Booked by 1 family in Jenkintown, PA

A nurturing, responsible, and energetic nanny with over 5 years of experience caring for children from newborn through elementary age is seeking a full-time position. I am currently pursuing my degree in Elementary Education and bring a strong passion for helping children grow, learn, and develop through play, reading, structured routines, and creative activities. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

We had a wonderful experience with Libby. My son absolutely loved her as a babysitter. She was playful, attentive, and genuinely caring, and she was very responsive to his needs. Libby was always punctual, often arriving early, and consistently reliable when we needed her. She engaged my son thoughtfully and made him feel comfortable and happy. We will absolutely be rebooking her and highly recommend her to other families.

Experienced and nurturing nanny with a passion for childcare and early childhood development. With 4 years of experience, I provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for children to thrive in. From crafting creative activities to fostering a sense of curiosity, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the children under my care. CPR and First Aid certified, I am dedicated to ensuring their safety while encouraging their growth and independence. This is my first time in this app but i have been working in other apps before

Isabella has watched our son for the last 12 months for date night etc. She is the perfect combination of following instructions / Routine but also has a good gut sense for when to deviate if things are not going according to plan. Great communicator and super reliable. We are so lucky to have her!

Hi there! My name is Tamaryce, but the kids call me Tammy I’m a creative, dependable, and nurturing caregiver who believes every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and celebrated. My goal is to create a fun, structured, and loving environment where children can learn, grow, and simply enjoy being kids.

I’m trained in CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) and experienced in implementing positive behavior supports, sensory activities, visual schedules, and individualized learning strategies that help every child thrive. Learning through play is at the heart of everything I do! Whether we’re building blanket forts, exploring nature, creating arts and crafts, reading stories, dancing around the living room, or tackling fun STEM activities, I love turning everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences. I always come prepared with engaging activities tailored to each child’s interests, personality, and developmental stage. Your family’s health and well-being are important to me. I practice excellent hygiene, encourage healthy habits, and am happy to follow any health, allergy, dietary, or household routines you have in place to ensure your children are cared for exactly the way you prefer. ✨ A Few Fun Facts About Me! ✨ • I can read and understand Korean (I’m still working on speaking it!) • I’m basically a human jukebox—I absolutely love music and karaoke! • I enjoy introducing children to music, movement, creativity, and imaginative play. • I love the outdoors, historical sites, and finding new adventures that spark curiosity and learning. I know trusting someone with your children is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing dependable care, open communication, and a positive environment where your children feel safe, confident, and genuinely excited for our time together. I can’t wait to meet your family and become someone your children look forward to seeing!

"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."

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
