Hello I'm Maria! I am a dedicated and detail-oriented nanny with over 9 years of experience, starting in 2016. My passion for providing a safe, fun, and educational environment for children has been a key driver in my work. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences that promote learning while ensuring that kids are having fun. I am highly organized, follow schedules closely, and work to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in good hands. As a COVID-19-conscious professional, I have all my vaccines up to date and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. My experience is very diverse as I have worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and older aged kids, as well with multiples(twins) and multiple siblings. I'm also available on weekday evenings should you ever need help then. I am comfortable working around pets as well. I am bilingual in Spanish as well. In addition to child care, I'm able to help with preparing meals, light housekeeping, and laundry. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family more. Thank you!

Kids had a fantastic time! 10/10!

Hello 👋🏽 I have 11 years of experience watching infants to school age children. I've been working for an Amazing 💕Family in Winnetka and I’ve worked as a teacher's assistant in an at-home bilingual daycare. I really enjoying playing, cooking, and caring for children. I really like connecting with children and finding out what interests them.

What a pro! She was so confident and proactive when it came to handling my 3 kids. And some how managed to leave my home cleaner than I left it for her. Great communication, my oldest asked how soon she could see Eva again.

Booked by 19 families in Kenilworth, IL

Hello my name is Caroline, I am professional nanny looking to build long lasting relationships with families as a caretaker. I worked as a professional Chef before transitioning into childcare, so if you need me to feed your little ones, I am the right person for you! I just graduated with a degree in Psychology and I am CPR Certified. I am also bilingual with native fluency in both English and Spanish. And have experience with kids from 0-10 years old and long term references from nanny families. I believe in giving kids the space to express themselves while providing healthy and safe guidelines in a fun and educative environment.

Caroline was an absolute delight! She took on a job for us at the last minute, and I am so glad we found her! Caroline was communicative and on-time. She started connecting with my daughter right away and was immediately willing to engage with my daughter on her terms. She kept my very energetic child engaged for hours with minimal screen time, which is essentially miraculous. I will absolutely be hiring her again!

"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)."
