Hello my name is Caroline, I am professional nanny looking to build long lasting relationships with families as a caretaker. I worked as a professional Chef before transitioning into childcare, so if you need me to feed your little ones, I am the right person for you! I just graduated with a degree in Psychology and I am CPR Certified. I am also bilingual with native fluency in both English and Spanish. And have experience with kids from 0-10 years old and long term references from nanny families. I believe in giving kids the space to express themselves while providing healthy and safe guidelines in a fun and educative environment.
“Caroline was an absolute delight! She took on a job for us at the last minute, and I am so glad we found her! Caroline was communicative and on-time. She started connecting with my daughter right away and was immediately willing to engage with my daughter on her terms. She kept my very energetic child engaged for hours with minimal screen time, which is essentially miraculous. I will absolutely be hiring her again!”
Hi Parents! I'm Beatriz, an experienced and reliable nanny with 8+ years caring for children of all ages (up to 10). I am CPR & First Aid certified (American Red Cross), a non-smoker, pet-friendly, and have a valid driver's license. I'm currently seeking a full-time position as my current role is coming to an end, and I'm also open to temporary summer positions and babysitting opportunities. I create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment, supporting development through creative activities, structured routines, and positive learning. I enjoy outdoor play and preparing healthy meals. I'm dependable, flexible, and proactive, with strong communication skills, keeping parents informed while adapting to each family's needs. Please feel free to reach out, I'd be happy to share my resume and references!
“My kids LOVED Bea and she was so wonderful with them!!!!!”
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!”
Hi -My name is Gladys. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 and I have enjoyed getting to know each different kid. I started by watching my little brothers and sister and quickly learned that I had a talent for connecting with kids. I began watching kids around my neighborhood and even achieved a CPR certificate.
“Gladys has been our full time nanny since January. She has cared for our three children (11, 9, and 5) wonderfully. She has navigated crazy morning routines, a child with high anxiety, and lots of afterschool activities. She is patient with our children, keeps them on schedule and has been very engaging during the day with our youngest. She has a wonderful network of nannies in our area and set up play dates with other children and our son. She is very friendly, on time, and flexible. She has brought her daughter with and that has not impacted her ability to care for our children - in fact they absolutely adore her! We are sad to see Gladys go, but our kids will all be in full time school starting in the fall.”
Hi, my name is Erica-Zaneta, and I’m a sophomore in college studying English and Business Management with hands-on experience working with kids in both camp and youth-focused nonprofit settings. I’ve worked at YMCA Camp Duncan and with youth mental health organizations including The Cornerstone and the Voices Institute. I’m patient, dependable, and CPR/First Aid certified, with a strong focus on safety and communication. I’m currently available at most times, just let me know!

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
