Booked by 37 families in Cheyney, PA

hello Parents/Guardians, I'm 27 years old and I currently attend school for child psychology. I've been working with children for 10 years in different fields while gaining a lot of experience. I love being a caregiver because it gives me an opportunity to make a difference in the world rather it encouraging, helping, and motivating children to reach their potential, that's my main goal as a caregiver. hope to hear from you Kera

“We hired Kera to look after our 8-year-old after school, and we agreed to pay her the hourly rate she wanted ($19). She explained to us that "communication is really important to me," and she confirmed the night before she was scheduled to start that she would be at our 8-year-old's bus stop at the arranged time to pick him up. The next day, her first for us, she no-showed without texting, calling, or any communication at all. Consequently, when our 3rd grader was dropped off by the bus, he was alone, with no one to walk him home (across a busy road). Fortunately, a kindly neighbor saw this and walked him across the street and to our house, where he let himself in. We texted Kera, called her, and wrote her through the Urban Sitters app. Heard NOTHING. She completely ghosted us. Do not hire this person under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!”

Booked by 8 families in Cheyney, 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,

"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."

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)."
