I’m a responsible, caring, and creative nanny with experience caring for children of all ages. I’m currently working part-time with a family caring for two young girls, and I’m looking to complement my schedule with additional hours. I love planning educational activities, crafts, and games that support children’s development. I also help with light household tasks and keep things organized. I speak Spanish and English, and I’m committed to creating a safe, respectful, and loving environment for every child in my care.

Booked by 6 families in Berkeley, IL

Caring and reliable childcare provider with over 2 years of experience supporting children across different ages and personalities. I create a warm, structured environment where kids feel safe, engaged, and excited to learn. With a background in teaching and activity planning, I love organizing creative play, outdoor time, and educational moments that support each child’s development. I’m patient, proactive, and attentive to routines, safety, and emotional well-being—making sure both children and parents feel confident and at ease.

“Marifer was amazing! We hired her to keep an eye on our 3-year-old so that we could focus on packing our stuff for our upcoming move, and she did far far more than just keep an eye on her! It was a very hot day, so Ava constantly wanted to go to the playground, and then back home once she felt hot. Marifer humored her every single time, and they ended up going to the playground and back 5 times in the same day!! Ava had an amazing day, and now all she’s doing is asking when Marifer is coming back. 😊”

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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

"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)."
