Maddy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maddy and I’m 29 years old. I have recently moved to the Avalon area in Chicago and am seeking a full-time position as a nanny. In August of 2019, I graduated from Montclair State University in New Jersey with a degree in Child Advocacy and Policy. I have lots of experience working with children and nannying. My first nannying position was in 2017 where I spent the summer as an au pair in Spain caring for three children aged 3,5, and 7. During my senior year of college, I spent my mornings nannying an 8-year-old girl. During the summer of 2018 and 2019, I worked in the Goddard School as a lead teacher for classrooms of up to 20 children between the ages of 2 and 4. I have plenty of experience with potty training, meal-time, nap time, and implementing a schedule and lesson plans. I have also worked as a nanny the past five years in Nashville ranging from newborn to six-years old!

Griselda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a dependable, patient, and caring mom of three girls with years of experience caring for children of all ages. I started babysitting, house sitting, and pet sitting as a preteen, and growing up in a large family taught me how to stay organized, multitask, and adapt to just about anything. I'm happy to help with school pick-ups and drop-offs, prepare simple meals, assist with light household tasks, and keep your child's daily routine running smoothly. Whether we're playing outside, reading books, or winding down for bedtime, my goal is to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where kids feel cared for and parents feel confident they're in good hands. I know every family is different, so I do my best to be reliable, communicative, and flexible while treating your home and children with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

Laila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents and families! I am currently working at a daycare/preschool but am looking to nanny! I have about 3 years of experience, mostly with infants but I have also spent a good amount of time in a toddler and preschool classrooms. Although I may not have a lot of experience with older children, I would love to learn and gain more experience! As well as being an assistant infant teacher, I do love to babysit in my free time, this also includes doing household tasks such as meal prepping, cleaning, and running errands. As I mentioned, I may not be as qualified as others, but I would love to be your nanny/caregiver because I know that I can and will learn about your child(ren), helping them to grow as they help me grow.

Annika $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my names Annika and I have about 10 years of childcare experience with kids of all ages! Also experienced with housekeeping/cooking/pet care. I’ve worked in a variety of childcare modalities from teaching dance to toddlers (Tippi Toes), Nannying full time, babysitting for neighborhood families, overnight sitting, summer camp counseling, and more! I also have had a life long sense for working with kids and kind of a maternal instinct that comes from caring for my three siblings growing up :) Super flexible and open to creating whatever experience your kids need! Looking forward to connecting soon.

"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)."
