Hi I’m Sunny! I truly just adore kids in every capacity and always have. I taught social/emotional learning in a parent-led teacher-run co-op school for 2-5 year olds for 6 years and have been nannying for over 15 years. Open communication, exploration, and positive reinforcement are my most important values in childcare. I love helping littles to discover their autonomy and wield them proudly! Thanks so much for your consideration🌞

Greetings! My name is Daniela, and I am 29 years old. I have over 8 years of experience working as a nanny and sitter for both short-term and long-term families. I view caring for children as a job that requires responsibility, diligence, patience, and, most importantly, genuine care and appreciation for both the children and their families. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. As a nanny and sitter, I love engaging children in activities that are both fun and beneficial to their development, including puzzles, reading, creative activities, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I also have a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, which has given me additional knowledge and understanding of child development, communication, emotional well-being, and creating supportive relationships with children. A few fun facts about me: I am a huge country music fan and a proud Cubs fan! I look forward to getting to know your family and creating a caring and enjoyable experience for your little ones.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
