Kaitlyn $20 per hour for 1 child

Since the age of 14, I've been passionate about childcare, starting with training at my local library. I stayed active throughout my four years of high school by doing gymnastics. In high school I also took 2 full years of Early Childhood Studies including a preschool class where we did lesson planning and taught preschoolers all subjects.By 15, I began working at a restaurant in arlington heights, where I stayed for a bit over three years. During this time, I also took small courses in childcare and realized my true calling was to become a nanny. I’m bilingual and enjoy teaching the little ones a bit! In my free time I like to read on my mini kindle ipad.I also gained experience in retail and Athleta and am now in my first year of college, majoring in psychology.

Hi. My name is Tiffany, and I offer child care and cat care. I babysat throughout middle school, high school, and this year, and I have watched babies 6 months and older, toddlers, and elementary school kids. My responsibilities included feeding them, giving them a bath, changing their diapers, reading to them, playing with them, putting them to bed, and helping with their homework.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
