Ashley $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have over 10 years of childcare experience in clinical, school, and play-based settings. As a former Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I have a special passion for working with children with special needs and hope to become a BCBA or open my own clinic one day. I love creating fun, engaging experiences through arts and crafts, baking, theme days, and outdoor adventures while encouraging less screen time. My biggest priority as a nanny is making sure every child feels safe, loved, and supported. I strive to create an environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, making mistakes, and learning as they grow. ❤️

Fun loving, energetic, creative, responsible, and experienced care taker, looking for any occasional, part-time, or full-time opportunities that are a great fit!

Sports fanatic, who loves dancing, singing, art projects, traveling, cooking, baking and animals! For the last 5 years I’ve been a Nanny & House Manager for 3 different families, working with children ranging from newborn to 12 years old! Most recently, I just finished a 2 year long position working for a family with 3 children, who are currently 1 years old, 4 years old and 6 years old. I was with them since the oldest two were 2 and 4, and have been caring for the 1 year old since she was born! Very flexible schedule, live in Logan Square, have a car and absolutely willing to use it! Open to discussing any opportunities or answering questions, feel free to reach out!

"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)."
