Hello! My name is Hannah, and it is so great to virtually meet you! A bit about me: I am originally from Missouri, but moved to Chicago about 12 years ago to pursue theater and comedy in city. I am currently a working actor, but have been nannying for the past decade to supplement income. I have worked with many amazing families who I am still very close to! When I am not performing I enjoy staying very active, being outside, cooking and baking, playing and writing music, and exploring and enjoying the city with friends. I am currently looking for Part Time to Full Time work with the right family. I am also available to occasional bookings as well! I am very reliable and take my commitments with family's seriously. I like to help out my families any way that I can, whether that is helping with housework, cooking meals, organizing projects, and of course keeping their children happy and engaged! I am a strong believer in creativity and fun, and try my best to always incorporate that into time when I am working a job. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have for me, and look forward to potentially meeting your family!

Greetings! Since the age of thirteen I knew I wanted to work with children. I have been and currently am a camp counselor, lead daycare teacher, babysitter, church choir director, and Sunday School teacher. I love building relationships with young minds and supporting them as they learn to navigate the world around them. I love music, nature, traveling, and interior designing -all of which I incorporate into my babysitting routine! I am outgoing, energetic, creative, and passionate about everything I do! My fellow peers often comment on my ability to “Light up a room” given my gifts to connect with people, maintain a positive spirit, and have a contagious joy. I look forward to connecting with you! Sincerely, Laila

Hi! I'm Fariani—but most parents end up calling me Mary Poppins. 😊 Caring for children is more than a job to me—it's my passion. I'm a warm, reliable, and patient nanny with experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including 4 years working with a child with special needs with feeding tube. I also speak several languages French is my native language. I love creating fun, engaging, and educational days through reading, arts & crafts, parks, museums, board games, homework help, and teaching French. My priority is to provide a safe, loving environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I'm also happy to prepare healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, and maintain open, honest communication with parents. I'm looking for a family that values kindness, trust, and teamwork. Experience: Professional Nanny Babysitter French Teacher at a Daycare 4 years caring for a child with special needs

"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)."
