Hi! I'm Grace, 33 years old filipina, I lived in palatine, a loving and dependable mom of 3. Nurturing a child's curiosity and growth is my true passion.

Sarah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sarah. I am a career childcare professional with over 30 years of experience supporting children and families from the newborn stage through adolescence. My work is rooted in consistency, emotional awareness, and creating environments where children feel safe, engaged, and truly understood. In addition to my extensive nanny background, I am also a trained full spectrum doula, childbirth educator, and lactation educator. This allows me to offer a deeper level of support, especially for families with newborns, infants, and those navigating postpartum transitions. I have supported hundreds of families throughout Chicago and bring a calm, knowledgeable presence into the home during both everyday routines and more complex seasons of life. My areas of expertise include newborn and infant care, establishing feeding and sleep rhythms, toddler development, preschool readiness, and supporting school-aged children with structured routines and homework. I have significant experience working with neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, and learning differences. I focus on emotional regulation, connection-based care, and helping children build confidence and independence at their own pace. I am highly experienced in managing the day-to-day flow of a household. This includes school pickup and drop-off, activity coordination, meal preparation, organization, and maintaining predictable routines that support both children and parents. I am comfortable in homes with pets and in environments where parents work from home, and I adapt easily to each family’s unique rhythm. Families often describe me as grounded, intuitive, and deeply reliable. I value clear communication, mutual respect, and building long-term, trusting relationships. I am CPR and First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. I also follow a gluten-free lifestyle and am comfortable supporting families with dietary needs and food sensitivities. At the heart of my work is the belief that children thrive when they feel secure, seen, and supported, and that families deserve care that is both professional and deeply human. I would love the opportunity to connect and learn more about how I can support your family.

Isabella $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Highland Park, IL

Hello! I’m Bella, an aspiring actor who just graduated from Florida Int. University and recently moved to Chicago! I moved from Florida where I gained 3 years of experience as a summer camp counselor, 2 year of tutoring, 3 years of children’s voice lesson, and a case of chronic baby fever. I also have 5 years of experience in children’s entertainment, where I performed as many characters from children’s shows so I’m fully equipped to take over your next Frozen sing-along, you deserve a break 💗 My goal is always fun learning. With a background in theatre, I’ve understood how important it is for kids to have an outlet while learning respect, kindness, and compassion. As a nanny, I hope to add that extra sprinkle to their everyday lives while also providing the essentials. I have also grown up around animals like dogs, turtles, and am currently a mother to the world’s cutest dwarf hamster! I feel completely comfortable around animals if you have a furry friend around! I have 8 years of experience with volunteer work so I’m highly empathetic towards family situations and understand that it makes the world of a difference to have a helping hand. I would love to provide that service.

"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)."
