Afrika $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, nanny, and caregiver with over 17 years of experience supporting babies, children, and families. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for more than 100 families, providing expert newborn care, overnight support, feeding guidance, sleep routines, postpartum support, and dependable childcare. Today, I focus on providing premium, flexible childcare for families who need trusted, experienced support without committing to a full-time nanny. My services are ideal for: • Date nights • Drop-in care • Daytime support • Backup care when your regular caregiver is unavailable • Weekend care • Special events and appointments • Postpartum and newborn support • Overnight newborn care Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, returning to work, attending an event, or simply need a few hours to recharge, I provide reliable, high-quality care tailored to your family’s needs. My approach is calm, nurturing, and family-centered. I respect each family’s parenting style while creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where children feel secure and parents have complete peace of mind. As both an experienced childcare professional and a mother, I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to make every family’s experience seamless, supportive, and stress-free. I specialize in caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I look forward to building lasting relationships with families seeking compassionate, dependable, professional care. Excellent references available upon request.

I currently volunteer with Kindergarteners through third graders at Calvary Chapel of Delaware County. I also used to work for the YMCA as a school age site intern. Additionally, I’m in the process of potentially transferring into an elementary and middle school education major at University of Delaware.

Roazia $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello wonderful parents! My name is Roazia and I'm currently attending Deltech in the IT program. I am also a mother to two beautiful children, a boy (4 years old), and a girl (3 years old). I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. I have also taken care of my own 3 siblings for as long as I can remember. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even homework help. I have worked at a daycare with kids ages 6 months to 4 years old. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.

"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."
