ONLY AVAILABLE FOR DATE NIGHTS & WEEKENDS! .......BUT ALSO......... Available for P/T mornings & early afternoon beginning this fall... Hey! I'm Jasmin and I'm currently a fulltime Nanny/Household Manager for a family with 3 kiddos. Set of twins aged 5 & their 8 yr old brother. I will be transitioning to PT this fall as they will all begin full day school programs. I began as Night Nurse right after twins birth being that I'm also a Full Spectrum Doula & LactationEducator. I have tons of energy to match their needs as well as accomplish household duties. My skills with Time Management coupled with my slight OCD make an outstanding combination for a busy family with small children who need structure and cleanliness. I am very versatile and adaptable. I have been with all ages and have many years of experience. I ensure that the children remain in a safe environment while learning at the same time. I am a very punctual and respectful individual. I am very good with organizing and implementing rules as well.

Hi families! I’m Emily 👋🏼 A loving, experienced nanny with 10+ years in childcare. I began babysitting in college, earned my Bachelor’s in English, and went on to teach Pre-K and elementary students in Spain. 🇪🇸 Later, I pursued my Master’s in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Education. I’ve worked in classrooms ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade and am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities. I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports kids’ social-emotional development and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities include reading, yoga, outdoor play, crafts, and long walks! I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to practice with your little ones. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am great with pets. Since I teach during the school year, I’m currently available for seasonal summer care, with ongoing availability for evening and weekend babysitting. I’d love to build a warm, trusted relationship with your family! Warmly, Emily 🤍

“We were so appreciative of Emily’s flexibility last minute. She was so nice with our baby and our dog. I would absolutely hire Emily again!”

Hi, my name is Cielo! I’m the eldest of my siblings and have a natural knack for nurturing and caregiving. I’m currently working on getting my MBA, and I recently finished Mechanical Engineering degree at Northern Illinois University which has taught me excellent problem-solving and time-management skills which are great qualities for babysitting! I have hands-on experience caring for children, including a babysitting role during the summer of 2022 and helping raise my two younger sisters from infancy. I’m confident in creating a safe, fun, and educational environment for kids of all ages. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family and provide the care and support you’re looking for!

"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."
