Being part of her milestones, from learning to walk and speak to potty training, was incredibly rewarding. I continue to check in on the children I’ve cared for because the bonds I build with them are deeper than just work—they feel like family. I am extremely reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children. References are absolutely no problem—I am happy to provide them at any time. I am also very comfortable caring for multiple children of different ages, planning engaging, age-appropriate activities, and ensuring children feel loved and supported every day. I am passionate about making a positive impact in children’s lives while supporting families in their daily routines.

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!

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.

"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."
