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 great! Kids loved her.

My name is Kasia and I am a fun, loving, caring, responsible, and reliable professional educator. While working with children I like to create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment in which the children are able to express themselves freely. I allow them to choose activities and build on their interests in order to challenge them; while also keeping activities age and developmentally appropriate. I strive to support the development of each individual child, and build a partnership with parents to support their wants, needs, and values. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a long lasting relationship with your children!

Hello, My name is Kiana and I am a fun loving, hardworking, energetic, and responsible professor/writer from Alabama. I graduated with my MFA in Screenwriting from AFI in 2021. I will be on sabbatical from my role as a professor at Cornell University and transitioning to the Chicago area. Looking for short term roles. I was a nanny and household manager all through college and grad school from 2012 to 2021. I genuinely love children and typically choose to pick up nanny gigs in the summer when I am on break from teaching. I am super organized and very responsible. I absolutely love children. I have extensive experience with children who are special needs or preemies. Open to range of roles. I have over a decade of professional experience. I have been CPR certified over 8 times. I have references from my summer nanny gig last year in LA. I am reliable and I am looking for a family who is as well. Feel free to reach out. I'd love to connect.

Excellent communicator and professional.

"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."

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)."
