Hi, I’m Judith! I’m 27, a French student living in Chicago. Caring for children has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I come from a big family of ten, with fourteen nieces and nephews, so I became the family’s go-to babysitter the moment I was old enough to look after little ones on my own. Since then I’ve cared for children of every age, from three-month-old infants to teenagers. One thing families tell me often is how quickly their kids warm up to me, even the shy or picky ones. I’m calm, patient, and genuinely fun to be around, and I know how to earn a child’s trust without rushing it. Parents also count on me to be reliable and easy to work with. I show up on time, stay in touch throughout, and take the initiative to help wherever I can. I love bringing a little extra to my time with kids. I play guitar and piano, I sing, and I enjoy sharing the languages I speak. Whether it’s a quiet afternoon, a full day of activities, or an evening routine, you can count on your child being safe, engaged, and well cared for.

I started nannying because of my love for helping children grow and form gentle understandings that they can take with them throughout life. I first began assisting some neighborhood moms back in junior high which soon led to me being their go-to sitter. That’s when I obtained the certificates essential to legitimize the job. Ever since then, I’ve had only positive experiences and have grown a strong love for being around kids. In my time watching children, I love to keep them stimulated both physically and mentally so I like to incorporate yoga as well as other art forms into our time together (:

Hello I'm Maria! I am a dedicated and detail-oriented nanny with over 9 years of experience, starting in 2016. My passion for providing a safe, fun, and educational environment for children has been a key driver in my work. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences that promote learning while ensuring that kids are having fun. I am highly organized, follow schedules closely, and work to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in good hands. As a COVID-19-conscious professional, I have all my vaccines up to date and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. My experience is very diverse as I have worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and older aged kids, as well with multiples(twins) and multiple siblings. I'm also available on weekday evenings should you ever need help then. I am comfortable working around pets as well. I am bilingual in Spanish as well. In addition to child care, I'm able to help with preparing meals, light housekeeping, and laundry. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family more. Thank you!

Kids had a fantastic time! 10/10!

"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)."
