Booked by 34 families in Cicero, IL

Hello I'm Maria! I am a dedicated and detail-oriented nanny with over 9 years of experience, starting in 2016. My passion for providing a safe, fun, and educational environment for children has been a key driver in my work. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences that promote learning while ensuring that kids are having fun. I am highly organized, follow schedules closely, and work to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in good hands. As a COVID-19-conscious professional, I have all my vaccines up to date and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. My experience is very diverse as I have worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and older aged kids, as well with multiples(twins) and multiple siblings. I'm also available on weekday evenings should you ever need help then. I am comfortable working around pets as well. I am bilingual in Spanish as well. In addition to child care, I'm able to help with preparing meals, light housekeeping, and laundry. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family more. Thank you!

Kids had a fantastic time! 10/10!

Booked by 9 families in Cicero, IL

Hi, my name is Samia and I'm currently a student studying to become a nurse, with the goal of specializing in pediatric care. I am offering child care services. I have experience caring for children from ages 1 to 8 years old, including helping with feeding, dressing, playtime, reading, school drop-offs/pickups, and bedtime routines. I truly enjoy spending time with children, and I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for them. My goal is always to support both the child's emotional and physical development while keeping things fun and age-appropriate. I am CPR certified and well-versed in safety procedures for children. In addition to caregiving, I'm comfortable with pets-I have a dog myself-and understand how important they are to a family. I also have practical skills in cooking, cleaning, and I'm happy to drive to appointments or run errands as needed. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones!

Sam was able to help us out on short notice when we had a last minute cancellation of our child care, and she was great with the kids. We would definitely have her over again!

Booked by 7 families in Cicero, IL

My name is Miranda M., and I have been a caregiver for over 13 years. Caring for others is something that I truly enjoy doing. I not only make every effort to please the client who is seeking a quality professional, I listen to the needs and likes of the other clients, the children. I am a CPR, AED, lifeguard certified under the American Red Cross. I have cared for children from 6 mos to 14 yrs old. I can help families with daily care, weekend or date night relief, overnight care and after school activities. I am happy to prepare set meals, pack lunches for school, tidy up after the kids and oversee nightly bedtime routine. I have extensive experience with all age groups as a sitter and as a lifeguard. Understanding the household rules and expectations is something that creates an environment where everyone feels safe and understood. Activities include enjoying the outdoors as long as the weather permits. Getting fresh air and sunshine does the soul good. I love the museum campus and the Shedd aquarium is one of my favorites. I have a passion for soccer, but am open to all sporting activities and learning new things. I Majored in Classical Voice Performance, so singing is literally my forte! I can offer singing lessons, theater and acting coaching, basic dance knowledge and always willing to learn new moves. I am happy to follow a tutor curriculum or offer school work support. I am a great baker and I make the perfect fluffy scrambled eggs (cooking is not limited here). Along with all my training through the American Red Cross, I have also completed two Care Giver Instruction Courses. My senior care experience has been limited to more along the lines of a Senior Companion. I have meal prepped, errand running, dog walking, and serve as an excellent Gold Fish player and a book reader. I believe everyone truly deserves a companion no matter how old they are. I try to offer companionship with a tender heart. Working for the elderly, takes compassion, patience, and empathy. I have had experience with both cats, and dogs. With proper instruction I am happy to feed your goldfish. I will walk, feed, play, cuddle and wash your fur baby ( I am not certified to cut hair or clip nails). I will walk you pet to the groomer or vet when required. Size of cat and or dog does not matter. Shedding happens. No worries I own a lint roller and lots of tide pods.

Miranda is amazing. I say this because she always amazes me with her patience, kindness and compassion that she displays every day. It takes more to be an excellent sitter than being cpr certified. Which she is. It takes the gift of understanding people and helping them be the best versions of themselves. I have seen her do this time and time again with children of all ages and older adults. You will not be disappointed working with Miranda. Plus she has the attitude of leaving a place better than when she arrived, which always makes clients happy.

"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)."
