Hi, and thank you for looking at my profile. My name is Mirella and I absolutely love children! I've been working with them for 20 years now. I graduated from Columbia College with a bachelor's in music business management & marketing, as well as early childhood education. I also have a master's degree in internet marketing. I have extensive experience and education in child development that I am constantly continuing. I have been a professional babysitter, professional nanny, daycare provider, nursery attendant, camp counselor, tutor, ECE teacher (birth-2nd grade), and Newborn Care Specialist (birth-18months). I am CPR and First Aid trained and certified. I participated in the 2012 to 2016 national nanny training days, happiest baby on the block, and nanny Stella of nanny 911 certifications. I'm a member of the US Nanny Association and the International Nanny Association. I am the child care provider for the cast & crew of 3 TV shows filming in Chicago. I was nominated for America's Top Sitter 2014. In early 2016 I created, hosted, and spoke at Chicago Nanny Training Day. In August 2016 I became a certified Postpartum Doula and in December 2016, a Labor Doula. I’m the Vice President of the Nanny Sitter Education Fund. Lastly, I am an Expert at CareNectar.com Most importantly, I truly adore children! I treat each child as if they are my own to give them the best love and care possible. I love encouraging language, music, and reading. I also love to do outdoor activities and arts & crafts. More than anything, I love being a positive and loving influence on their development and in their lives. I love being an UrbanSitter SuperSitter! Previously, I was hired on as UrbanSitter's Education Coordinator and have trained my fellow sitters on Newborn Care. I also provide one on one or small group workshops for parents, as well as nanny hiring and training. Furthermore, I was also hired on as UrbanSitter's Chicago Brand Ambassador. So hopefully I'll get to meet you at an event soon! In my spare time, I love spending time with my husband, friends and family. I also love to travel, support the arts, and do charity work. So whether it's spending the day with your precious little one, training your full-time caregiver, or giving you support, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Take care! :-)

Hi there! I am Blanca and I have had a passion for school and education ever since I was in kindergarten! I recently reconnected with some family after 17 years and turns out I have nieces and nephews, so I decided to take a break from teaching to travel often and spend time with them. While I am enjoying living life as a lady of leisure when back in town, I do miss working with younger children, so I am looking for occasional/one-time babysitting jobs where I can help out parents and have fun-filled days with children. I am a graduate of Dominican University, where I studied elementary, ESL, bilingual education, and translation & interpretation. I have experience working as a high school and elementary teacher, K-12 substitute teacher, teacher’s assistant, daycare center lead teacher, and camp teacher; as well as babysitting from months-old babies to teenagers. I am very patient, caring and attentive. I began my paid experience babysitting for my former teachers and employers, who then referred me to their friends and they to theirs, and so on, so I’ve become an occasional sitter for several families while I’m not teaching, but this year I am looking for occasional jobs to make better use of my time until the next school year starts. I love anything puzzle-related; I’m a pro at hide-and-seek, and can do arts and crafts out of anything! My music taste range is insane! I also haven’t owned a tv in over 8 years, so I never resort to screen time… unless your child turns it on and I can’t figure out how to turn it off for a few minutes. In my spare time, I enjoy nature, music, brain teasers, origami, and cleaning, to name a few things. Fun fact: I can drive and ride a motorcycle, but I have yet to learn to ride a regular bike!

Booked by 34 families in Kenilworth, IL

Hello I'm Maria! I am a dedicated and detail-oriented nanny with over 9 years of experience, starting in 2016. My passion for providing a safe, fun, and educational environment for children has been a key driver in my work. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences that promote learning while ensuring that kids are having fun. I am highly organized, follow schedules closely, and work to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in good hands. As a COVID-19-conscious professional, I have all my vaccines up to date and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. My experience is very diverse as I have worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and older aged kids, as well with multiples(twins) and multiple siblings. I'm also available on weekday evenings should you ever need help then. I am comfortable working around pets as well. I am bilingual in Spanish as well. In addition to child care, I'm able to help with preparing meals, light housekeeping, and laundry. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family more. Thank you!

“Kids had a fantastic time! 10/10!”

"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."
