$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 83 families in Lansdowne, PA

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!

Booked by 7 families in Lansdowne, PA

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+

Booked by 22 families in Lansdowne, PA

Hi everyone! My name is Arielle! I am 28 years old and I work full time as a flight attendant based out of PHL. Originally from New Jersey, but I’ve lived in Florida a majority of my life working for the theme parks in the Orlando area (both Seaworld and Universal) and spent time as a theme park nanny! I’ve been working with children since age 16 and have cared for a wide range of ages and multiples; although most of my experience has been with newborns and up to age 6, I have plenty of experience with ages 7+ and enjoy caring for them just as much! I have worked for Corporate Kids Events, a company that specializes in childcare for large events, working in the newborn to 2 year old age group. I nannied in 2017 for a few families and was part of a nanny share briefly! Some fun facts about me include I was on my high school swim team for 3 years and I am a middle child of 6 with the age gap between my youngest sibling and I being 17 years! Please reach out with any questions regarding my schedule; I am pretty flexible on weekdays and weekends but advanced notice is best for me. My Urbansitter availability is always up to date so please refer to that if you are interested in booking!

Booked by 3 families in Lansdowne, PA

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.
