Janiya $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Janiya, and I am looking for a long term family in need of a trustworthy and dedicated nanny. I was born and raised in Chicago and have lived all over the city! Being the eldest daughter in a large family I've had my fair share of caretaking, as well as 4+ years of paid sitting experience. I am comfortable with all ages ranging from newborns to teens and up to 3 children at once. My experience largely lies with caring for infants into toddlerhood and beyond. I am punctual, patient, energetic, kind and genuinely enjoy helping children learn and grow. Becoming an integral member to families is very rewarding. About myself, I am a very active and passionate person. I spent 7 years with my Girl Scout troop where we sold enough cookies to take a trip around Europe! I spent 6 years attending Montrose beach's Jr. lifeguard camp where I became CPR certified, and have been certified again since. I also played 8 years of competitive club/school volleyball where my career ended because of the pandemic. The list goes on! I am an experienced driver with a clean record as well. Please keep in touch if you are interested in chatting further!

Wafae $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Im wafae, and with over 10 years of experience caring for children—from tiny infants to energetic toddlers—I recently returned from London, where I worked as a nanny while completing my Master’s degree. Balancing both roles taught me how to stay organized, patient, and flexible—skills that naturally carry over into childcare. I’ve also been a karate mentor and camp counselor for kids aged 4–12. These roles helped me connect with children on an emotional level, encouraging creativity, confidence, and a love for active play. I’m also comfortable in the kitchen and happy to prepare simple, healthy meals. I also have experience with infant CPR. If you think we’d be a good match, feel free to reach out. I’d love to help out with your little ones! Warmly, Wafae

"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)."
