My name is Susana, I am 29 years old, and I am originally from Spain. I recently moved to Chicago because my husband is a researcher at the University of Chicago. I have obtained my work permit and am excited to begin this new professional stage in the United States. I have several years of experience working with children, both as a nanny and as a teacher. I have cared for my two nieces and one nephew from infancy until they started school at age three, being responsible for their daily routines, meals, playtime, and overall well-being in a safe and nurturing environment. After they began school, I continued caring for them on weekends and school holidays. In addition, I worked as a nanny for two different families: one family with three children for four consecutive summers, and another family with one child for one summer. In these roles, I supervised daily activities, prepared meals, organized creative and educational play, and ensured a structured and positive environment. Furthermore, I worked as a science teacher at a secondary school for three years. This experience strengthened my communication skills, organization, leadership, and ability to support children’s academic and personal development. I have an intermediate level of English and am highly motivated to continue improving through daily interaction and professional experience. In my free time, I enjoy painting, exercising, and going to the cinema. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely passionate about working with children, always striving to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for them. I'm happy to work with cat and dog families 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."

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)."
