Booked by 1 family in Evanston, IL

Hello! I have experience in childcare, as a mother I understand and comprehend the requirements and attention that children demand, I can help with easy tasks around the house such as preparing food for the children, basic cleaning, running errands, taking the kids to extracurricular activities, I also love pets, I have full-time availability from Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 2:30pm, my main language is Spanish but I understand English at 50%.

“Iris has been part of our family for two years, and it's hard to imagine our kids' early years without her. She started caring for our daughter Luna at just 3 months old, and when our son Atlas arrived about six months later, she took him on too, managing two infants without missing a beat. What sets Iris apart is how naturally she's become family, not just childcare. She reads both kids incredibly well, adapting to their different personalities and needs, and handled the jump from one baby to two with a calm we didn't know was possible. One thing we especially value is that Iris speaks to our children in Spanish, giving them real bilingual exposure from infancy. If you're looking for a professional nanny who will genuinely love your children and grow with your family, Iris is exactly that. We recommend her without hesitation.”

My name is Kia and I have 10+ years of working with children, infants, and newborns. I am an elementary school social worker who specializes in social and emotional child development skills and special education. Before becoming a social worker, I worked as a daycare teacher, nanny, and babysitter. I aim to ensure the children I care for are safe but that they are having fun and continuously learning. I enjoy taking the children I care for to the park, new activities, and teaching them new concepts/developmental skills. I look forward to connecting!

Northwest Chicago/Suburbs Bilingual Nanny Available ✨ I am Sky, your new dependable, caring, communicative candidate..here to offer my babysitting/nannying services. I am 20 years old, currently a part time student and homemaker. I have experience with children of all ages, since I was about 12. This ranges from volunteering in a daycare setting with ages 2-5 (prior to working age), tutoring math to elementary students, babysitting for family, current nanny to one family once a week (looking for more!) and being a mom to one sweet toddler. I am a: NON-SMOKER CPR/FIRST AID CERTIFIED BILINGUAL IN ENGLISH/SPANISH FULLY VACCINATED, CLEAN BACKGROUND CHECK. Willing to show proof of anything. I can provide age-appropriate activities, work on developmental milestones, hands-on learning, light housework, meal prep. I do not drive, but I have reliable transportation and am willing to travel within 10 miles of 60[removed]4. I would love to continue to build my career in nannying/childcare and would appreciate the experience, plus creating a bond with your little! Given children are so absorbent in these ages, I love teaching new skills/information or working on what they may already need help with. I believe teaching is best taught through play and made fun. I am available for one time jobs or consistent care. My rate is $20-25/hr. I can care for up to 3-4 total children, an example of what I have experience with handling at once is one infant and the rest were toddler/older age. I look forward to hearing from someone interested. As a parent myself, I know how it feels making sure you leave your precious world in the right hands. And to you I say, hakuna matata. 😉🤗 Thank you and have a blessed day.

"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)."
