Sean Philadelphia
$25 per hour for 1 child

I started my journey in childcare/teaching at age 19, when I was hired by the JCYS Lakeview Family Center as an Assistant Preschool Teacher for their 3-4 year old classroom. What followed was an incredible year of learning (for me and the students) that ignited my passion for empowering others through either teaching or intentional care. Since that time, I have gone on to teach students of all ages in a variety of arenas. I serve as a teaching artist for New York Shakespeare Exchange, teaching elementary/middle/high school students about literacy and writing skills through Shakespeare. I have also spent time teaching in Italy, using performance as a tool for personal expression and learning about managing emotions to students aged 6-17. I just moved to Philadelphia to support my fiancee as she grows her business (we make hand-poured candles). Outside of work, I play soccer and run marathons, I host card game/board game nights, and I am an avid motorsports enthusiast (driver and spectator). I am offering child care, senior care (non-medical), pet care, and household services. Happy to run errands or help with to-do's, however I can assist. The last thing I will add is that I am a professional actor. I lead with my creativity and imagination, especially in the education/childcare space. I believe in empowering students so they can grow into the best version of themselves. Can't wait to meet you all! -Sean

Keira Philadelphia
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Keira! I'm a writer and kindergarten afterschool teacher, excited to find a family with children between 4 and 11. My first childcare job was in middle school, as an assistant instructor at my martial arts studio. I assisted younger kids and even adults, but my favorite class each afternoon was the "Tiny Tigers" - a group of kids between 4 and 6 years old. While most of the class consisted of basic exercise and games, we strove to teach kids confidence and character - and I learned a lot about how to manage a group of rambunctious kids. I majored in Psychology at Arcadia University and interned at Moonstone Preschool in Center City, where I rediscovered my love for early childhood education. Now, I've been working in a Philadelphia kindergarten for nearly four years. I adore my class because there's never a dull moment with my kids and afterschool gives me a chance to provide enrichment outside the school day. Throughout my job, I've organized supplementary writing lessons, led my class through art and science projects, and even taught them how to sew and crochet! I'm CPR-certified and trained in first aid, and I have a store of experience working with children who have special needs. If you live in Philadelphia and are looking for morning care or weekend care for your child, please reach out!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
