20+ years of professional experience & ECE Degree. I am safe, loving and love to teach and help children explore. Some things of importance to me as a person/nanny are freedom, transparency, quality time, positivity and encouragement both things I give and like to receive. I am open minded and have been told my communication skills are sincerely appreciated. I enjoy making up new stimulating activities for children of all ages, and diving into their world with them! I take a customized approach based on how your child learns and likes/dislikes, I love being goofy š . I donāt believe in āforcingā anything and love to create a strong bond of mutual respect and trust . I practice positive discipline regardless of age or situation and donāt believe in hitting or yelling belittling/shaming and will ONLY raise my voice if itās keeping your little one away from danger (fire,cars, sharp objects). I can cook, meal prep, run errands, laundry, I love cleaning but your child will ALWAYS be my number one priority! Iāve always been expected to tidy/clean whilst caring for little ones so I build that into my routine (often talking your child through it with me or having them help me with small tasks) I do have experience with special diets (soy free/gluten free/dairy free, vegan/vegatarian, halal) and allergies.

Hi -My name is Gladys. Iāve 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.
āGladys 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.ā
Short break from teaching! I am fully open all week. Iām flexible every other weekend. HI! Iām AJ and my pronouns are they/them. I am a 31-old open minded and patient person with over 15 years of experience. I hold a Bachelors degree in Environmental Sciences, a Masters in Education, and I teach High School science full time. I specialize in racial minority groups, LGBTQIA+ families, foster/adoptive families, newborns, and multiples but I have experience in just about all things childcare including overnights. My mom has owned a daycare and been a foster care parent for my entire life. I have years of experience with children of all ages and from all backgrounds. As my mother's direct assistant I am licensed with DCFS and certified in early childhood courses through Gateways. My wife and I have a wide variety of animals at home and am able to provide care for any pets present in the homes I work in. I enjoy going outside and walking, making sure to keep the children engaged. I also have experience as a summer camp counselor and a special education paraprofessional. My wife and I are foster parents and we love welcoming new kiddos into our family. Lastly, I am CPR/First Aid certified, up to date on all vaccines including COVID and I have received the booster as well. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out!
āAJ did a wonderful job with our baby and was very warm and caring! ā
I started nannying because of my love for helping children grow and form gentle understandings that they can take with them throughout life. I first began assisting some neighborhood moms back in junior high which soon led to me being their go-to sitter. Thatās when I obtained the certificates essential to legitimize the job. Ever since then, Iāve had only positive experiences and have grown a strong love for being around kids. In my time watching children, I love to keep them stimulated both physically and mentally so I like to incorporate yoga as well as other art forms into our time together (:
My name is Miranda M., and I have been a caregiver for over 13 years. Caring for others is something that I truly enjoy doing. I not only make every effort to please the client who is seeking a quality professional, I listen to the needs and likes of the other clients, the children. I am a CPR, AED, lifeguard certified under the American Red Cross. I have cared for children from 6 mos to 14 yrs old. I can help families with daily care, weekend or date night relief, overnight care and after school activities. I am happy to prepare set meals, pack lunches for school, tidy up after the kids and oversee nightly bedtime routine. I have extensive experience with all age groups as a sitter and as a lifeguard. Understanding the household rules and expectations is something that creates an environment where everyone feels safe and understood. Activities include enjoying the outdoors as long as the weather permits. Getting fresh air and sunshine does the soul good. I love the museum campus and the Shedd aquarium is one of my favorites. I have a passion for soccer, but am open to all sporting activities and learning new things. I Majored in Classical Voice Performance, so singing is literally my forte! I can offer singing lessons, theater and acting coaching, basic dance knowledge and always willing to learn new moves. I am happy to follow a tutor curriculum or offer school work support. I am a great baker and I make the perfect fluffy scrambled eggs (cooking is not limited here). Along with all my training through the American Red Cross, I have also completed two Care Giver Instruction Courses. My senior care experience has been limited to more along the lines of a Senior Companion. I have meal prepped, errand running, dog walking, and serve as an excellent Gold Fish player and a book reader. I believe everyone truly deserves a companion no matter how old they are. I try to offer companionship with a tender heart. Working for the elderly, takes compassion, patience, and empathy. I have had experience with both cats, and dogs. With proper instruction I am happy to feed your goldfish. I will walk, feed, play, cuddle and wash your fur baby ( I am not certified to cut hair or clip nails). I will walk you pet to the groomer or vet when required. Size of cat and or dog does not matter. Shedding happens. No worries I own a lint roller and lots of tide pods.
āMiranda is amazing. I say this because she always amazes me with her patience, kindness and compassion that she displays every day. It takes more to be an excellent sitter than being cpr certified. Which she is. It takes the gift of understanding people and helping them be the best versions of themselves. I have seen her do this time and time again with children of all ages and older adults. You will not be disappointed working with Miranda. Plus she has the attitude of leaving a place better than when she arrived, which always makes clients happy.ā

"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
