Hi parents! My name is Donna. I am looking for a full-time, part time or date night job. I have a lot of experience, taking care of newborns to school age children. I love to play games and do hands-on activities with them . I’m a honest, loving, caring, nurturing, energetic, flexible and a fun person. I truly love being a nanny. I have Early Child Development courses that I took. I am CPR certified. I can help out with light house duties. I have a lot of experience with meal prep and bed time routines. I always clean up before I go home. I have taken care of multiple children in the past and I still watch them from time to time. I have steller reviews. I can't wait to hear from all the parents. 😊 Thank you for your time!

Donna is a joy to have as a nanny! She is incredibly reliable, punctual, and communicative. She is so attentive, friendly, fun, and kind in all her interactions with both me and my child. She genuinely cares for people and is a true baby whisperer. She is very knowledgeable about developmental milestones and is a skilled teacher in supporting a child’s development. She is collaborative, both taking initiative on tasks that need to be done while taking direction well. She is a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny or a sitter!

Booked by 124 families in Niles, IL

My name is Rida, nice to meet you 😊 Families would describe me as trustworthy, communicative, flexible, and kind. I’m am CPR certified, a non smoker, and have over 9 years of experience. I’m 28 years old and a Chicago native! I grew up in Rogers park and now live in the North suburbs! I currently work full time downtown on a hybrid schedule. I have availability on weekends (morning and/or night). I do have my own car and work with families across the city and select suburbs! I graduated from Depaul University in 2020 in political science. I also have an Illinois Teacher’s substitute license. I have been on Urbansitter since 2017 as I started off doing date nights while in undergrad. I had multiple part time families before COVID, as well as some families during that eventually moved out of Chicago. I have families where i have done overnights for while parents are away, as well as pet/house sitting. I have experience with hotel sitting for weddings or while parents may be from out of town! I am comfortable working with 4-5 kiddos at a time- as I have experience working with different ages at once! On the day of the booking, I will make sure to update you on the kid(s) to ensure that they are in good hands :) I come from a big family that are all located in the Chicagoland area. My mom is a teacher in the city so, I get many of my great skills from her! I also help raised my little sister, who is now 18 years old :) Looking forward to meeting you! I am always open to a quick phone call or a working session to get to know your family and to see if it’s a good fit!

Rida watched our 2 boys (ages 11 months & 4 yrs) and she was amazing! Our oldest already asked when he can play with her again ❤️
