Rosanne $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly experienced, well/educated (Masters degree), kind, patient, warm, and fun caregiver. I have worked with families with children ranging in age from 2 months to middle school age. I have completed pediatric first aid and CPR training. The parents for whom I have recently worked include a clinical psychologist/professor at Northwestern, a nursing instructor at Loyola, and a neonatologist in residency at Northwestern. I’m happy to provide references. I genuinely love spending my time with children of all ages. Whenever the weather allows, I take kids out for long nature walks. I also enjoy encouraging kids to express themselves artistically. I love baking with kids. My absolute favorite caregiving activity is reading bedtime stories and singing I’m happy to provide a resume and references upon request. I live in Skokie and we have a three year old rescue lab/hound mix named Korra. I love dogs and I am comfortable with all kinds of pets. I’m very happy to help out with laundry, dishes, and picking up around the house whenever the kids are napping. While the kids are awake, I keep my focus on ensuring that they are safe, fed, and having fun. I do not spend time on my phone while caregiving, other than to check in with parents or provide updates. Thanks for your consideration. Rosanne

Hi, my name is Elissa! I’ve worked for the Wilmette Park District as a counselor for four years now. I’ve looked after kids of all ages, and I’m a mandated reporter for the state of IL. I’m looking for work opportunities through the school year. I have open availability and I’m flexible with my time as well. I have a reliable car if driving is a must. I’m skilled at cooking (especially healthy meals) and basic cleaning, and I don’t mind random tasks- whatever you need. My main priorities in caregiving are keeping kids safe, happy, and busy. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Elissa was so wonderful! She was great with communication, kind, patient, fun. Our daughter loves her! I highly recommend and will be reaching out to Elissa for future needs!!

Hi! I'm a DePaul University graduate with 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teen years as a nanny, babysitter, tutor, and violin teacher. I speak English, Spanish, Farsi, and Arabic, and have been a violinist for over 15 years. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens, including feeding, naps, developmental play, homework help, transportation, and bedtime routines. I'm also experienced caring for children and adults with special needs, including autism and developmental disabilities, and I strive to provide patient, individualized, and compassionate care. Beyond childcare, I have experience as a household manager and personal assistant, helping with meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, scheduling, light housekeeping, and keeping busy households running smoothly. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and can assist with feeding, walking, medications, and daily care. Families describe me as reliable, warm, organized, and proactive. I have my own reliable car, a clean driving record, am fully vaccinated (including COVID booster), and do not smoke. I'm available for occasional, part-time, short-term, overnight, and last-minute bookings. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, engaging, and attentive care for your children and home. ----- Booking Policies My time and budget is planned around the hours booked, so I ask that you honor payment for the entire booking, regardless if you come home early. I'm also generally flexible if you need me to stay later than scheduled as long as that is communicated to me. Cash or Zelle are my preferred payment methods. Tips are always appreciated but never expected. Thank you!

"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)."
