Laila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents and families! I am currently working at a daycare/preschool but am looking to nanny! I have about 3 years of experience, mostly with infants but I have also spent a good amount of time in a toddler and preschool classrooms. Although I may not have a lot of experience with older children, I would love to learn and gain more experience! As well as being an assistant infant teacher, I do love to babysit in my free time, this also includes doing household tasks such as meal prepping, cleaning, and running errands. As I mentioned, I may not be as qualified as others, but I would love to be your nanny/caregiver because I know that I can and will learn about your child(ren), helping them to grow as they help me grow.

Hello! My name is Marie and I'm currently a rising sophomore at Wilbur Wright College. I speak English and Spanish. I am offering child care and household services. IF MY RATES ARE TOO MUCH I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO BRING THEM DOWN ! :) I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 10 years old. My responsibilities have included helping with homework (reading, and writing), cleaning, how to set boundaries, etc! I also help with cooking, and running errands!

Booked by 2 families in Elmwood Park, IL

I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing, and I bring not only responsibility and dedication but also a lot of creativity , a quality I apply in both childcare and daily tasks. I have experience with babies as young as 4 months old, as well as with children over 5 years old, always ensuring a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I enjoy creating playful and educational activities tailored to each child’s age. I'm an animal lover and happy to help care for pets with love, and I’m also willing to assist with household organization when needed. I'm communicative, proactive, and truly enjoy contributing to a family's well-being.

"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)."
