Kenya $14 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Kenya. I am a recent graduate from Penn State University where I majored in Psychology, with an emphasis on child psychology. I am taking a gap year to study for my LSAT. In this time I want to also explore my passion for working with children. In the past I have worked for a daycare for a year where I helped potty train children as well as help them socialize. I have my clearances and CPR license. I have also worked as a tutor and can help children with their homework. I enjoy exploring the environment with children and seeing things through their eyes. I look forward to taking your kids on walks, coloring, and baking. Don’t worry we’ll make sure to leave you some brownies for when you get back.

Makeda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents of Philadelphia! I have been doing childcare on and off since i was 13 years old and I do still love it. I have most recently helped care for a friend's child weekly from ages 3 months to 3 years old at which point the family moved out of state. From changing diapers, bottle feeding, and tummy time to running around, playing, and reading picture books, i love to be apart of a child's care system and watching them grow and change every time i get to hang out with them! I can cook complex and/or child friendly meals with attention to any allergies or other health concerns, I'm always down to help with any activities or homework that a child is working on, and I can maintain a fun and caring vibe while upholding household rules and guidelines! Please reach out if any of that sounds good to you. I would love to meet you and your family!

Dev 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Philadelphia, PA

Hello - My name is Debjani, you can call me Dev. I am offering infant care, childcare, and pet care. I have been formally taking care of children since I was sixteen years old, but have been assisting with kids of all ages in my family for as long as I can remember. I love babies and kids, playing games, providing outdoor experiences and, most importantly, making sure they are well taken care of. I have most recently provided summer nanny services to a 5 month old and am looking for a new position. In addition to childcare, I am able to provide light housekeeping and prepare meals. In addition to children, I also love caring for cats and dogs! I have provided paid pet care to neighbors and friends, in addition to caring for my own pets - a goldendoodle, a boxer mix, and a family cat (he's a menace, but I've won him over!).

“Dev has cared for our daughter as a summer nanny and part time babysitter for the last five years. She is wonderful with children! She follows instructions, is open to suggestions and feedback and is committed to really getting to know the children in her care.”

Yasmine $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm yasmine, and I'm excited about the opportunity to babysit for your family. With over 20 years of experience caring for children and three years in professional childcare, I’ve developed a passion for creating a safe and nurturing environment.

I understand their unique needs across various age groups and focus on providing personalized care. I hold a bachelor’s degree and enjoy incorporating educational activities, including math and French tutoring, into our time together. I believe learning should be fun and engaging. I am dedicated to fostering a positive atmosphere where your child feels safe and encouraged to explore. I look forward to discussing how I can support your family! Thank you for considering me!

"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)."
