Hi families! I’m Emily 👋🏼 A loving, experienced nanny with 10+ years in childcare. I began babysitting in college, earned my Bachelor’s in English, and went on to teach Pre-K and elementary students in Spain. 🇪🇸 Later, I pursued my Master’s in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Education. I’ve worked in classrooms ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade and am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities. I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports kids’ social-emotional development and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities include reading, yoga, outdoor play, crafts, and long walks! I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to practice with your little ones. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am great with pets. Since I teach during the school year, I’m currently available for seasonal summer care, with ongoing availability for evening and weekend babysitting. I’d love to build a warm, trusted relationship with your family! Warmly, Emily 🤍

July 2026 Dear Parents and precious little ones, My name is Louise. I am a licensed teacher and attentive, experienced Nanny. Especially fond of newborns! Families find I am an attentive, smart, and a caring Nanny/House manager. My Bachelors degree in Nutrition is from Benedictine University. I have experience in schools. My availability is mostly weekdays. I have experience sleep training/night Nanny. If you accept my application and book my care for your child note: 1. I have a 5-consecutive hours minimum per day. 2. If you cancel with less than 24hrs notice please pay for the hours you booked. 😁 I am available more hours in the summers. ●One of my favorite children's book is The Alphabet Tree. ●I have managed vacation rental properties and I have household manager experience. ●I am first-aid certified BLS/AED as a professional for infants, children and adults. ●Comfortable around pets. I recommend this book as well: Besos de sol, abrazos de luna: Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs by Susan Schaefer Bernardo. This book helps children feel connected to loved ones who are far away, assuring them they share the same sky and moon. Best care Nanny, Miss Louise

Miss Louise took extra care to ask questions about some of our toddlers favorite colors and toys etc, to help make connections. She engaged with our daughter, asked careful questions about diet, meals, routines, allergies, screen time, etc. At the end of the day she'd made a wonderful lunch for both of us, helped clean up the toys and dishes used during the day, and brought such a calm presence to the house. My toddler absolutely adores her, and I couldn't have been happier!

Hi! I’m Jessica, a UIC graduate student with 10+ years of childcare experience. I’m a 5-star sitter trusted by families for being reliable, nurturing, and engaging. I’m comfortable caring for infants through toddlers, managing multiple children, handling diaper changes, mealtime cleanup, and planning age-appropriate, fun activities. I love building genuine connections with both kids and parents and always create a safe, happy environment. I’d love to support your family!

Jessica was amazing with our 6 month old. We were looking for a sitter last minute and she came through. She was punctual, communicative and professional. You can tell Jessica is a natural with babies and enjoys being around them.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
