Hello, I'm Milan! I have a background of sitting a wide range of children for about 4 years. I am an aspiring psychologist with interest in child/adolescent mental health care, having experience working with children with intellectual/developmental disabilities. My hobbies and interests include dancing, gaming, and spending quality time with my loved ones. I am an older sister who has taken care of my younger siblings throughout my life, and have a cat who I love dearly. I hope to be able to provide a sensitive, nurturing, and fun environment for your children to feel safe and well-cared for!

Azizah $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a 25 year experienced childcare provider my journey goes a little like this... Having just two years of professional experience in infant care, my nurturing and compassionate nature has been shaped by both my work and my own journey as a mother, giving me deep familiarity with the early stages of infancy and the calm, attentive care they require. Toddlers are one of my favorite age groups thanks to their natural curiosity and wonder, and I’ve spent approximately five years supporting their growth through potty training, imaginative play, and age-appropriate independence. I also have eight years of experience working with preschoolers, whose similar sense of exploration allows me to bring the same enthusiasm and developmental support to their learning. The largest portion of my background—about twelve years—has been dedicated to school-aged children, where I’ve helped emerging readers build literacy skills and guided middle schoolers in developing confidence and purpose. Across all age groups, these experiences have strengthened my resilience, adaptability, and patience, which I bring to every child and every moment of care. I’m an extrovert through and through—I love to laugh and truly am a kid at heart! By kid, I mean I don’t mind getting messy, playing ninja, singing Disney songs at the top of my lungs, having spontaneous dance parties, and cracking (and laughing at) endless knock-knock jokes. As both a former educator and a mom, I’ve mastered the art of balancing firmness with fairness—always leading with respect, understanding, and a whole lot of heart.

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! A little bit about me: I moved to the Philadelphia area six years ago from Seattle, and spent the three years working in a trauma-informed, strengths-based GED and job training program for 14-21-year-olds. After that, I worked as a nanny for about 4 months before transitioning to a full time role as a community organizer. Before that, while studying at Gonzaga University, I worked for three summers as an overnight YMCA camp counselor, followed by 2 summers as the assistant director for a YMCA day camp. Throughout my time in high school and college, I babysat and tutored regularly, ranging in age from 2 months to 13 years. After leaving my most recent job (on good terms), I'm looking to go back to my roots in childcare. I love being with kids outdoors or doing crafts, talking with them about their days, reading, and helping with homework. I believe deeply in the importance of safe, loving, and supportive environments for babies and kids.

Isabelle $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am a social services professional who has enjoyed working with children and pets for over 15 years. I have loved children since I was a child myself, and began babysitting at age 12. Since then, I have worked with kids in various capacities, including private nannying, tutoring, as a camp counselor, in a public school, and most recently, as a therapeutic ceramics teacher. My professional background also includes four years of refugee resettlement work and two years of education with neurodiverse learners. As a result, I am seasoned in connecting with people from all walks of life. I would be honored to bring my engaging, caring approach to your family. Additionally, I am a pet sitter! I would love to discuss how I can help your family. I have a flexible schedule, excellent experience, and a true passion for caring for others.

"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)."
