Booked by 3 families in Melrose Park, IL

Hi - My name is Britney I’m currently a student this year’s fall semester is my last semester. I’ve been around kids/children my whole life. I’ve always babysit my baby cousins, nieces & nephews when my love ones need them some “ME TIME” :) . Children are a bundle of joy & I love it . On my free time I like to cook , listen to Audio books, ride bikes , & do fun activities 🤍 I’m so excited!

We had a paid interview with Britney. She was early—and so warm and engaging with our 7 and 10 year old, even when one of them threw a gigantic tantrum. We are all forward to getting to know Britney even more. :)

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.

Michelle $25 per hour for 1 child

I grew up in a big family and always found myself taking care of the younger kids. I am an elementary education major so in high-school I took a preschool class that allowed me to get experience with 3-5 year olds. Then I joined my churches nursery so I got a little over a year of experience with infants and 2-3 with toddlers. I babysit my 3 month old niece often. I work at a daycare where I float around a lot. That has allowed me to have 8 months of experience with all ages up to 4-5. The child’s wellbeing has always been my priority but also making sure they’re having fun. Working at a daycare has also taught me to communicate better with kids and parents. Knowing what helps them when they can’t really speak for themselves or can’t form full sentences. After the daycare I became a director at a summer camp/after school program which gave me experience with ages 5-12.

"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)."
