Hi there, my name is Becca! I am a registered nurse and a recent graduate of North Park University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing l. I have experience with newborns to preteens. I have worked in a nursery for the past 9 years and through this experience I have learned to take on a very patient, kind, calm, adaptable, creative nature to connect with children. I enjoy implementing milestone activities with young children along with reading books, and doing arts and crafts during our time. In my own free time I love to bake, hike, read, and travel. I also am a lover of animals! I am newer to UrbanSitter and I would greatly appreciate an opportunity! I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with your family and to get to know your children! Best- Becca (she/her) Provided Upon Request- Proof of CPR/BLS certification, Covid-19 Vaccination, & References/Resume

Hands down best sitter! Becca was on time and immediately jumped in getting to know our kids. She had no problem navigating bedtime and tidied up. We appreciated her flexibility and communication but most impressive, she really engaged our kiddos right when she walked through the door.

Hi families! ☀️ I’m Edna, an experienced nanny/babysitter with a background in early childhood development (Malcolm X College) and several years working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor play, crafts, reading, and fun hands-on activities. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable driving kids to activities, helping with routines, and supporting busy families however I can. If you’re looking for summer support or part-time care, I’d love to connect!

Edna has been serving as our two-year-old daughter's regular part-time nanny for the past six months or so, and she's been an absolute joy. She is not only teaching my kiddo Spanish, but she keeps her engaged in arts and crafts activities and works with her on good habits like picking up her toys. She is very sensitive and in tune with our daughter's emotions, and every morning my daughter races to the door in excitement to see her. She is a true natural with children, and she is responsive and communicative with my husband and me.
