Annalea $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Annalea and I'm currently a junior at Loyola Chicago. I'm offering part-time and occasional child care and household services! I come from a big family and I've always loved kids and have been around them my whole life. I've also been babysitting and teaching swim lessons to kids of all ages for about five years!! Some of my favorite things to do with kids are crafts, hands-on learning activities, and outdoor adventures. I was homeschooled for several years so I have a lot of experience with at-home learning! I also do a lot of house-sitting and pet-sitting jobs during my college breaks so I can offer various household services and house/dog-sitting. I love animals and am happy to care for them as well.

"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."

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)."
