August 2026 Dear Parents and precious little ones, My name is Miss Louise. I am a licensed teacher and a Professional Nanny. Especially fond of newborns! Families find I am an attentive, smart, and a caring Nanny/House manager. My Bachelors degree in Nutrition is from Benedictine University. I have experience in schools. My availability is mostly weekdays. I have experience sleep training/night Nanny. If you accept my application and book my care for your child note: 1. I have a 5-consecutive hours minimum per day. 2. If you cancel with less than 24hrs notice please pay for the hours you booked. 😁 I am available more hours in the summers. ā—One of my favorite children's book is The Alphabet Tree. ā—I have managed vacation rental properties and I have household manager experience. ā—I am first-aid certified BLS/AED as a professional for infants, children and adults. ā—Comfortable around pets. I recommend this book as well: Besos de sol, abrazos de luna: Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs by Susan Schaefer Bernardo. This book helps children feel connected to loved ones who are far away, assuring them they share the same sky and moon. Thank you for accepting my application! Best care Nanny, Miss Louise

Hello, I am currently available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Hope something works out! :) I have experience working with little ones, adolescents, and adults with special needs in various settings. I've worked taking care of kids for years. I love kids; they're all unique and fun. I prefer to work with older children versus infants. If needed, I would send updates to the parents about how the day is going with pictures. Although it is more than worth my time and energy to care for your little one, it is important that I am compensated for the time originally agreed upon, even if you arrive earlier. I do require a 24-hour cancellation notice. I reserved that special time just for you. I am bilingual and have been told that people are very receptive to me. Look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank You! :)) (updated 07/2026)

Ayotomiwa $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a qualified caregiver that has worked with 5 seniors and 6 children. I also have nephews that I have watched while their parents work or need a night out. I would usually not watch a place look unkept or untidy so mostly I’m always putting things in place whether asked to or not. I have transportation and I always keep to time. I understand parents sometimes might run late and communication is all I need to make it easier for both the parents and I. I’m in school studying accounting so I can always help the kids with their homework or read to them. I can cook and can come with cleaning equipments when requested. I enjoy talking to kids cause they see the world differently and it’s a good way to make them talk about things that happen to them in school. I play tennis and enjoy watching people Play other sports.

Shelly $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello Dear Parents. I am a mature single female with 2 adult children of my own. I am also "mom" to 4 fur babies (2 dogs & 2 cats) I am an English mother tongue speaker and fluent French speaker. I currently live in Bartlett IL & am ready and available to provide excellent weekend day and evening care for your children Sat's & Sun's. I can help with your pets as well if needed. I am currently a full time nanny for 2 families weekdays M-F. I am interested and available to care for your kiddos if you need an extra hand juggling the demands of parenting from 7pm onward on weekdays, drop offs and pick ups from extra curricular activities any day and time weekend days and also home care during night time hours on weekends so mom and dad can stay connected and share adult time alone. Once you and I have established a mutually trusting and comfortable relationship, I am open to overnight care options if you would like to have a getaway weekend as long as the timing of such would not conflict with with my commitments to my weekday families. I am an obsessional tidier so always picking up and putting away things. If needed, I can prepare age appropriate light meals with the ingredients you provide. I am not a cleaning lady although I am a clean lady. If mutually agreed upon in advance I may be able to assist with light housework and light laundry while babysitting, although child care would be my principal focus. My hourly base rate is $22 to 30 hour depending on how many children require care and the distance from my home. Extra duties will be an additional pre-agreed charge based on requirements. I am a non smoker, first aid and CPR certified. I own a recent, reliable vehicle. I welcome caring for children from diverse nationalities, faiths, and relationships. I am an active person that loves the outdoors and will take your children outdoors weather permitting. I believe in activities that foster creative minds and curiosity as apposed to screen time or electronic devices. I myself love reading and would love to read to your children from their favorite books and their play board games with them. I will be on the floor playing with and caring for your children, not sitting on your couch surfing the net or texting on my cell phone. I am firm but fun I cant wait to hear from you and meet your little ones or bigger ones. Lets talk soon and get to know each other. I have references to provide to directly verify Thank you and kind regards. Shelly

"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)."
