Jennifer $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient childcare professional with 8 years of experience working with children. I have 6 years of experience caring for toddlers and 2 years of experience working with infants, which has helped me develop a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and development. Although I’m new to working as a private nanny, I’m excited to bring my childcare experience into a more personal setting where I can build a strong connection with the children and family I work with. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I’m dependable, organized, and willing to be flexible with a family’s routine. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with reasonable household tasks such as tidying up after the children, doing their laundry, preparing simple meals, and keeping their areas organized. I’m looking forward to finding a family where I can be a trustworthy and supportive part of their everyday lives.

Deanna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, After raising two sons (both in college) and working in corporate marketing for 30 years, I'm taking some time to figure out my second act. And, I really miss having kiddos around. I enjoy spending time and even babysitting some of my friend’s children. I’m a high-energy, responsible, and fun Mom. BTW, my son has nut allergies, so I’m uniquely qualified to be very careful with food allergies. I used to be a lifeguard and swim instructor, and I have a perfect driving record. Happy to share all documents and references. Hope to hear from you! Thanks, Deanna

Erin $20 per hour for 1 child

I've been in radio broadcasting since I was 20 years old. Currently I'm the midday host at 94.7FM (10-3pm) and mother of an amazing 12-year-old son. My passion is to find the commonality in all humans. To add some levity and humor to all of the things we deal with in life. My childcare experience started very early in life. I was babysitting my older sisters 4 kids since I was 15 years old. I've been a room parent in my son's classroom from K-6th grade. I've been heavily involved in my son's travel baseball team for the last 5 years. Caring for other kids on the team. Giving them rides to and from events. Having sleep overs. Always the chaperone for the team to water parks, dinners, games and more. I've also been a dog walker. Owned my own service for a few years. I'm comfortable around any animal and enjoy them as much as I do children. I grew up with a friend whose father was a quadriplegic and helped with his care. I was very close to my grandmother and wanted to make her comfortable in her senior years. Washing her hair, helping her get up the stairs and cooking for her. Now that my son is getting older, and my schedule is flexible, I want to help other families. Not having family or resources in Chicago to help raise my son, I know how extremely valuable it would have been to have had help from a sitter that I could trust. I want to be that comfort for others.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
