Zeruah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Zeruah - a childcare provider with years of experience with children of all ages. Before nannying, I worked at a childcare center for over a year caring for children ages 8 weeks to 5 years. I loved helping each child feel safe, seen and supported through learning, play and daily routines. I recently worked as a nanny for 4 months caring for children in a home setting. I continued babysitting for the family through occasional one-time jobs and have been working with them full-time again throughout August. As one of the children prepares to start Pre-K in September, my time with this family is coming to an end, and I'm looking forward to joining another family who would welcome me into their home. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep and bedtime routines. Outside of work, I love yoga, painting, sewing and fashion design. I also follow a vegan lifestyle focused on fruits and veggies!

Hi everyone! My name is Jaelyn — I’m 27 years old, CPR certified, and currently offering nanny services for now and the summer! I’ve spent the past few years teaching 3rd grade at a Catholic school, and I recently started my new journey teaching 1st grade at a new school with the philadelphia school district. I graduated from West Chester University in 2021 and am currently pursuing my master’s in Counseling at Saint Joseph’s University, with the goal of becoming a school counselor to better support children socially, emotionally, and academically. With several years of experience working closely with children, both in and outside the classroom, I bring patience, structure, creativity, and a nurturing personality to every child I care for.

Here’s what I can offer: • Full-time or part-time summer nanny availability • Help with light academics (reading, writing, math review, etc.) • Structured routines and engaging activities • Meal prep for kids and light housekeeping (if needed) • Reliable transportation and flexible hours • Experience with children ages 3+ Whether you’re looking for someone consistent and dependable or a caring educator to keep your little ones engaged and learning during the summer months, I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family!

Namirah $22 per hour for 1 child

I have over five years of experience working as a nanny, where I have had the opportunity to care for children from a variety of ages and backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have worked with 5+ families for long periods of the years , which has helped me develop strong childcare, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children while supporting their individual needs and development. I am now looking to expand my nanny career, continue growing professionally, and build meaningful relationships with more families. I believe my qualifications, personality traits, and talents make me a great caregiver because I am compassionate, patient, dependable, and attentive to the needs of others. I understand the importance of providing care with respect and making people feel safe, comfortable, and valued. I am a good listener and communicate well with others, which helps me understand their needs and build trust. I am also responsible and able to stay calm in challenging situations. I pay close attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and am willing to learn new skills to provide the best care possible. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to be supportive and understanding while still encouraging independence. I take pride in helping others and making a positive difference in their daily lives.

"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)."
