Hanna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone, I'm Hanna! I am moving to Chicago ASAP, so I am looking for a new family to nanny for right after I move (flexible)! I'm 26 and have been caring for children for 8.5 years. I am currently a nanny/house manager full-time for an amazing family who has twins who recently turned 3, a 5-year-old, and sometimes their cousin is there who's 2. I love to plan fun educational activities and games for the kids like sensory bins, fine motor skills focused tasks, sorting colors/shapes/letters. We love to play inside and outside, go to the zoo, parks, pool, splash pads, take them and their large dog on walks, and bring them weekly to their gymnastics class. I have been with them for 2 years, and was with various other families in the past, as well as worked at a daycare/preschool for a year and absolutely loved it! I am able to do any extra tasks such as laundry, light housekeeping, run errands, grocery shop, organize areas, prep meals, car cleaning and maintenance, and more. I have experience with children ages 3-months-11-years-old, but most of my time has been with infants and toddlers. At the daycare, my duties included things like bottle feedings, diaper changes, nap times, meals/snacks, potty training, indoor and outdoor fun, cleaning, and sticking to a schedule for each individual infant/toddler. The room ratio was 1 adult:4 infants/toddlers, so I was definitely busy (I was mainly with the infants and sometimes toddlers)! I am CPR/First Aid certified, have a Bachelor's degree from Michigan State University, not a smoker, have a reliable car, and up to date on vaccines. All of the positions I've had have been with multiple children at once, so the more the merrier, but one would be great as well! I am looking for a full-time and long-term position in the Chicagoland area. I can't wait to continue my nannying journey with a new family in a new city! I absolutely adore children. I love seeing their smiling faces, watching them grow, and surpassing different milestones! If all goes well after a virtual interview/phone call, I will come to meet you and your family in person, before I move, to make sure everyone is feeling comfortable and confident moving forward! Please message me if you have any questions or want more information - I'm able to send over my resume and references upon request. I'd love to hear from you :)

Jessica $22 per hour for 1 child

My degree in education, childcare, and all the necessary first aid qualifications offer a solid foundation to my approach to childcare. I completed my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education with a Minor is ESL from DePaul University. My aim is to help kids achieve their goals by creating an encouraging learning environment full of interaction— hands-on activities, singing, outdoor explorations, crafts, etc— and positive energy! Although I love to have fun and engage with my kids, safety is my utmost concern and I carefully monitor children during indoor time as well as when I take them on outings to the park or walks around the neighborhood. With strong interpersonal skills, I have the ability to communicate effectively with kids and their guardians. I have 10+ years of childcare experience as I progressed from a babysitter in my early teens, to a part-time nanny, to working full-time in a classroom.

Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophia, and I've been a resident of Chicago for a year now. I'm 28 years old and currently looking for a part-time or full-time nanny position. I have had experience with babysitting and nannying throughout high school, college, and beyond. I've cared for children of all ages—from infants to kids ages 2–9, and even preteens and teens (10–15 years old). As I don’t currently have a car in the city, I’m primarily seeking an in-home nanny position, ideally caring for an infant during standard work hours. I'm also comfortable with pets and happy to help with housekeeping tasks. I genuinely love cleaning and organizing! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a call. I’d love to connect!

Ciara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Ciara and I have been babysitting and nannying for close to 10 years now. I am CPR certified, familiar with children of all ages, and am well versed with physical, emotional and learning disabilities that a child may have. I have a car and am willing to travel. I just graduated from college and am looking for a short term job as I start my teaching job on January 9th. I speak Spanish proficiently, English fluently, and I am intermediate in Farsi as well. I have dealt with kids ages 6 weeks to 13 years, so I am well aware of any and everything they might have to deal with while I am watching them. Feel free to message me with any more questions or concerns you may have. In my free time I love to read, workout, and go on walks with my dog.

"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."
