Iris 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Wilmette, IL

Hello! I have experience in childcare, as a mother I understand and comprehend the requirements and attention that children demand, I can help with easy tasks around the house such as preparing food for the children, basic cleaning, running errands, taking the kids to extracurricular activities, I also love pets, I have full-time availability from Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 2:30pm, my main language is Spanish but I understand English at 50%.

“Iris has been part of our family for two years, and it's hard to imagine our kids' early years without her. She started caring for our daughter Luna at just 3 months old, and when our son Atlas arrived about six months later, she took him on too, managing two infants without missing a beat. What sets Iris apart is how naturally she's become family, not just childcare. She reads both kids incredibly well, adapting to their different personalities and needs, and handled the jump from one baby to two with a calm we didn't know was possible. One thing we especially value is that Iris speaks to our children in Spanish, giving them real bilingual exposure from infancy. If you're looking for a professional nanny who will genuinely love your children and grow with your family, Iris is exactly that. We recommend her without hesitation.”

Mickayla $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kia and I have 10+ years of working with children, infants, and newborns. I am an elementary school social worker who specializes in social and emotional child development skills and special education. Before becoming a social worker, I worked as a daycare teacher, nanny, and babysitter. I aim to ensure the children I care for are safe but that they are having fun and continuously learning. I enjoy taking the children I care for to the park, new activities, and teaching them new concepts/developmental skills. I look forward to connecting!

Northwest Chicago/Suburbs Bilingual Nanny Available ✨ I am Sky, your new dependable, caring, communicative candidate..here to offer my babysitting/nannying services. I am 20 years old, currently a part time student and homemaker. I have experience with children of all ages, since I was about 12. This ranges from volunteering in a daycare setting with ages 2-5 (prior to working age), tutoring math to elementary students, babysitting for family, current nanny to one family once a week (looking for more!) and being a mom to one sweet toddler. I am a: NON-SMOKER CPR/FIRST AID CERTIFIED BILINGUAL IN ENGLISH/SPANISH FULLY VACCINATED, CLEAN BACKGROUND CHECK. Willing to show proof of anything. I can provide age-appropriate activities, work on developmental milestones, hands-on learning, light housework, meal prep. I do not drive, but I have reliable transportation and am willing to travel within 10 miles of 60[removed]4. I would love to continue to build my career in nannying/childcare and would appreciate the experience, plus creating a bond with your little! Given children are so absorbent in these ages, I love teaching new skills/information or working on what they may already need help with. I believe teaching is best taught through play and made fun. I am available for one time jobs or consistent care. My rate is $20-25/hr. I can care for up to 3-4 total children, an example of what I have experience with handling at once is one infant and the rest were toddler/older age. I look forward to hearing from someone interested. As a parent myself, I know how it feels making sure you leave your precious world in the right hands. And to you I say, hakuna matata. 😉🤗 Thank you and have a blessed day.

Sarah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sarah. I am a career childcare professional with over 30 years of experience supporting children and families from the newborn stage through adolescence. My work is rooted in consistency, emotional awareness, and creating environments where children feel safe, engaged, and truly understood. In addition to my extensive nanny background, I am also a trained full spectrum doula, childbirth educator, and lactation educator. This allows me to offer a deeper level of support, especially for families with newborns, infants, and those navigating postpartum transitions. I have supported hundreds of families throughout Chicago and bring a calm, knowledgeable presence into the home during both everyday routines and more complex seasons of life. My areas of expertise include newborn and infant care, establishing feeding and sleep rhythms, toddler development, preschool readiness, and supporting school-aged children with structured routines and homework. I have significant experience working with neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, and learning differences. I focus on emotional regulation, connection-based care, and helping children build confidence and independence at their own pace. I am highly experienced in managing the day-to-day flow of a household. This includes school pickup and drop-off, activity coordination, meal preparation, organization, and maintaining predictable routines that support both children and parents. I am comfortable in homes with pets and in environments where parents work from home, and I adapt easily to each family’s unique rhythm. Families often describe me as grounded, intuitive, and deeply reliable. I value clear communication, mutual respect, and building long-term, trusting relationships. I am CPR and First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. I also follow a gluten-free lifestyle and am comfortable supporting families with dietary needs and food sensitivities. At the heart of my work is the belief that children thrive when they feel secure, seen, and supported, and that families deserve care that is both professional and deeply human. I would love the opportunity to connect and learn more about how I can support your family.

Isabella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Bella, an aspiring actor who just graduated from Florida Int. University and recently moved to Chicago! I moved from Florida where I gained 3 years of experience as a summer camp counselor, 2 year of tutoring, 3 years of children’s voice lesson, and a case of chronic baby fever. I also have 5 years of experience in children’s entertainment, where I performed as many characters from children’s shows so I’m fully equipped to take over your next Frozen sing-along, you deserve a break 💗 My goal is always fun learning. With a background in theatre, I’ve understood how important it is for kids to have an outlet while learning respect, kindness, and compassion. As a nanny, I hope to add that extra sprinkle to their everyday lives while also providing the essentials. I have also grown up around animals like dogs, turtles, and am currently a mother to the world’s cutest dwarf hamster! I feel completely comfortable around animals if you have a furry friend around! I have 8 years of experience with volunteer work so I’m highly empathetic towards family situations and understand that it makes the world of a difference to have a helping hand. I would love to provide that service.

"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."
