Yessenia $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm currently looking for a part-time or full-time nanny position within the city. I have over 11 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including daycare centers, private nanny positions, and as a substitute teacher assistant with Chicago Public Schools. I'm hoping to find my next long-term family—one I can build a strong relationship with while providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your child(ren) can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm CPR certified, trained in SBS and SIDS prevention, up to date on my Tdap vaccine, and fluent in both English and Spanish. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, I'd love to connect and chat more. Thank you!

Hi- my name is Leslie (jannet) I am 21years old I do have a job I only work Fridays overnights and 12hr shifts on the weekends. I am a non-smoker and drinker. I’m a security officer at Chicago downtown as my main job. The rest is off days I am open minded, fast learner, great listener and very patient when it comes to kiddos. I’ve worked at daycare and have done observation hours in college. I have 3 year experience with children including my family kids. I know nanny roles but never been one due to not having certifications at the moment but I am studying “early Childhood education” with a minor in “ESL and bilingual endorsement” . Which yes I am bilingual and I can teach children Spanish and sign language. I am reliable when it’s needed and currently I don’t have a car but I can take your kids to the park or pick them up walking or bus transportation ! Kids get attach to me quickly and I would treat them like if they were mine. For household services I go all out when it comes to cleaning and sanitation and organizing homes as well I have 3-4 years of experience I seem like it’s my hobby more than a chore. If I’m someone you’re looking for please send me a message directly in the app! I can’t wait to meet you:)

Angel $20 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. I’ve helped with daily routines such as homework, playtime, organizing activities, and keeping a consistent schedule. I understand how important it is for children to feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always make safety my top priority. I communicate well with both children and parents, making sure everyone feels heard and informed. I enjoy being creative through games, crafts, and outdoor activities, and I’m able to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. While I don’t have much experience with cooking yet, I’m very willing to learn and follow any instructions or meal guidelines provided. What makes me a great caregiver is my genuine care for children, my strong sense of responsibility, and my ability to stay calm and positive in any situation. I strive to build trust and create a warm environment where kids can learn, grow, and have fun.

"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)."
