I am an early childhood and ECE major with a passion for the littles! I found an introduction into this path working as a babysitter for my infant and toddler aged nephews and cousins in highschool. While in school to obtain my bachelor’s, I have worked in clinics, in home, middle school and currently as a lead teacher in a preschool! I love spending time at the beach, enjoying nature, or watching movies and cuddling with my two cats! I am comfortable feeding, changing, preparing meals, helping with academicsㅤ, light household work, and pets in the home!

Summer was wonderful! We would love to have her over again.

Hi! I'm Fariani—but most parents end up calling me Mary Poppins. 😊 Caring for children is more than a job to me—it's my passion. I'm a warm, reliable, and patient nanny with experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including 4 years working with a child with special needs with feeding tube. I also speak several languages French is my native language. I love creating fun, engaging, and educational days through reading, arts & crafts, parks, museums, board games, homework help, and teaching French. My priority is to provide a safe, loving environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I'm also happy to prepare healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, and maintain open, honest communication with parents. I'm looking for a family that values kindness, trust, and teamwork.

My name is Greta, and I am a 26-year-old DePaul Graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education and Bilingual Education. I have been babysitting since the age of 11. I have worked at an after-school program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for four years. Here is where I gained experience with k4 students, teaching and playing while helping bridge the gap despite social inequalities. I also worked as a full time POD teacher during the pandemic. I student taught in CPS and made many meaningful connections with my preschool and second grade students. I am now in my fourth year of being a full time preschool educator. In Chicago, I have loved meeting new families and applying my knowledge and hands on experiences from my student teaching at Depaul and CPS experience. Coming from a background of teachers, and being raised in this field, working with children has always been a perfect fit for me. Reading books, going for walks, building forts and using your imagination are experiences that help shape kids into intelligent and compassionate adults. The smallest adventures make the best memories. I understand how busy parents are in providing a happy and well-functioning household, I am someone who is trustworthy when it comes to taking care of your children when you are away. I want the best for them, in regards to their safety and wellbeing as well as making sure they have fun. I live in uptown, So if you want your kids to be in good hands, I am just a walk or a bus ride away :)). I am flexible and can adapt to your family’s needs! I look forward to hearing from you 💜

Hi, My name is Irina. I an a 2nd year nursing student. I bring toys, coloring books and balloons so that children don't get bored and have something new to wonder about and play with. It also helps with separation anxiety. I take my time to talk to them and explain questions they might have, or matters regarding discipline. I am familiar with being cautious when it comes to allergies. I have my driver's license and I am CPR certified. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to working for your family.

"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)."
