Booked by 8 families in Philadelphia, PA

I am a proud mom of two beautiful daughters who are now 22 and 20 years old. Raising them gave me so much hands-on experience with children of all ages, and I absolutely loved every stage. I also have professional experience working in daycare settings, especially with infants and toddlers. I've cared for babies from a very young age, handling feeding, naps, diapering, and all the daily routines with patience and care. In addition, I've had the opportunity to support children with special needs through activities tailored to their abilities, and I really enjoy creating fun, engaging play-based activities that help kids learn and grow—whether it's sensory play, arts and crafts, music, outdoor time, or simple developmental games. I'm reliable, nurturing, and energetic, and I treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your family! Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi - My name is Aaliyah, but my preferred name is Ashanti. I am offering childcare and seniorcare services. I am the oldest child of 5. I have 2 children of my own. My daughters are 6 and 1. I enjoy doing everything with children; cooking, baking, crafts, homework, reading and so much more. I have been doing this from about 17 years old and it is something I enjoy. I have also taken care of senior citizens ranging from ages 70 - 90. I do not have a drivers license, but I can help with errands throught uber or public transportation. I am a non-smoker.

“Ms. Aaliyah is an amazing baby sitter. She took care of my 6 month old until she was 1 year old. I had to work a lot & she made everything so easy for me. I know my daughter was safe and well taken care of. I hope she continues to do this. She is amazing and will absolutely bless another family!”

Hello, my name is Kasinda Mallory -Williams. I am married with 2 biological children, 2 bonus children and 2 grandchildren. All children are grown now, youngest, 20 yrs old. My grandchildren ages are 11 yrs (boy), 1 yr old (girl). When I am not spending time with the grandkids, I am a teacher with the School District of Philadelphia (SDP). I currently withhold a Master's in Education and I am teaching Headstart...3-5yr olds. I have taught with SDP for going on 7 years....2[removed] school year. I've gained the experience in teaching 3 years Kindergarten, 3 years 1st Grade, and 2 years Headstart (current ). While working for the SDP, I've gained so much respect from my principals, teachers, students and their families.....so much that I won Teacher of The Year Award for the 2023-2024 school year 😃...which i was and still is Super Excited about. Before entering the SDP, I worked at a few childcare centers (long term).... equalling 20+ years, while attending school and working under AMAZING mentors. I am looking forward to working with you and your family in the near future. Currently, I have very little hobbies, using my free time to look into some business ventures/ideas that have been brewing and not acted upon! I am really looking forward to meeting ANYONE that is in need of some kind of "sitting assistance" and I guarantee you- your Loved one/s will be in Fun Safe hands 💖!

“Kasinda was arrived early and took great care of our 4 month old son all night. She is a loving mommy & grandmom, very experienced with kids, and trustworthy. She kept us updated while we were out.”

I am willing to offer: - Personalized care and attention: I will ensure that each child receives the attention and care they need, based on their individual needs and preferences. - Educational and recreational activities: I will plan and implement activities that encourage learning and fun, such as games, crafts, storytelling, and outdoor activities. - Support with daily tasks: I will help with daily tasks such as meal preparation, bathing, dressing, and bedtime.

"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)."
