Booked by 7 families in Elkins Park, 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 :)

Jayla $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a high-energy, dependable caregiver with nearly a decade of experience. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, spent a year as a professional daycare teacher, and grew up as the eldest of five girls so I’m no stranger to a busy household! While I currently work in insurance and study accounting full-time, I love returning to my roots in childcare. I’m naturally enthusiastic and friendly, and while I can be a bit reserved with adults, I’m fully engaged and "all-in" when it comes to playing and connecting with kids. My philosophy is simple: I treat every child with the same care, patience, and protection I’d want for my own sisters. Their safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’m always happy to adapt to your family's specific routines to make sure everyone feels at ease.

"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)."
