Brittany $23 per hour for 1 child

I have been a pediatric speech language pathologist for 14 years. Prior to beginning my career, I had extensive baby-sitting experience. I will provide care for my nephews and niece regularly. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition to providing speech and language services, I am also a feeding therapist. I am CPR-certified. I am just looking to do some work slightly outside of my career-field.

Faye $25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience with children of all ages, and I focus on play-based learning for younger children while also teaching manners and kindness. I have experience with newborns, both professionally and personally as a mother to two boys, aged 7 and 11. I believe that every child and family is unique, so I tailor my approach to your specific needs while maintaining core values of love, understanding, patience, and kindness. I have been working in childcare for a total of 20 years, starting as a babysitter in my youth and working as a professional nanny for the past 13 years. I am currently seeking a part-time position. I reside in Wicker Park and have my own car for transportation. I am available Monday thru Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. I do this work because I love working with children; I find it much more rewarding than working in an office. Please reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family.

Miranda $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! 💗 My name is Miranda, and I’m a compassionate, enthusiastic, and creative caregiver who recently moved to Chicago! I have a background in babysitting, education, film, and the arts, and I’ve always loved connecting with people of all ages. I worked a year living in Madrid, Spain, where I worked as an English teacher at a bilingual secondary school. During my time there, I helped students develop their English skills, supported classroom activities, and encouraged creativity, curiosity, and confidence in their learning. I would describe myself as patient, attentive, empathetic, and playful! I love encouraging imagination and self expression, whether that’s through arts and crafts, storytelling, music, outdoor adventures, or educational activities. I believe in creating a nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves while having the opportunity to learn and explore the world around them. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to incorporate language learning into everyday activities! Beyond childcare, I’m a lifelong animal lover and have cared for my two wonderful cats for over 17 years. My experience caring for senior pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and being attentive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, companionship, and following established pet care routines. I’m also happy to help families with housekeeping, organizing, meal preparation, and other everyday household tasks. In my free time, I enjoy filmmaking, music, festivals, exploring nature, traveling, and discovering new creative hobbies. I’m naturally curious and love bringing that same sense of wonder and enthusiasm into the spaces and relationships I share with others. Above all, I value kindness, communication, reliability, and treating every family and home with genuine care and respect. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and contribute to a happy, supportive environment! 💗

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.

Ashley $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have over 10 years of childcare experience in clinical, school, and play-based settings. As a former Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I have a special passion for working with children with special needs and hope to become a BCBA or open my own clinic one day. I love creating fun, engaging experiences through arts and crafts, baking, theme days, and outdoor adventures while encouraging less screen time. My biggest priority as a nanny is making sure every child feels safe, loved, and supported. I strive to create an environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, making mistakes, and learning as they grow. ❤️

"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)."
