Amaya $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amaya and I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's in Social Work and Policy Studies. I have a deep passion for child safety and welfare, and creating safe, nurturing environments where kids can truly thrive. My childcare experience spans several years, from helping care for children in my neighborhood growing up with my mother, to working at the YMCA with toddlers, to working at a daycare with children as young as 8 months through kindergarten age. I understand child development deeply, not just from hands-on experience but from my academic training in social work. I am warm, creative, and imaginative. I believe in getting kids engaged in play, art, and hands-on activities rather than screens. I bring energy and intentionality to every interaction. I respond quickly and communicate clearly with parents such as updates, photos, and check-ins are always part of my care. Beyond childcare, I am a previous cat owner and have pet sat dogs for friends, so I am comfortable with animals. I am also open to light household tasks as needed. I am reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with. I work well independently and show up prepared and on time.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Folcroft, PA

I enjoy caring for children, pets, and the elderly because it allows me to help others and build strong, caring relationships. I have experience babysitting, looking after animals, and supporting elderly people with daily tasks. These roles have taught me to be patient, responsible, and compassionate. I’m new to this app, but I have plenty of experience working with children, dogs, and seniors. If you give me the opportunity, I promise you won’t regret it.🩷 I can share a lot of my culture with children and open up a world of opportunities. With love Adaiha

Thank you Adaiha for looking after our kids, keeping our house neat and tidy and coming on time! We highly recommend Adaiha and would have her look after our kids again.

Keira $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Keira! I'm a writer and kindergarten afterschool teacher, excited to find a family with children between 4 and 11. My first childcare job was in middle school, as an assistant instructor at my martial arts studio. I assisted younger kids and even adults, but my favorite class each afternoon was the "Tiny Tigers" - a group of kids between 4 and 6 years old. While most of the class consisted of basic exercise and games, we strove to teach kids confidence and character - and I learned a lot about how to manage a group of rambunctious kids. I majored in Psychology at Arcadia University and interned at Moonstone Preschool in Center City, where I rediscovered my love for early childhood education. Now, I've been working in a Philadelphia kindergarten for nearly four years. I adore my class because there's never a dull moment with my kids and afterschool gives me a chance to provide enrichment outside the school day. Throughout my job, I've organized supplementary writing lessons, led my class through art and science projects, and even taught them how to sew and crochet! I'm CPR-certified and trained in first aid, and I have a store of experience working with children who have special needs. If you live in Philadelphia and are looking for morning care or weekend care for your child, please reach out!

Booked by 1 family in Folcroft, 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)."
