August 2026 Dear Parents and precious little ones, My name is Miss Louise. I am a licensed teacher and a Professional Nanny. Especially fond of newborns! Families find I am an attentive, smart, and a caring Nanny/House manager. My Bachelors degree in Nutrition is from Benedictine University. I have experience in schools. My availability is mostly weekdays. I have experience sleep training/night Nanny. If you accept my application and book my care for your child note: 1. I have a 5-consecutive hours minimum per day. 2. If you cancel with less than 24hrs notice please pay for the hours you booked. 😁 I am available more hours in the summers. ā—One of my favorite children's book is The Alphabet Tree. ā—I have managed vacation rental properties and I have household manager experience. ā—I am first-aid certified BLS/AED as a professional for infants, children and adults. ā—Comfortable around pets. I recommend this book as well: Besos de sol, abrazos de luna: Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs by Susan Schaefer Bernardo. This book helps children feel connected to loved ones who are far away, assuring them they share the same sky and moon. Thank you for accepting my application! Best care Nanny, Miss Louise

ā€œLouise was wonderful to work with! I hired Louise for a 2-day event with other caregivers, and she worked with our babies. She was very thorough and thoughtful, and I knew our littles were in great hands with her and her expertise.ā€

Hello, I am currently available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Hope something works out! :) I have experience working with little ones, adolescents, and adults with special needs in various settings. I've worked taking care of kids for years. I love kids; they're all unique and fun. I prefer to work with older children versus infants. If needed, I would send updates to the parents about how the day is going with pictures. Although it is more than worth my time and energy to care for your little one, it is important that I am compensated for the time originally agreed upon, even if you arrive earlier. I do require a 24-hour cancellation notice. I reserved that special time just for you. I am bilingual and have been told that people are very receptive to me. Look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank You! :)) (updated 07/2026)

HELLO HELLO!! Before I blab about myself, I’d like to first extend a warm welcome and hug of encouragement! Raising little people can be ROUGH and we’re all doing the best we can, which is why I’m so passionate about ā€œThe Villageā€ ! It takes a community to raise decent human beings. That’s where I come in! My experience dates back to over a decade. I’ve worked with kids ranging between preemie infants to transitioning young adults, including disabled & special need individualsšŸ’›šŸ’™šŸ„° I’m looking for a full time long term family to grow with as a nanny or full/part time babysitting. I’m usually flexible, and always easy going. Reliable, alert, and safe.

ā€œChanyelle was wonderful and very caring. She was calm, patient, and attentive while watching over my sleeping kids. She made sure they were safe and comfortable throughout the night and kept the house peaceful and organized. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my children were in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and reliability, and i would gladly recommend her to other families.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."

"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."
