Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I'm Becca. I've been a nanny for over 5 years, mostly caring for infants and toddlers. I love helping with feeding, naps, playtime, and hitting those early milestones - all while following the routines and preferences of each family. The family I'm with is ending care early due to a medical emergency, so I'm looking for something new. My schedule's super flexible right now, and I'd love to chat to see if we're a good fit!

Janean $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with experience working with children, seniors, and pets. I previously worked at Kumon, where I supported students with their learning and helped them build confidence and discipline in their studies. That experience strengthened my patience, organization, and communication skills. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, assisting seniors with daily tasks and companionship, and providing attentive pet care (feeding, walking, playtime, medication reminders if needed). I have reliable transportation, so I’m punctual and flexible with scheduling. I can also cook simple, healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, organize spaces, and keep homes running smoothly. My goal is always to create a safe, clean, and positive environment where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m trustworthy, detail-oriented, and treat every home with respect as if it were my own.

I am a pediatric speech-language pathologist full time and a part time baby sitter! I am currently CPR certified. I have worked in child care for over 10 years and I have enjoyed every year! I love to help children grow while working with their families to be sure all of the child’s needs are met.

Booked by 1 family in Elmwood Park, IL

I have been working on and off in childcare simce I was in early high school! I was trained by the red cross in Babysitting and standard CPR/ First Aid and have kept up with my certification. I love engaging kids in their imaginations as I am in the creative world myself. I am also passionate about being active and love games and activities that involve movement. I know the importance of good communication and always make that my top priority when it comes to working with families. I believe that trust is built on effective communication. I am a very energetic and bubbly person, so I really love talking with kids and bringing them out of their shells!

"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)."
