Booked by 30 families in Murphy, TX

Hello, I’m Aleehya — a compassionate and experienced childcare provider with over seven years of dedicated service supporting children from infancy through late adolescence. My background includes working as a Registered Behavioral Technician in ABA therapy, where I support children with autism and other developmental needs through structured, evidence-based behavioral interventions designed to help them thrive. I bring a nurturing, patient, and encouraging presence to every setting, whether I’m caring for infants with gentle routines, helping school-aged children with emotional and social development, or supporting teens with life skills and confidence-building activities. I’ve also served as an assistant teacher at my church for over two years, where I help lead lessons and provide a safe, positive learning environment for children of all ages. In addition to childcare, I also offer reliable pet care services for families — from daily support and overnight care to working with dogs and cats who have medical or behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and tending to pets with specific routines or health conditions. Whether supporting a child with sensory sensitivities or comforting a pet recovering from surgery, I approach each situation with empathy, attentiveness, and professionalism. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for families by creating a caring, structured, and uplifting space where both children and pets feel secure, valued, and understood.

“Aleehya'a presence in our home was seamless and easy. She was on time, asked smart and meaningful questions, and kept my sometimes very challenging child happy and entertained. Absolutely a gem!”

Booked by 36 families in Murphy, TX

I’m a bilingual educator and experienced caregiver with over 20 years of experience working with children. My background includes teaching, private family education, nannying, Spanish immersion, nature-based learning, and supporting children with different learning styles and needs. A big part of my work is grounded in secure attachment and relationship-based care. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, respected, and deeply connected to the adults caring for them. I pay close attention to each child’s temperament, cues, emotions, and individual needs, and I aim to create a calm, warm environment where they can be fully themselves. I love creating playful and engaging experiences through reading, art, imaginative play, outdoor adventures, games, hands-on learning, and following children’s natural curiosity. I’m also happy to naturally incorporate Spanish into our time together if families are interested. I have extensive experience with children from early childhood through elementary age, siblings, and multi-child households. I’m comfortable with routines, meals, bedtime, transportation, homework support, and keeping things calm and organized while parents are away. Families who work with me often become repeat families, and building that kind of trust and connection is something I value deeply. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting, date nights, weekends, and select recurring care.

Booked by 7 families in Murphy, TX

Hi! I’m Adesewa, a computer science student at UT Dallas with a pretty flexible schedule and a car, so I’m able to help out easily when needed. I’ve spent time caring for kids through babysitting and helping out with families I know, and it’s something that’s always come naturally to me. I’m patient, calm, and I genuinely enjoy being around kids. What I enjoy most about caregiving is being someone parents can rely on. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your kids with someone, and I take that seriously. I’m attentive, I follow routines, and I make sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. A little about me, I’m easygoing, responsible, and I enjoy music, movies and staying active. I’m also big on communication, so you’ll always know how things are going. Overall, I’m dependable, present, and someone you can trust to make things easier for you and keep your kids in good hands.

“We had an excellent experience with Adesewa! She was incredibly kind, professional, and took excellent care of our little one. We couldn't have asked for better, and we were truly grateful for the opportunity to book with her.”

"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)."
