Hey! Nice to meet you :) My name is Ronell. I am from The Netherlands and I speak Dutch, English is my second language. After 2 years of being an au pair I will be moving back to my boyfriend in Philadelphia in march. Therefore I am looking for a part- time job. I come from a big family, where I would babysit my nephews occasionally. In America I have been living with 2 lovely families in Philadelphia and San Francisco. With kids aged between 7 months old to 7 years old. I consider my self active, creative, patient, observant and caring. A master in building forts, the best in hide and seek and I love doing arts and crafts. All while we listen to The Eagles and Bob Marley. I hope to meet you soon :)
Hi - My name is Sharon and I am seeking a part time child care position within 25 mins. of home in North Wilmington DE. I live in the artist community of Arden. I'm a lifelong caregiver/nanny/mother, a music director/professional musician and a private music teacher. My experience in caregiving is extensive and I love kids, with a particular soft spot for babies. I was last certified in CPR/AED and first aid in 2018 and would be willing to recertify if requested. My most recent employer is a wonderful family in Newark, DE. I cared for their son from when he was 2 1/2 mos. old to 4 years old when he started school full time. We still spend at least one day a month together - they are family. This platform is new to me so no reviews here yet; I have excellent recommendations and reviews on care.com and Gigsalad.com under my name. Some of my strengths include patience, humor, dependability and experience. I also have professional qualifications in the arts (writing, music - both performance and teaching) with significant skills in drawing and photography. Your child will benefit from games, art, movement, time in nature, music, and more. I believe in creating structure, lovingly set and maintained, for the stable nurturing environment this creates for a child. My presence is closer to an energetically and mentally young grandparent than a college student. Working my entire life in the arts and with young children has gifted me with a sense of joy, curiosity and fun as well as the dependability and experience needed to care for your child. My hope is that being in my 60's is not held against me, as I am not your average sixties child. I look forward to hearing from you, Sharon
Hi! I'm a teen college student studying nursing with a strong passion for caregiving and working with children. I have experience working in a daycare where I helped supervise children, supported daily routines, and created a safe, positive environment. I also completed a nursing program at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where I gained hands-on exposure to patient care and learned professionalism, teamwork, and the importance of compassionate care. I am CPR certified, Stop the Bleed certified, and ServSafe certified, which has trained me in emergency response, safety, and maintaining clean environments. I will be in the Philadelphia and Upper Darby area from May-August and am also looking for jobs during my winter break. I will be in the East Stroudsburg area during the college academic year. I am responsible, reliable, and passionate about working in care-focused environments where I can support others and continue building my experience.
I worked as a Child and Youth Program Assistant at Ramstein Air Force Base for a year, where I provided care, supervision, and developmental support for children of various ages. My responsibilities included leading activities tailored to different age groups, ensuring a safe and engaging environment, and maintaining positive communication with parents. Beyond my professional experience, I have a natural ability to connect with others, especially in caregiving roles. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, which allows me to meet the unique needs of children, seniors, or pets. My background in child development, combined with strong organizational skills and a nurturing personality, makes me a great caregiver. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own dog, ensuring she gets proper attention, exercise, and care. My time in the military also taught me discipline, responsibility, and crisis management—skills that translate well into caregiving roles.
My name is Kate, and I am a 34-year-old elementary school teacher living in South Philly. I have my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and I have been teaching for 12 years. I have worked with numerous grade levels (K, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7th) in Pennsylvania and South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in South Philly. Beyond that, I was previously a babysitter for years while in college, a swim instructor and life guard, and I still hold my CPR/AED certification. I also have up-to-date PA Child Abuse clearances and FBI clearances due to working for the School District. My schedule has me home by 3:00 p.m. every day, and I would love to fill some time helping out some families in the area with any pet, house, or babysitting needs! I am also available to tutor, in addition to these services. In my "spare" time, I love to work out, spend time with my fur babies, and read, read, read! If you feel like I would be a good fit for your needs, I would love to schedule a time to meet up and see if we can work something out. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Kathryn was great! Very communicative and flexible. Our daughter had a blast and will definitely rehire! A+”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
