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 🤍

Hi! My name is Rita and I am a dedicated and highly experienced nanny with over 22 years of hands on childcare experience. Caring for children has truly become a lifelong passion of mine. I am a proud mom of two daughters, 20 and 21 so I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving and structured environment where children can grow and thrive. Over the past 13 years, I have worked with families long term, typically staying for 3+ years which has allowed me to build trusting relationships with both children and parents. My background includes everything from infant care to supporting school aged children with routines, activities and emotional development. I also love incorporating learning into everyday activities and have experience teaching Spanish to children in a fun and engaging way. I especially enjoy planning arts and crafts and other child enrichment activities that encourage creativity and development. I’m known for being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy creating engaging, nurturing experiences for the kids I care for. I treat every child like family. I would love the opportunity to support your family! I have references available upon request!

Rita is very friendly and good with kids. My 3.5 year old loved spending time with her. 10/10 wholeheartedly recommend!

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!

Greetings! My name is Daniela — I’m 28 years old and have been nannying for over 7 years now. I’ve worked with families in both short- and long-term roles, and I take my responsibilities seriously. I believe caring for children requires not just reliability and patience, but also genuine care and respect for both the kids and their families. I love engaging little ones in activities that support their development — from puzzles and reading to homework help and play that encourages curiosity. A couple fun facts about me: I’m a big country music lover and a proud Cubs fan.

"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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
