Hello! My name is Hannah, and it is so great to virtually meet you! A bit about me: I am originally from Missouri, but moved to Chicago about 12 years ago to pursue theater and comedy in city. I am currently a working actor, but have been nannying for the past decade to supplement income. I have worked with many amazing families who I am still very close to! When I am not performing I enjoy staying very active, being outside, cooking and baking, playing and writing music, and exploring and enjoying the city with friends. I am currently looking for Part Time to Full Time work with the right family. I am also available to occasional bookings as well! I am very reliable and take my commitments with family's seriously. I like to help out my families any way that I can, whether that is helping with housework, cooking meals, organizing projects, and of course keeping their children happy and engaged! I am a strong believer in creativity and fun, and try my best to always incorporate that into time when I am working a job. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have for me, and look forward to potentially meeting your family!

ONLY AVAILABLE FOR DATE NIGHTS & WEEKENDS! .......BUT ALSO......... Available for P/T mornings & early afternoon beginning this fall... Hey! I'm Jasmin and I'm currently a fulltime Nanny/Household Manager for a family with 3 kiddos. Set of twins aged 5 & their 8 yr old brother. I will be transitioning to PT this fall as they will all begin full day school programs. I began as Night Nurse right after twins birth being that I'm also a Full Spectrum Doula & LactationEducator. I have tons of energy to match their needs as well as accomplish household duties. My skills with Time Management coupled with my slight OCD make an outstanding combination for a busy family with small children who need structure and cleanliness. I am very versatile and adaptable. I have been with all ages and have many years of experience. I ensure that the children remain in a safe environment while learning at the same time. I am a very punctual and respectful individual. I am very good with organizing and implementing rules as well.

Jasmin was terrific! My kids were comfortable with her immediately, and they had a great time.

Hi families! I’m Emily 👋🏼 A loving, experienced nanny with 10+ years in childcare. I began babysitting in college, earned my Bachelor’s in English, and went on to teach Pre-K and elementary students in Spain. 🇪🇸 Later, I pursued my Master’s in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Education. I’ve worked in classrooms ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade and am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities. I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports kids’ social-emotional development and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities include reading, yoga, outdoor play, crafts, and long walks! I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to practice with your little ones. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am great with pets. Since I teach during the school year, I’m currently available for seasonal summer care, with ongoing availability for evening and weekend babysitting. I’d love to build a warm, trusted relationship with your family! Warmly, Emily 🤍

We were so appreciative of Emily’s flexibility last minute. She was so nice with our baby and our dog. I would absolutely hire Emily again!

Hi families! My name is Jeannette, and I’m a loving, caring, and compassionate nanny with over 15 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve dedicated my life to nurturing and supporting children of all ages—from newborns and toddlers to school-aged kids and preteens. I bring warmth, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. My childcare journey began in high school as a part-time nanny, and since then, I’ve worked in Early Head Start programs, cared for children with special needs, and supported families with everything from daily routines to overnight care. I am CPR and first aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and currently work full-time as a Special Education Classroom Assistant in a public school. During summers, weekends, and evenings, I continue to nanny for wonderful families who need an extra set of loving hands. I’m energetic, creative, and love engaging kids in developmentally appropriate play, outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, and learning activities. I take pride in building trusting relationships with children and their parents and always strive to create a safe, joyful, and supportive environment. Whether you need part-time care, backup help, summer coverage, or a reliable sitter for date nights, I’m here to help. I understand how important it is to find someone you can count on—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Thank you for considering me to care for your little ones. I look forward to meeting you and becoming a trusted part of your child’s life! Warmly, Jeannette

Jeannette was absolutely amazing! She was extremely professional, thorough, and did an incredible job cleaning my house. Everything looked spotless and refreshed when she was done! She’s also so friendly, kind, and wonderful to work with. I’m so glad I had the chance to meet her and experience her services. I highly recommend Jeannette to anyone looking for a reliable and fantastic cleaner!

"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)."
