Booked by 3 families in Downingtown, PA

Hi - My name is Aaliyah, but my preferred name is Ashanti. I am offering childcare and seniorcare services. I am the oldest child of 5. I have 2 children of my own. My daughters are 6 and 1. I enjoy doing everything with children; cooking, baking, crafts, homework, reading and so much more. I have been doing this from about 17 years old and it is something I enjoy. I have also taken care of senior citizens ranging from ages 70 - 90. I do not have a drivers license, but I can help with errands throught uber or public transportation. I am a non-smoker.

Ms. Aaliyah is an amazing baby sitter. She took care of my 6 month old until she was 1 year old. I had to work a lot & she made everything so easy for me. I know my daughter was safe and well taken care of. I hope she continues to do this. She is amazing and will absolutely bless another family!

Booked by 1 family in Downingtown, PA

Hi! I’m Julia 💗 Pre-nursing student at Thomas Jefferson University (nursing school next year!), certified CNA, and BLS certified, but honestly, what sets me apart is how much I genuinely love being with kids. I have ADHD, and honestly? It’s my superpower with children. I match their energy, I get their humor, and I never run out of ideas for keeping things fun. Kids feel that immediately. I’m the sitter who’s actually on the floor playing, not just watching. That said, I’m also incredibly reliable and responsible. I made honor roll my freshman year of college while working and babysitting, so busy days don’t phase me. I’ve been babysitting for years and have experience with seniors too, so I understand patience, routines, and how to make people feel safe and cared for. I can help with meals, homework, light household tasks, and bedtime routines, all while keeping the vibe warm and calm. Families always tell me they feel at ease the moment they meet me, and that means everything to me. Whether it’s a one-time thing or a regular gig, I show up fully every single time. 🌟

"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)."
