Hi there! I’m Nataly, I’m 25.I study biology at UIC. I’ve worked with multiple families around the Chicago area. I was a part time Pre-K teacher back in my home country. I currently work for a wonderful family in River North soon to relocate to Roscoe Village. My Schedule allows me to babysit for date nights during the week after 5pm. And weekends at any time needed. I’m a very creative and calm person. I thrive on an easy going chill environment. I love to get to know every single kiddo I have babysat and my goal is o make them comfortable as well as your parents. I’ve work as a full time nanny for around 6 years but I have about 9 years of experience with nannying and babysitting. I’m able to take care of up to 4 kids if Ages are between 2 and 12. Only 2 if they are under 2 years old. I’m CPR trained. Speak Spanish and English both fluent. Drivers license and clean record. Pre-K teacher experience Have worked for 20+ families in the Chicago area Happy to provide references. Open to weekend arrangements or school drop off and pick ups within my range of work. Would love to connect with more families! Let’s chat!

Nataly was absolutely wonderful. Our 2 year old gave her a glowing review. His bedtime routine is kind of a nightmare, and Nataly was able to manage it better than Mom and Dad. Highly reccomend.

Booked by 1 family in Chicago, IL

Hi! My name is Venessa and I love kids. I have 10 years of experience working with children outside of the experience I have with family. I have worked with kids of all ages. Most of the families I have worked for I have also assisted with cleaning, cooking, organizing and walking dogs. I have worked in both New York and Los Angeles.

Venessa was amazing with my 2-year-old son! She stepped in at the last minute when my original sitter canceled, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was reliable, caring, and immediately made my son feel comfortable. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.

"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
