Booked by 3 families in Lincolnwood, IL

Hello, my name is Adriana . A few years ago I worked at a daycare for a few months, taking care of boys and girls of all ages. My job was to make breakfast and lunch for the children, as well as providing personal care and naps. Later, I worked at a fresh market for over 4 years, serving salads among other jobs at the Tony's store. My jobs were in the produce department, cutting fruits and vegetables in the produce department. And... currently, I work in senior care for a company in the south Chicago area. I've been at this job for almost two years. I do housework, doctor's appointments, laundry, banking, among other jobs. I adapt to people. I am very patient and kind, and I travel all over Chicago. I also have letters of recommendation from employers, clients, and family. I like doing a good job, and I only like cats and dogs. And lastly, I'm Mexican and I speak Spanish and basic English.

Hi, My name is Evie I am taking a gap year from my studies at Loyola University Chicago, I am currently taking on a break in pursuit of writing a novel. I have worked professionally as a childcare provider for almost 8 years. However, as the oldest of nine I have lifetime experience of looking after children. Fun fact: I consider myself a great cook and knowledgeable about nutrition and fun recipes. I am seeking occasional/part time hours but long term connections. I am located in Old Town but provide care throughout the city of Chicago and near by suburbs. During the summer I am open to full or part time opportunity to support family’s in the Chicagoland area. I provide care for children ages 0-16. Rate depends on age, needs, number of children. I work great with children of all ages and can adapt myself to their individual needs. Thanks for booking with me. Evie

I started nannying because of my love for helping children grow and form gentle understandings that they can take with them throughout life. I first began assisting some neighborhood moms back in junior high which soon led to me being their go-to sitter. That’s when I obtained the certificates essential to legitimize the job. Ever since then, I’ve had only positive experiences and have grown a strong love for being around kids. In my time watching children, I love to keep them stimulated both physically and mentally so I like to incorporate yoga as well as other art forms into our time together (:

"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)."
