Tania $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I'm Tania. I recently moved to Chicago in July, and I'm 20 years old and bilingual. I adore animals—my roommate has a cat, and I just welcomed a new kitten into my apartment. Back home, I have a large dog named Riley who I miss everyday. I love meeting and connecting with new furballs, and I would love to work with your little ones and fur babies. I consider myself outgoing, kind, and passionate about what I do. As a college student, I bring a fun and active energy to my interactions. I enjoy arts and crafts, cooking, and baking, and I’d love to share these activities with the kids! Baking together can be such a fun way to bond and create something delicious. Although I’m new to babysitting professionally, I have experience caring for my niece and nephew back home. I started looking after my nephew when he was just one year old, which taught me a lot about patience and creativity in keeping little ones engaged. I’m excited to apply that experience in my babysitting role here, ensuring a positive and memorable experience for your little ones. I'm excited to create a nurturing and fun environment where kids can thrive, whether through play, learning, or simply having a good time together.

Laila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents and families! I am currently working at a daycare/preschool but am looking to nanny! I have about 3 years of experience, mostly with infants but I have also spent a good amount of time in a toddler and preschool classrooms. Although I may not have a lot of experience with older children, I would love to learn and gain more experience! As well as being an assistant infant teacher, I do love to babysit in my free time, this also includes doing household tasks such as meal prepping, cleaning, and running errands. As I mentioned, I may not be as qualified as others, but I would love to be your nanny/caregiver because I know that I can and will learn about your child(ren), helping them to grow as they help me grow.

I have worked with children of different ages and have strong experience with newborn and infant care. I am also a parent myself and spent several months closely involved in hospital care alongside doctors, nurses, and specialists, which gave me a deep understanding of infant safety, routines, and medical awareness. My responsibilities have included feeding, diapering, sleep routines, playtime, developmental activities, and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. I am CPR and First Aid trained and always prioritize children’s well-being and comfort. I also provide attentive care for seniors and can assist with errands, appointments, and daily tasks as needed.

"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)."
