Hi, I’m Joy, an experienced pediatric nurse with 3-4 years caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children. I offer child care, tutoring, homework help, and light housekeeping. I enjoy engaging kids with creative activities like painting and storytelling, helping them learn and have fun. In addition to child care, I provide senior care, assisting with daily tasks such as cooking, driving to appointments, and companionship. I find joy in supporting seniors with patience and kindness. I’m comfortable caring for pets of various breeds and sizes, including walking, feeding, and playing with them. While I’m happy with most pets, I prefer to avoid animals that shed excessively. For household services, I can assist with cleaning, cooking, laundry, errands, and organizing. I can bring my own cleaning supplies if needed. I’m responsible, compassionate, and dedicated to making a positive difference in the families I work with.

Prompt and attentive childcare service. Highly recommend.

A nurturing, responsible, and energetic nanny with over 5 years of experience caring for children from newborn through elementary age is seeking a full-time position. I am currently pursuing my degree in Elementary Education and bring a strong passion for helping children grow, learn, and develop through play, reading, structured routines, and creative activities. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

We had a wonderful experience with Libby. My son absolutely loved her as a babysitter. She was playful, attentive, and genuinely caring, and she was very responsive to his needs. Libby was always punctual, often arriving early, and consistently reliable when we needed her. She engaged my son thoughtfully and made him feel comfortable and happy. We will absolutely be rebooking her and highly recommend her to other families.

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,

Tara was prompt, took directions well and very pleasant. My kids really liked and enjoyed her.

Booked by 3 families in Philadelphia, PA

Hi Parents! I’m Tyahn. I’m a reliable and caring nanny looking for a full-time position. I have 7+ years of childcare experience with three families, plus daycare and youth program experience working with infants through school-age kids. I’m graduating with a degree in Communication Studies, and as I move into my career path, I’ve been looking to stay connected to working with kids since it’s something I’m very experienced in and genuinely enjoy. I enjoy supporting children with their daily routines, learning, and play, and I focus on creating a fun and safe environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, consistent, and hands-on, and I can also help with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. I’m flexible and looking for a long-term family to grow with. I can provide references from previous families upon request. I’m CPR and first aid certified and up to date on COVID-19 vaccination. Would love to connect!

Tyahn is wonderful! She began babysitting for our 1 year old in August and quickly became our go-to. She's great with our daughter and super helpful when our baby is sleeping (e.g. getting things organized, prepping meals, etc.). You'd be lucky to have Tyahn work with your family!

"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)."
