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.

Ciara $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Ciara, and I am excited to express my interest in being your nanny and becoming apart of the family! I have been a nanny for over 3–4 years, caring for children from newborns to toddlers, and I genuinely love what I do. My experience has allowed me to develop strong skills in child development, potty training, creating structured routines, and fostering nurturing, safe, and fun environments for children. One of my favorite experiences was watching a little girl grow from a 3-month-old into a confident 2-year-old. Being part of her milestones, from learning to walk and speak to potty training, was incredibly rewarding. I continue to check in on the children I’ve cared for because the bonds I build with them are deeper than just work—they feel like family. I am extremely reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children. References are absolutely no problem—I am happy to provide them at any time. I am also very comfortable caring for multiple children of different ages, planning engaging, age-appropriate activities, and ensuring children feel loved and supported every day. I am passionate about making a positive impact in children’s lives while supporting families in their daily routines.

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."

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)."
