Hi! I’m a graduate student located in Chicago with over 10 years of childcare experience and an educational background in public health and psychology. I have held several nannying positions as well as being a regular date night sitter or anything inbetween. I am comfortable with children of all ages, particularly infants and toddlers, but I enjoy working with older children as well. I have some experience with children with physical and developmental disabilities that can be discussed further. For multiple years in college I was an ACT tutor and test prep tutor and worked with kids 10+ yrs old 1-on-1. I also used a childcare app “Wyndy”, where I babysat for at least 30 different families through out the years and have several pre-made reviews I can show you. I am the oldest of 7 as well so besides having professional experience with children, I really love just working with kids, having fun with them & supporting their development. As a caregiver I would describe myself as warm, open-minded, and encouraging of children’s’ curiosity. I love going outdoors with kids on walks, to museums, etc, but also know how to entertain at home. I pride myself on making sure kids feel as understood and respected as possible and am open to matching parenting styles. I’m comfortable with many different childcare situations and am open to discuss opportunities. I have a vehicle, am up to date on vaccinations, and no pet allergies. Let me know if you have any other questions! **AVAILABILITY: For Spring 2026, I am regularly unavailable on M and W afternoons due to my classes

Hi, my name is Janice and I am offering tutoring, babysitting, housesitting, and/or pet sitting services. I am from Ohio but moved to Chicago 3 years ago. I attended Miami University and received my degree in Early Childhood Education. While I was in school I was completing semester-long placements in a variety of classrooms with students ages raging from infant to 8 years old. I was also working a rotation at a few daycares as a substitute in the summers for 3 years. Since I have graduated in 2020, I have taught third and fourth grade. I just finished my fourth year as a teacher. I love being able to spend time with kids, teaching them while watching them learn and grow each day.

“Seeing Janice study and become a teacher all based on her love and betterment of kids has been such an inspiration to watch. Kids are her passion and she puts her heart into her job and her family. She is a perfect example of what a family looks for in a babysitter”

Why Parents Trust Me: ✔ CPR & First Aid Knowledge (in process of certification getting but I know how to do save life in case) ✔ Experienced with infants, toddlers, and older kids ✔ Engaging activities that promote learning & fun ✔ Strong references from happy families ✔ Reliable, punctual, and always communicative I love the opportunity to support as many families as I can and give peace of mind knowing little ones are in great hands. Feel free to reach out with any other questions and need references.

"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."

"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)."
