Rosanne Skokie
$22 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly experienced, well/educated (Masters degree), kind, patient, warm, and fun caregiver. I have worked with families with children ranging in age from 2 months to middle school age. I have completed pediatric first aid and CPR training. The parents for whom I have recently worked include a clinical psychologist/professor at Northwestern, a nursing instructor at Loyola, and a neonatologist in residency at Northwestern. I’m happy to provide references. I genuinely love spending my time with children of all ages. Whenever the weather allows, I take kids out for long nature walks. I also enjoy encouraging kids to express themselves artistically. I love baking with kids. My absolute favorite caregiving activity is reading bedtime stories and singing I’m happy to provide a resume and references upon request. I live in Skokie and we have a three year old rescue lab/hound mix named Korra. I love dogs and I am comfortable with all kinds of pets. I’m very happy to help out with laundry, dishes, and picking up around the house whenever the kids are napping. While the kids are awake, I keep my focus on ensuring that they are safe, fed, and having fun. I do not spend time on my phone while caregiving, other than to check in with parents or provide updates. Thanks for your consideration. Rosanne

"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
