Hi! I’m a DePaul University graduate with 15+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teen years as a nanny, babysitter, tutor, and violin teacher. I speak English, Spanish, Farsi, and Arabic, and have been a violinist for over 20 years. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens, including feeding, naps, developmental play, homework help, transportation, and bedtime routines. I’m also experienced caring for children and adults with special needs, including autism and developmental disabilities, and I strive to provide patient, individualized, and compassionate care. Families describe me as reliable, warm, organized, and proactive. I have my own reliable car, a clean driving record, am fully vaccinated (including COVID booster), and do not smoke. I’m available for occasional, part-time, short-term, overnight, and last-minute bookings. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, engaging, and attentive care for your children and home. ⸻ Booking Policies: [Payment and Booking Hours] My schedule and budget are planned around the hours booked, so I ask that you honor payment for the entire booking, even if you return home earlier than scheduled. I’m generally flexible if you need me to stay later than planned, as long as the extension is communicated in advance whenever possible. Zelle or cash are my preferred payment methods. [Care For Sick Children] Bookings involving sick children are subject to higher hourly rates: * One sick child: $40/hour * Two sick children: $50/hour I can care for a maximum of two sick children per booking. Please let me know in advance if your child is sick so we can discuss their symptoms and care needs before confirming the booking. [Driving and Mileage] If I’m asked to drive children or run errands using my personal vehicle, mileage will be charged at the standard IRS business mileage rate of $0.76 per mile. Mileage is calculated for the full round trip associated with the requested driving, including the return trip. Thank you for your understanding! I look forward to meeting your family and providing loving, dependable, and attentive care for your children.

“Nazly was great with my 1.5 year old- when I ended up having to be away longer than I had intended, she was able to adapt and gave her dinner. Arrived on time and was gentle and friendly. My daughter seemed to be really happy! ”

Hi, I’m Donna! I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years, and I’ve always loved being part of a child’s growth and development. I have a lot of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, including caring for children from newborn through age 5. I spent three years working in a daycare infant room and two years in the toddler room, so I’m very comfortable with everything from newborn routines and bottle feeding to naps, playtime, early learning, and keeping busy little ones engaged. I’m CPR certified and certified in Early Childhood Development, and I’m someone who is patient, nurturing, dependable, and genuinely enjoys getting to know each child’s personality. I love creating a safe and comfortable environment where children can learn, play, and simply be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family, learn about your childcare needs, and hopefully become someone you and your little ones can feel comfortable with and trust. 

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Donna care for our two boys from 2020 to 2023. When she started with our family, our youngest was a newborn and our oldest was three, so she was with us through some very busy and important years. She was dependable, capable, and wonderful at managing the needs of two young children at different stages. She was comfortable driving the boys to activities and outings, which was a huge help as they got older, and we always felt confident having them in her care. She also went above and beyond childcare by helping us keep the house clean and organized, which made such a difference for our family. She was flexible, hardworking, and willing to pitch in wherever she was needed. We are very grateful for the years Donna spent with our family and would happily recommend her to another family looking for an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny.”

"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)."
