Hello, my name is Kierra and I am a recent college graduate from the Soma Institute. I received my diploma in clinical massage therapy. I have always had a passion and heart for helping others, whether it is for infants, kids and even adults. For the past 12 years, I have been actively involved in helping parents and several families with childcare. I prioritize the children(s) wants and needs, while creating a safe environment for their overall well being. My responsibilities for childcare are versatile with driving to and from school, after school programs, homework assistance, prepping meals, household cleanliness, and preparing daily summer activities. I am fun, energetic, driven, responsible, dependable and spontaneous while ensuring the safety upon the children(s) that I am taking care of. I am driven to provide any family with active comprehension skills regarding the wants and needs of their young ones. Lastly, outside of taking care of children, I have lots of experience with house and pet sitting.

Iris 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Chicago, IL

Hello! I have experience in childcare, as a mother I understand and comprehend the requirements and attention that children demand, I can help with easy tasks around the house such as preparing food for the children, basic cleaning, running errands, taking the kids to extracurricular activities, I also love pets, I have full-time availability from Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 2:30pm, my main language is Spanish but I understand English at 50%.

“Iris has been part of our family for two years, and it's hard to imagine our kids' early years without her. She started caring for our daughter Luna at just 3 months old, and when our son Atlas arrived about six months later, she took him on too, managing two infants without missing a beat. What sets Iris apart is how naturally she's become family, not just childcare. She reads both kids incredibly well, adapting to their different personalities and needs, and handled the jump from one baby to two with a calm we didn't know was possible. One thing we especially value is that Iris speaks to our children in Spanish, giving them real bilingual exposure from infancy. If you're looking for a professional nanny who will genuinely love your children and grow with your family, Iris is exactly that. We recommend her without hesitation.”

"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."
