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

Lois $16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Evanston, IL

Most recently I was an assistant preschool teacher at the San Francisco Waldorf School. I graduated with a degree in Sociology from Illinois State University and have experience with children from as young as a few months up to teenagers. I worked as a part time nanny to a set of twins around 2 months old, I have run my own circus programs for kids 5-15 and have worked as a circus coach for youth since I was 14 ages 3-18. My mom was a driving force in why I love children so much. I am a second generation circus performer and have found that working with kids who have a lot of energy things like juggling work to help center them and focus their energy into something productive. My experience with circus allows me to be patient and offer creative solutions.

"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

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)."
