Isis $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Isis, and I am currently pursuing my nursing degree, which has deepened my understanding of child development and care. With over 5 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, including those with disabilities and on the autism spectrum, I am passionate about creating a nurturing and supportive environment for every child. I believe that every child is unique, and I take joy in teaching and watching them learn and grow. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, helping with homework, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make each interaction meaningful and enjoyable. My background in nursing allows me to prioritize safety and health while fostering a positive and enriching experience. I delight in helping with cleaning and meal preparation. I’m excited to connect with families and contribute to the growth and happiness of your children!

Hello, My name is Dorah and I am a senior at Saint Mary's College with a Physics major and a Philosophy minor. I would love to help out in any way that I can and I love children; that is why I am on UrbanSitter. I am a daughter of 5 hailing from a southern suburb of Chicago. I have taken care of my younger sister in her younger years and I take care of my grandfather whenever I am home. I am very experienced in taking care of children of all ages and have a good bit of my experience sitting a 3 and 7 year old in the south bend area with past experience sitting as young as 2 years old. I also have experience sitting a 9 year old non-verbal girl with autism. Please let mw know if you have anymore questions and I would love to talk!

“Dorah was on time which I appreciated, when she got to our home my little guy was taking a nap. My little guy took a nap most of the time that Dorah at our home. When he got up she followed all the instructions to feed him his lunch, she was communicative, and even sent me a picture of my little guy smiling. Thank you Dorah! ”

My name is Kayla. I’m a Chicago native with a background in hospitality. I began working as a CNA in high school at 16 and have been caring for people of different backgrounds since. I briefly studied children’s developmental sciences at NYU. I’ve worked with geriatric patients, patients with visual and physical impairments, developmental delays such as autism as well as some with memory loss disorders. I have 12 siblings and have cared for my nieces and nephews endlessly over the years. My most recent care has been with my nephew who is autistic, 5 now, who was fed via gtube for the first 2 years of his life. I love working with children and being hands on. I’m outgoing, personable and funny. I’m the life of the party when necessary but I handle my business with utmost care.

“I definitely recommend hiring Iris. She is one of the best sitters I’ve gotten from this app. I needed last minute care for both my children (one with autism) and she was amazing. She was on time and very reliable, the moment I met her she seemed awesome and a great fit. She brought my kids an activity to do with them. Kept everything clean and organized. I trusted her with my kids right off the bat! Throughout the night she kept me updated with pictures and texts. Very flexible as well when I asked to keep her a bit longer. I really appreciate working with sitters like her. ”

"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."

"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)."
