Chamique $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Chamique! I am a patient and compassionate caregiver with experience working with people of all ages. As a youth leader and a caregiver for my nephews since they were newborns (now 2-3 years old), I have developed strong skills in child care. I am also a big sister. I have also worked in customer-facing roles for over 8 years, which has significantly enhanced my ability to connect with and understand others. In addition to child care, I offer senior care services. I enjoy listening to the stories of the elderly and providing them with the care they need. My volunteer work, including distributing food to the homeless, reflects my dedication to helping others. I also take pleasure in reading to children and tutoring them, making their learning experience enjoyable and fulfilling.

Jaelynn $23 per hour for 1 child

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. I’m passionate about helping kids feel safe, seen, and supported — whether we’re working on reading skills, doing a fun craft, exploring the outdoors, or just enjoying a relaxing summer day. 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! Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a time to talk. References available upon request!

tinhinane $15 per hour for 1 child

I have strong caregiving experience from back home. I completed a Master of Science degree in my home country and have always been responsible and dedicated when caring for others. Growing up, I helped take care of my younger brothers and sisters. I was responsible for feeding them, changing their diapers, cooking meals, helping with homework, and keeping them safe. This gave me real-life experience in caring for children of different ages and understanding their needs. Even though I was a high school student at the time, I learned how to be patient, organized, and nurturing. These are the same skills that make a great caregiver today.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
