Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible and fun- loving woman with over ten years of teaching experience. I’ve worked with all ages from infant - 8th graders in a variety of settings. My primary focus was in a classroom with children 3-6 years old, while running a movement program for 120 + students of that age. I led an after school program for over 100 1st-8th graders. I am an artist and can create unlimited fun projects for any child. I performed in a band, singing and dancing for children of all ages and I can play guitar. I am enthusiastic about childcare and look forward to working with any family!

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

Good morning Families, My name is Siana and I have over 5+ years of paid childcare experience from my work at ChildCareCareers and the Daniel Eric Rumph Foundation. While at CCC I worked as an onsite teacher assist for several classrooms at once at varies locations handling many different kinds of children acquiring both my CPR and First Aid Certifications, as for the “Rumph Foundation” I was an afternoon cooking instructor for different age groups. During that time I not only enjoyed creating a safe, fun and supportive environment where kids can learn and play but also feel comfortable being themselves. I love helping with activities such as crafts, outdoor play, games and homework when needed. Families would describe me as dependable and easy to communicate with as I always aim to make both the parent and child feel 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)."
