Hi! My name is Abby and I am 20 years old. With 8 years of babysitting experience, I genuinely love working with kids and always prioritize their safety and fun! I'm currently a junior at the University of Delaware, studying psychology, which further fuels my passion for understanding and engaging with children. I have been a lifeguard at Jungle Jim’s water park and have taken many babysitting and CPR training courses so I know what to do in those situations to keep your child safe as well.

“Abby is my daughter and I would highly recommend her as a babysitter/caregiver. Abby is a natural when it comes to children. Abby has been CPR certified and babysitter certified in the past and is working toward recertification. Abby was a lifeguard at Jungle Jims Water Park and worked as a swim instructor at Goldfish swim school. Abby has babysat my friend’s children and children that live in the neighborhood.

Booked by 3 families in Thornton, PA

Hi - My name is Aaliyah, but my preferred name is Ashanti. I am offering childcare and seniorcare services. I am the oldest child of 5. I have 2 children of my own. My daughters are 6 and 1. I enjoy doing everything with children; cooking, baking, crafts, homework, reading and so much more. I have been doing this from about 17 years old and it is something I enjoy. I have also taken care of senior citizens ranging from ages 70 - 90. I do not have a drivers license, but I can help with errands throught uber or public transportation. I am a non-smoker.

“Ms. Aaliyah is an amazing baby sitter. She took care of my 6 month old until she was 1 year old. I had to work a lot & she made everything so easy for me. I know my daughter was safe and well taken care of. I hope she continues to do this. She is amazing and will absolutely bless another family!”

Riley $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With four years of experience caring for up to three children, I have developed a creative and imaginative approach to keeping kids engaged. I am equally comfortable leading outdoor sports and physical games as I am settling in for board games and puzzles. My background includes First Aid Training and CPR Training, ensuring your little ones remain safe while we explore. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision during pool time. I prioritize your family's preferences by following your lead on household rules and your chosen method for daily communication. I am also happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive, positive presence in your children's lives.

Chelsey $25 per hour for 1 child

I am 26 year's old and have been working with kids I was 18. I have my bachelor's in Child development and I am CPR/First Aid certified. I am also working on taking newborn care specialist courses. I will be available as a full-time nanny beginning at the start of June. I am looking for something long-term and need to be paid legally (preferably through a payroll company like Home pay.) I enjoy tailoring weekly plans with the kids around a theme they are interested in when possible and love taking them on adventures/trips around the area, particularly ones that tie in worn our theme of the week. I will be getting married in Oct 2025 and am very excited. My fiancé and I have lived in since 2020 and we have 2 dogs, an almost 4-year-old Shih Tzu named Archie, and a miniature poodle we just adopted who is 6 months old and is named Willow.

"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."
