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.

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.

Bianca $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bianca, and I’m a sophomore at Thomas Jefferson University. I’ve always loved being around children and caring for them, so babysitting has always felt very natural to me. As the oldest daughter in my family, I’ve had years of experience caring for my two younger sisters since they were babies. I’ve also cared for children in my family and for close family friends, from babies and toddlers to older children. I would describe myself as patient, caring, understanding, responsible, and fun! I love keeping kids entertained, whether that’s playing games, doing activities, helping with homework, going outside, or simply spending time together. I also understand that every child is different, so I’m always willing to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m happy to help with things beyond childcare as well, such as preparing meals, light tidying, running errands, and helping with homework. Most importantly, I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are safe, cared for, and having a good time while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on!

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 bring several years of professional childcare experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and children with diverse learning and behavioral needs. As a Lead Teacher, I’ve supported children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, emotional and behavioral challenges, and other exceptionalities. 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)."
