Hi! My name is Nicole. I am originally from Orange County, Calfornia. I received my BA in Psychology from Princeton University in 2012, completed a post-baccalaureate program at Harvard in 2015, and earned my MD from the University of Southern California (fight on!) in 2021. I moved to Chicago in June of 2021 for general surgery residency at Northwestern and am currently completing two years of academic development time, which encompasses conducting research and pursuing my Master of Science in Health Services and Outcomes Research. I am the middle child between two brothers and started babysitting when I was 12 years old. I have cared for children of all ages (from infants to teenagers) and feel very comfortable watching multiple children at a time. I was a volunteer in the pediatrics unit at Massachusetts General Hospital for three years and have done extensive coursework in child development, which included frequent visits to a preschool in New Jersey as well as the Eden Institute for children with Autism. Additionally, I have completed several pediatric surgery rotations in residency and am well-versed in pediatric medical care. I have a great deal of experience in childcare from many years of babysitting, volunteering, and schooling and love children very much. Some of my favorite activities to do with the children I care for include reading, puzzles, arts and crafts, dress up, playing classical music, dancing, going to the park, practicing numbers/colors/letters, baking, and coloring. I also love to cook and have no issue preparing snacks, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to working with you and your family!

“Communicative, lovely, and flexible. Sounds like our son had a great day with her!”

Hello Urban Parents! My name is Viktorija and I have been a nanny for over 10 years now and I absolutely love my job! I am looking for mostly part-time positions around 25-30 hours a week! I am a college graduate with a 3.9 cumulative GPA and a degree in Media and Communications. Since high school and throughout college Ive been consistently babysitting/nannying for multiple families, including caring for my two nieces since their birth. I have a passion for working with kids and teaching them new skills, expanding their understanding of the ever-changing world as they grow and get them to be more active in their play. I love the outdoors but I have no problem being creative indoors either. Every child sees even the smallest thing as an opportunity to be creative and imaginative. I guess i've kept a lot of my inner child to this day which is why i find it so easy to connect and care for children :) My biggest passions are sports, singing, songwriting and visual arts. I also love dog walking, taking care of animals and don’t mind doing house managing to families as I have a lot of experience with executive administration work. Let’s chat to see how we can find a best fit for your needs.

"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."
