Greetings! My name is Daniela — I’m 28 years old and have been nannying for over 7 years now. I’ve worked with families in both short- and long-term roles, and I take my responsibilities seriously. I believe caring for children requires not just reliability and patience, but also genuine care and respect for both the kids and their families. I love engaging little ones in activities that support their development — from puzzles and reading to homework help and play that encourages curiosity. A couple fun facts about me: I’m a big country music lover and a proud Cubs fan.

Hello my name is Yancy. I recently graduated from SIUC with a BA in psychology. I have taken courses in child development. I have also worked at a daycare. I was a lead teacher to a classroom or about 15-20 students ranging from the ages of 3-5. But I also have experience working with infants and other ages. I am CPR certified.

Yancy was amazing with my children. All 4 loved having her over. She was communicative, prompt, and respectful.

Hello, My name is Dorah and I am a senior at Saint Mary's College with a Physics major and a Philosophy minor. I would love to help out in any way that I can and I love children; that is why I am on UrbanSitter. I am a daughter of 5 hailing from a southern suburb of Chicago. I have taken care of my younger sister in her younger years and I take care of my grandfather whenever I am home. I am very experienced in taking care of children of all ages and have a good bit of my experience sitting a 3 and 7 year old in the south bend area with past experience sitting as young as 2 years old. I also have experience sitting a 9 year old non-verbal girl with autism. Please let mw know if you have anymore questions and I would love to talk!

Dorah was on time which I appreciated, when she got to our home my little guy was taking a nap. My little guy took a nap most of the time that Dorah at our home. When he got up she followed all the instructions to feed him his lunch, she was communicative, and even sent me a picture of my little guy smiling. Thank you Dorah!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
