Hi! I'm a DePaul University graduate with 10+ 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 15 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. Beyond childcare, I have experience as a household manager and personal assistant, helping with meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, scheduling, light housekeeping, and keeping busy households running smoothly. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and can assist with feeding, walking, medications, and daily 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 My time and budget is planned around the hours booked, so I ask that you honor payment for the entire booking, regardless if you come home early. I'm also generally flexible if you need me to stay later than scheduled as long as that is communicated to me. Cash or Zelle are my preferred payment methods. Tips are always appreciated but never expected. Thank you!

Hi, I'm Chloe! I'm an experienced nanny and babysitter, and I've been working with kids since I was one myself! I started babysitting when I was 11, and basically haven't stopped since then. I've been a nanny, worked in a day care, been a mother's helper, a tutor, and provided almost every other child care service. I'm new to Chicago, but was working in Denver for the last 12 years. Babies and toddlers are my absolute favorite, but I love kids of all ages. I have experience with kids as young as one week and as old as 16 years, and have worked with siblings and groups of up to 26 kids! I have a gift for dissolving sibling conflict and dealing with tears and tantrums. I am affectionate, reliable, creative, and flexible. I am a student at SAIC looking for work around my class schedule, with a long career behind me already, and can't wait to care for your kids!

"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)."
