Hi, my name is Carrie! I recently relocated to Chicago and I am looking for a short-term gig before I start my job at Lurie hospital on August 3rd. I am a registered nurse with a background in pediatric cardiac intensive care. I have a lot of hands on experience with newborns, toddlers and school-aged kids! I am CPR certified and feel comfortable taking care of multiple children at once. I love to be outside and go on adventures!

Booked by 2 families in Elmwood Park, IL

Hello, I'm Jasmine, a 26-year-old graduate from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Recently I have been affected by the tech layoffs and my role as a UX design was affected. I'm looking for part-time work as a babysitter/nanny. There is a 1-star review on my profile, but that does not reflect my consideration of showing up on time for my appointments. Please consider my application! About me: I consider myself a patient, responsible, and creative individual. My free time is filled with activities such as painting, drawing, singing, playing tennis, learning Mandarin, and cooking. Relevant Experience: In 2020, I served as a full-time nanny for two children, ages 4 and 7, a boy and a girl. During this period, my responsibilities included making lunch, light housework, engaging in playtime, and teaching arts and crafts. If your child enjoys crafts, I'd be delighted to share these activities with them. In college, I tutored math and English at the Boys and Girls Club near my campus. Given that school is back in session, I'm enthusiastic about offering assistance with any tutoring needs.

Wonderful with our kids. Would recommend 100%

"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
