I have a well-rounded background in childcare, household management, and pet care.  I have worked with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers.

I gave the child baths and bottles, and helped with developmental skills like tummy time, crawling, and walking.  On a personal level, I am the oldest of 5 children with a large extended family. I have nannied for my cousins and family friends every summer for the last 7 years. My childcare style is safe, nurturing, play-based, and responsive. I enjoy child-led learning, outdoor adventures, creative arts and crafts, reading, board games, and supporting kids with homework.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Wilmette, IL

Hello! My name is Chloe and I've been working in childcare since I was practically a child myself! Nothing brings me more joy and fulfillment than caring for children, and watching them learn, play and grow. Outside of childcare, I am very passionate about art, theater and travel, and I incorporate these passions into my education and care. I love doing both structured and free form art activities with children, and I believe art, dance and music are fundamental to a child's development. I also have lived abroad in both Costa Rica and Guatemala, and enjoy speaking/teaching Spanish to the children I care for, while also opening them up to cultures from around the world. If you are looking for a nanny who is energetic, warm, creative, and will love your child like their own, then we might be a great fit!

"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."
