Sophia Chicago
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophia, and I've been a resident of Chicago for a year now. I'm 28 years old and currently looking for a part-time or full-time nanny position. I have had experience with babysitting and nannying throughout high school, college, and beyond. I've cared for children of all ages—from infants to kids ages 2–9, and even preteens and teens (10–15 years old). As I don’t currently have a car in the city, I’m primarily seeking an in-home nanny position, ideally caring for an infant during standard work hours. I'm also comfortable with pets and happy to help with housekeeping tasks. I genuinely love cleaning and organizing! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a call. I’d love to connect!

Hello! I'm Gina and I recently moved to Chicago from Boston to be with my partner. I'm enjoying learning my way around this beautiful city, and love working with kids of all ages as well as pets. I have nieces and nephews ranging from 2 to 18 and have always been very close with them. I also have experience nannying in Boston while I was in college. I'm extremely responsible and reliable, have a car, have flexible hours, and kids seem to love me :) I love pets as well and would be more than happy to take care of yours.

Nicole Chicago
$20 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced and reliable caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and household support. I’ve spent years caring for children of all ages. Growing up my sister was 10 years younger than me, so I had many years babysitting/caring for her and her neighborhood friends. I also worked at a daycare program for 2 years. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment, whether that’s helping with homework, planning activities, or keeping daily routines on track. I’m comfortable with pets as well (I have a husky of my own). Also, happy to help with light housework or whatever your family needs to feel supported!

"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)."
