Hi! My name is Bona. I moved to Philly from Portland and come from a large family so I’m very used to being around children. I have previously worked as an after school teacher, a tutor and nannied for a variety of families from all backgrounds. When babysitting I usually enjoy doing arts and crafts, playing games such as hide and seek or sardines and going on adventures if the weather permits. I enjoy reading, finding new shows and very terribly baking/ trying out new recipes. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Bona was a great communicator, reliable, friendly, and fun and sweet with our son. She made us feel comfortable and safe. Thank you!”
Hi! I’m Odessa, a recent BFA Fine Arts graduate from Montclair State University, and I offer experienced, creative, and dependable childcare and pet care. I’m a Teaching Artist, who’s worked with children since 2021 across a wide range of ages. I’m currently a full-time K–3 tutor, supporting students with daily learning with age-appropriate activities. I’ve also worked as a full-time Co-Lead Preschool Teacher with toddlers and preschoolers, as well as a Lead Art Instructor and Art Assistant with children ages 3–17 through summer programs. These experiences have taught me how to adapt my approach to different ages, personalities, learning styles, and energy levels. I especially enjoy keeping children engaged through creative activities like painting, drawing, crafts, storytelling, educational games, and imaginative play. I’m also happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, support bedtime routines, and create a structured but fun environment. I value patience, clear communication, and making sure children feel comfortable, heard, and encouraged. My pet-care experience dates back to 2024, including mostly dog walking and recently house sitting. I’m comfortable handling feeding, walks 1–2 times daily, playtime, basic routines, and medication dispensing when instructions are provided. I’m comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I am unfortunately allergic to cats, so I’m unable to provide cat care. I’m currently available for part-time babysitting and dog sitting and would be happy to build a trusting relationship with your family. I may be new to UrbanSitter reviews, but I bring several years of hands-on childcare experience, teaching experience, and a genuine love for working with children and animals. Whether your family needs an afternoon babysitter, homework help, a creative playmate, or reliable dog care, I’d love the opportunity to help
“Gabby was honestly so good with my kids. My toddler, she can take a little while to warm up to new people, but Gabby was really patient with her and made her feel comfortable pretty quickly. My 5 year old had so much fun with her and he was still talking about her after she left lol. She kept me updated, handled both of them really well, and I never felt like I had to worry while I was away. Would definitely have her back!”
I am a proud mom of two beautiful daughters who are now 22 and 20 years old. Raising them gave me so much hands-on experience with children of all ages, and I absolutely loved every stage. I also have professional experience working in daycare settings, especially with infants and toddlers. I've cared for babies from a very young age, handling feeding, naps, diapering, and all the daily routines with patience and care. In addition, I've had the opportunity to support children with special needs through activities tailored to their abilities, and I really enjoy creating fun, engaging play-based activities that help kids learn and grow—whether it's sensory play, arts and crafts, music, outdoor time, or simple developmental games. I'm reliable, nurturing, and energetic, and I treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your family! Looking forward to hearing from you,
“Tara was prompt, took directions well and very pleasant. My kids really liked and enjoyed her.”
I currently work as a preschool and PRE-K teacher and am up-to-date with my CPR, First-aid and fire safety. I have Multiple early childhood education trainings and am in college for an early childhood degree. I enjoy teaching a lot and love watching the next generation of kids grow!
Hi! My name is Rivkah, and I work as an assistant teacher at CTA. I am currently studying forensic psychology and am deeply passionate about the field of psychology. I take pride in my skills, which I believe will enable me to understand and effectively work with children. I am certified in BLS and have received training in adult, child, and infant emergency care. I work with students aged 3-4, but I have been involved in childcare for various ages since I was 12. I love and am great with all animals, although I am best when it comes to dogs. I am currently on summer break and available to assist with any needs you may have. While I am comfortable with a wide range of services, I excel particularly with younger kids. As a teacher, one of my main responsibilities is to create projects that help children develop their skills and learn to express themselves. My work has provided me with extensive experience in meeting the unique needs of each child and finding what works best for them. I hope I can be of assistance! :)

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
