Nadia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Nadia Johnson. I’m a proud mother of two daughters, and I’ve been a preschool teacher for over 10 years. I hold bachelor’s degrees in Early Childhood Education and Criminal Justice, and I’m certified in CPR and food handling. In addition to my work with young children, I’ve also had the privilege of caring for elderly individuals, bringing the same kindness and patience I have with kids. I’m outgoing, funny, and kind, with a big smile and a nurturing spirit. I absolutely adore dogs—I have two of my own—and I love creating a warm, joyful environment for both kids and pets. I can’t wait to join a family and help their child grow and thrive.”

Hello! My name is Martina and I have over 27 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to school-aged kids. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow in a safe and loving environment. Families describe me as kind, patient, and dependable. I’m comfortable with pets, have my own transportation, and can help with light cleaning, meals, or errands if needed.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 175 families in Forest Park, IL

Greetings! My name is Daniela, and I am 29 years old. I have over 8 years of experience working as a nanny and sitter for both short-term and long-term families. I view caring for children as a job that requires responsibility, diligence, patience, and, most importantly, genuine care and appreciation for both the children and their families. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. As a nanny and sitter, I love engaging children in activities that are both fun and beneficial to their development, including puzzles, reading, creative activities, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I also have a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, which has given me additional knowledge and understanding of child development, communication, emotional well-being, and creating supportive relationships with children. A few fun facts about me: I am a huge country music fan and a proud Cubs fan! I look forward to getting to know your family and creating a caring and enjoyable experience for your little ones.

"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)."
