Afrika $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, nanny, and caregiver with over 17 years of experience supporting babies, children, and families. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for more than 100 families, providing expert newborn care, overnight support, feeding guidance, sleep routines, postpartum support, and dependable childcare. Today, I focus on providing premium, flexible childcare for families who need trusted, experienced support without committing to a full-time nanny. My services are ideal for: • Date nights • Drop-in care • Daytime support • Backup care when your regular caregiver is unavailable • Weekend care • Special events and appointments • Postpartum and newborn support • Overnight newborn care Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, returning to work, attending an event, or simply need a few hours to recharge, I provide reliable, high-quality care tailored to your family’s needs. My approach is calm, nurturing, and family-centered. I respect each family’s parenting style while creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where children feel secure and parents have complete peace of mind. As both an experienced childcare professional and a mother, I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to make every family’s experience seamless, supportive, and stress-free.

Abby $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m from West Philadelphia (born and raised) and I went to Penn for my Bachelors, so I know this area like the back of my hand! I’ve been babysitting school-age kids since I was a teenager, and I am adept at bedtime stories, outdoor play, tutoring, and cooking. For longer-term gigs, I like to encourage kids to try new things and build age-appropriate skills (with parents’ permission of course). I studied physics in college and in the fall, I will be going to Columbia to get my PhD in earth science, so if your kids need some tutoring or homework help in STEM, I’d be happy to provide it! Since I’m doing a gap year, my schedule is quite flexible, so please just let me know your needs!

Rhys $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Rhys (they/them). I’m a nonbinary, neurodivergent, and artistic caregiver who brings patience, creativity, and grounded communication to every family. I spend a lot of time reading and in nature, and I love weaving those interests into activities that nurture curiosity, confidence, and emotional growth. I have CPR certification and full clearances for working in educational settings, and I will be a Certified Peer Specialist in the new year, which deepens my skills in emotional support, active listening, and community-centered care. My childcare experience includes supporting kids ages 2–10 in home, tutoring, and camp environments. I’m Wilson Fundations trained for reading instruction and enjoy helping children build literacy skills at their own pace. My background in art—including college coursework—enhances the creative activities I offer: arts and crafts, sensory projects, LEGO building, nature-based learning, and baking. I also teach emotional regulation, mindfulness, beginner swimming, and hands-on skills that help children feel capable and grounded. I’m reliable, communicative, and mindful, and I value inclusive care rooted in respect and understanding. I’m comfortable with meal prep, cooking, baking, and general household support, and I’m open to long-term nannying and house manager roles. As a pet sitter, I provide overnight care, routine walks, leash training, pets with attachment anxiety and medication management. I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and rabbits, and enjoy supporting training routines that help pets feel safe and confident. I am also available for non-medical senior care. Through caring for my grandmother long-term, I developed deep patience, empathy, and a strong sense of companionship and consistency. My goal is always to create a safe, welcoming, inclusive environment where children, pets, and seniors feel respected, understood, and cared for. I bring creativity, calm, and earth-conscious values to every home I support.

"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)."
