Monica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Monica, and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic babysitter with experience working with children of different ages. I have worked as a camp counselor and plan to major in Early Childhood Education because I genuinely love helping kids learn, have fun, and feel safe. I’m patient, creative, and great at keeping children entertained with games, crafts, outdoor activities, and movie nights while also making sure they follow routines and stay safe. I’m dependable, easy to communicate with, and always try to create a positive and comfortable environment for both kids and parents.

Bianca $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bianca, and I’m a sophomore at Thomas Jefferson University. I’ve always loved being around children and caring for them, so babysitting has always felt very natural to me. As the oldest daughter in my family, I’ve had years of experience caring for my two younger sisters since they were babies. I’ve also cared for children in my family and for close family friends, from babies and toddlers to older children. I would describe myself as patient, caring, understanding, responsible, and fun! I love keeping kids entertained, whether that’s playing games, doing activities, helping with homework, going outside, or simply spending time together. I also understand that every child is different, so I’m always willing to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m happy to help with things beyond childcare as well, such as preparing meals, light tidying, running errands, and helping with homework. Most importantly, I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are safe, cared for, and having a good time while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on!

Azizah $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a 25 year experienced childcare provider my journey goes a little like this... Having just two years of professional experience in infant care, my nurturing and compassionate nature has been shaped by both my work and my own journey as a mother, giving me deep familiarity with the early stages of infancy and the calm, attentive care they require. Toddlers are one of my favorite age groups thanks to their natural curiosity and wonder, and I’ve spent approximately five years supporting their growth through potty training, imaginative play, and age-appropriate independence. I also have eight years of experience working with preschoolers, whose similar sense of exploration allows me to bring the same enthusiasm and developmental support to their learning. The largest portion of my background—about twelve years—has been dedicated to school-aged children, where I’ve helped emerging readers build literacy skills and guided middle schoolers in developing confidence and purpose. Across all age groups, these experiences have strengthened my resilience, adaptability, and patience, which I bring to every child and every moment of care. I’m an extrovert through and through—I love to laugh and truly am a kid at heart! By kid, I mean I don’t mind getting messy, playing ninja, singing Disney songs at the top of my lungs, having spontaneous dance parties, and cracking (and laughing at) endless knock-knock jokes. As both a former educator and a mom, I’ve mastered the art of balancing firmness with fairness—always leading with respect, understanding, and a whole lot of heart.

"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)."
