Sean $25 per hour for 1 child

I started my journey in childcare/teaching at age 19, when I was hired by the JCYS Lakeview Family Center as an Assistant Preschool Teacher for their 3-4 year old classroom. What followed was an incredible year of learning (for me and the students) that ignited my passion for empowering others through either teaching or intentional care. Since that time, I have gone on to teach students of all ages in a variety of arenas. I serve as a teaching artist for New York Shakespeare Exchange, teaching elementary/middle/high school students about literacy and writing skills through Shakespeare. I have also spent time teaching in Italy, using performance as a tool for personal expression and learning about managing emotions to students aged 6-17. I just moved to Philadelphia to support my fiancee as she grows her business (we make hand-poured candles). Outside of work, I play soccer and run marathons, I host card game/board game nights, and I am an avid motorsports enthusiast (driver and spectator). I am offering child care, senior care (non-medical), pet care, and household services. Happy to run errands or help with to-do's, however I can assist. The last thing I will add is that I am a professional actor. I lead with my creativity and imagination, especially in the education/childcare space. I believe in empowering students so they can grow into the best version of themselves. Can't wait to meet you all! -Sean

Lani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently a daycare teacher and have a genuine love for working with children. I'm also in college studying Psychology with the goal of becoming a Child Life Specialist! I have experience caring for children under the age of 5, including infants and toddlers. I'm a non-smoker and love going to playgrounds, taking walks, doing fun activities, and of course, getting sweet treats! I have my own car and a clean driving record. I'm also comfortable with pets. I'm open to overnight babysitting as well! I have all of my required clearances and am CPR, AED, and First Aid certified. I also know how to swim, so I'm comfortable taking children to the pool if that's something your family enjoys. I have experience working with children with special needs as well. I offer a blend of professional educational expertise and a warm, imaginative approach to childcare. would love the opportunity to meet your family and see if we're a good fit.

Booked by 7 families in Bala Cynwyd, PA

Hello. My name is Nakiyah. I am offering childcare services. A little background about me, I was born and raised in South philly, lover of poetry and biographies. Over the past few years I have been working with children caring for and stimulating their young minds. In my free time I love cooking, cleaning, and going on walks.I am patient, organized, efficient, and nurturing. As I enjoy my life journey I am always eager to learn new things and share what I know with others along the way. I have worked with 2 families (nanny) and they never hesitate to reach out when help is needed:) I love watching children grow and hit new milestones it warms my heart knowing I was apart of these steps. Also the love from both child and parents is always reassuring. Fun facts; I have a cat name Lilly. She’s special to me. I also recently became a dog mom. Her name is Mocha. She is a puppy and very playful! I am CPR certified for children and adults and IT trained. I can also can provide references :)

"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."

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
