Kenya $14 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Kenya. I am a recent graduate from Penn State University where I majored in Psychology, with an emphasis on child psychology. I am taking a gap year to study for my LSAT. In this time I want to also explore my passion for working with children. In the past I have worked for a daycare for a year where I helped potty train children as well as help them socialize. I have my clearances and CPR license. I have also worked as a tutor and can help children with their homework. I enjoy exploring the environment with children and seeing things through their eyes. I look forward to taking your kids on walks, coloring, and baking. Don’t worry we’ll make sure to leave you some brownies for when you get back.

Makeda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents of Philadelphia! I have been doing childcare on and off since i was 13 years old and I do still love it. I have most recently helped care for a friend's child weekly from ages 3 months to 3 years old at which point the family moved out of state. From changing diapers, bottle feeding, and tummy time to running around, playing, and reading picture books, i love to be apart of a child's care system and watching them grow and change every time i get to hang out with them! I can cook complex and/or child friendly meals with attention to any allergies or other health concerns, I'm always down to help with any activities or homework that a child is working on, and I can maintain a fun and caring vibe while upholding household rules and guidelines! Please reach out if any of that sounds good to you. I would love to meet you and your family!

Cemile $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have experience caring for children ranging from 3 weeks old to 7 years old, including newborns, infants, babies, toddlers, and young children. I’m very comfortable with kids and have always found it easy to connect with them. I’m calm, patient, attentive, and responsible, which is especially important to me when caring for babies and very young children. I’m comfortable with feeding, bottles, diaper changes, naps and bedtime routines, playtime, reading, walks, and keeping children entertained and engaged while following the parents’ preferred routine. I have a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and previously worked as a university research professor and consultant. I’m currently between full-time positions, so my schedule is very flexible for daytime, evening, and occasional babysitting. I understand that leaving your child with someone requires a lot of trust. I’m dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences, and my priority is making sure your child feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

"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)."
