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.

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!”

Booked by 7 families in Melrose Park, IL

For the past 20 years I have been entrusted to nurture newborns, to help preschoolers learn their numbers and letters, to organize fun activities, educational outgoings and to help families balance the many demands in their lives. As a mother of four children myself, I have always been privileged to help young people grow and learn. I continue to find this kind of work to be my labor of love.

“Kareena showed up early and jumped right in. She’s incredibly experienced and gave us tons of tips on things that have worked for her in the past. I can’t wait to have her come back! Our son loved her immediately.”

Hi, my name is Cielo! I’m the eldest of my siblings and have a natural knack for nurturing and caregiving. I’m currently working on getting my MBA, and I recently finished Mechanical Engineering degree at Northern Illinois University which has taught me excellent problem-solving and time-management skills which are great qualities for babysitting! I have hands-on experience caring for children, including a babysitting role during the summer of 2022 and helping raise my two younger sisters from infancy. I’m confident in creating a safe, fun, and educational environment for kids of all ages. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family and provide the care and support you’re looking for!

"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)."
