Hi my name is Paige , I am currently a Senior at DePaul. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting kids ages 4 weeks+ for over 4 years. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have also tutored so wouldn’t mind helping with homework. I like to keep kids entertained and engaged with interactive games, reading, music etc. I also enjoy playing sports and keeping them active! I also don’t mind cleaning/ tidying up, preparing meals, and helping with bedtime routine. Although, I don’t have a car I do have a license and clean driving record, so if provided a car I wouldn’t mind picking up or driving the kids around! I have had dogs growing up my whole life, so I don’t mind watching or caring for dogs at all!

Hello! My name is Taeryn and I am in Chicago for the month! I have been nannying for 13 years. I am 34 years old and I have worked with all kinds of families and learned a lot from them. I also have experience in housekeeping as well. I’m passionate about media and worked on a children’s tv show on Apple TV+ for the last year and a half. Working with children has taught me a lot about people and how to learn from others. I studied writing for television and producing so I'm always willing to embrace creativity and encourage others to learn and take chances. I have done after school care, overnight care and date night sitting as well! I am looking for full time/part time and date nights around 15-40 hours a week and 20-25 an hr. I would love to speak to you!

Taeryn is amazing. My son absolutely loved his time with her. While he is often shy the first time meeting someone, he wasn’t at all with her, and warmed up to her immediately. Highly recommended!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
