Dilan $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I am looking for a full-time, long-term babysitting/nanny/nanyshare job. I have local references! I am 29 years old. I am a pathology technician, I worked in a hospital for 4 years. I have CPR+ First Aid certificates and training. In my country, i was working as a mediator between Au Pair candidates and host families at an au pair company.I was choosing Au Pairs suitable for babysitting. At the same time, I was listening to the requests and demands of the families. So I am familiar with all the communication, rules and procedures in the childcare and babysitting process. I am friendly, funny, understanding, strong worker, patient, not giving up easily in the face of difficulties, strong empathy and happy person! I am also a very clean and tidy person. My sign is Virgo!♍️ 🙂 I was previously working as an Aupair in New York and Virginia. Ages 2-3-6-9. After the Aupair program, I took care of a very sweet newborn baby in Fishtown, Philadelphia for about 6 months. We loved each other very much and became like family. Also i worked in Vancouver/Canada as an nanny. I have references from all my babysitting experiences. I worked in activities,parties for children during my student years and I love spending time with children. I am a very experienced. I have all the experience with different activities with the kids and baby care (feeding, preparing healty foods, changing diapers, sleeping, calming, massage, potty training). I am a meticulous person, so I pay extra attention to the cleanliness of my host kids and the hygiene of what they eat. I also like to help with light housework. I don't have a car yet. I have a lot of experience with newborns from my time working in hospitals, my time babysitting, and my own nieces and nephews. I am always very patient and friendly with children. The hardest part of this job is leaving them when the time comes. I don't see it as a job, spending time with them makes me happy. I have goals like improving my language skills in the US and then going to school. If you need babysitting during this time, you can reach me and my references! I am available around the end of October, November. I'm close to Fishtown. If you have any questions, I'd like to explain with detail, thank you if you read this far! 🫶🏿 I hope it will be a match where we can feel like a family! 🤞

Ciara $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Ciara, and I am excited to express my interest in being your nanny and becoming apart of the family! I have been a nanny for over 3–4 years, caring for children from newborns to toddlers, and I genuinely love what I do. My experience has allowed me to develop strong skills in child development, potty training, creating structured routines, and fostering nurturing, safe, and fun environments for children. One of my favorite experiences was watching a little girl grow from a 3-month-old into a confident 2-year-old. Being part of her milestones, from learning to walk and speak to potty training, was incredibly rewarding. I continue to check in on the children I’ve cared for because the bonds I build with them are deeper than just work—they feel like family. I am extremely reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in the person caring for their children. References are absolutely no problem—I am happy to provide them at any time. I am also very comfortable caring for multiple children of different ages, planning engaging, age-appropriate activities, and ensuring children feel loved and supported every day. I am passionate about making a positive impact in children’s lives while supporting families in their daily routines.

Hi! My name is Azaria , and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic babysitter with over 3 years of paid experience, including working with autistic children. I’ve also managed groups of up to 6 kids at a time, so I’m confident keeping things safe, organized, and fun even in busy households. I’m currently in school to become a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA), which has given me strong skills in safety, health awareness, and responsibility. Parents can feel confident knowing I bring both medical knowledge and genuine care to every babysitting job. I love creating engaging activities, helping with homework, and making sure every child feels comfortable and cared for. Families describe me as reliable, approachable, and attentive to detail. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or bedtime, I make sure kids are happy and parents feel at ease. 💕 *I do not feel comfortable driving around your little one I do have reliable transportation*

"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)."
