$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Lincolnwood, IL

Hi! I'm Baylie-27, pursuing my Master's in Social Work, and a proud "kid-at-heart." I work in the ER as a social worker supporting patients of all ages, but my favorite role has always been caring for kids. I've been a nanny, tutor, and volunteer mentor for refugee children, helping with homework, play, and life skills-all while making sure they feel safe, supported, and happy. Families describe me as dependable, upbeat, and creative, whether that means turning homework into a game or planning fun activities. I'm looking for occasional or part-time work and bring reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and a whole lot of positive energy to every family I work with.

I really enjoy the time with them.

"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)."
