Hello, My name is Kiana and I am a fun loving, hardworking, energetic, and responsible professor/writer from Alabama. I graduated with my MFA in Screenwriting from AFI in 2021. I will be on sabbatical from my role as a professor at Cornell University and transitioning to the Chicago area. Looking for short term roles. I was a nanny and household manager all through college and grad school from 2012 to 2021. I genuinely love children and typically choose to pick up nanny gigs in the summer when I am on break from teaching. I am super organized and very responsible. I absolutely love children. I have extensive experience with children who are special needs or preemies. Open to range of roles. I have over a decade of professional experience. I have been CPR certified over 8 times. I have references from my summer nanny gig last year in LA. I am reliable and I am looking for a family who is as well. Feel free to reach out. I'd love to connect.

Excellent communicator and professional.

Hi! My name is Nicole. I am originally from Orange County, Calfornia. I received my BA in Psychology from Princeton University in 2012, completed a post-baccalaureate program at Harvard in 2015, and earned my MD from the University of Southern California (fight on!) in 2021. I moved to Chicago in June of 2021 for general surgery residency at Northwestern and am currently completing two years of academic development time, which encompasses conducting research and pursuing my Master of Science in Health Services and Outcomes Research. I am the middle child between two brothers and started babysitting when I was 12 years old. I have cared for children of all ages (from infants to teenagers) and feel very comfortable watching multiple children at a time. I was a volunteer in the pediatrics unit at Massachusetts General Hospital for three years and have done extensive coursework in child development, which included frequent visits to a preschool in New Jersey as well as the Eden Institute for children with Autism. Additionally, I have completed several pediatric surgery rotations in residency and am well-versed in pediatric medical care. I have a great deal of experience in childcare from many years of babysitting, volunteering, and schooling and love children very much. Some of my favorite activities to do with the children I care for include reading, puzzles, arts and crafts, dress up, playing classical music, dancing, going to the park, practicing numbers/colors/letters, baking, and coloring. I also love to cook and have no issue preparing snacks, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Communicative, lovely, and flexible. Sounds like our son had a great day with her!

Hi parents, welcome to my page! My name is Maria and I would love to assist you with childcare. I have been working in childcare for the last ten years and I have experience with children ages newborn to thirteen years old. For the last five years I worked with a family as their full time nanny. With that family I assisted in school drop offs/pick ups, infant care, toddler care, potty training, meal prepping, light house keeping, homework help, etc. I am searching for my next full time family, but for the time being I am happy to help out with one off babysitting dates and date nights. I love to go on walks, go to the park, read, do board games, and do arts and crafts. I am more than happy to help out around the house and I am very flexible with start and end times. Thank you for your consideration. Have a great day and good luck in your search! **Please note that I have a three hour minimum when it comes to bookings. Thank you!

Maria was quick to respond, arrived on time and was able to make my kids (ages 3 and 5) feel comfortable right away. She was great and we will asking her to babysit again soon!

"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)."
