Sarah $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Sarah, a Drexel grad in Child & Family Psychology with experience as a behavior technician, nanny, and au pair. I’ve worked closely with children with autism, ADD, and Asperger’s, so I bring lots of patience, understanding, and structure. I’m bubbly, creative, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities, cooking, and learning through play. I’m great with routines, helping little ones feel safe and confident, and supporting busy households with pets and light home help too.

Amelia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amelia and I am a Sophomore at George Washington University! I offer child care, petsitting, and household services. I love babysitting and have been babysitting in some capacity since I was 17. The mind of a child is quite possibly the most imaginative and inquisitive thing that exists in the world and I love being a part, however small, in making sure young minds are able to flourish in a safe and welcoming world. I have taken care of children from toddler age to middle school age kids but I am willing and capable of taking care of children outside of that age range. In the past I have tutored, provided transportation, and lead crafts and games for the children I have cared for. As well as babysitting I am available to do household tasks including but not limited to running errands, cooking, and cleaning. Although I am most experienced with taking care of cats, I love meeting and taking care of any furry or scaly friends.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

Amy L., mom of one

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
