$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Northfield, IL

Hello! I’m Bella, an aspiring actor who just graduated from Florida Int. University and recently moved to Chicago! I moved from Florida where I gained 3 years of experience as a summer camp counselor, 2 year of tutoring, 3 years of children’s voice lesson, and a case of chronic baby fever. I also have 5 years of experience in children’s entertainment, where I performed as many characters from children’s shows so I’m fully equipped to take over your next Frozen sing-along, you deserve a break 💗 My goal is always fun learning. With a background in theatre, I’ve understood how important it is for kids to have an outlet while learning respect, kindness, and compassion. As a nanny, I hope to add that extra sprinkle to their everyday lives while also providing the essentials. I have also grown up around animals like dogs, turtles, and am currently a mother to the world’s cutest dwarf hamster! I feel completely comfortable around animals if you have a furry friend around! I have 8 years of experience with volunteer work so I’m highly empathetic towards family situations and understand that it makes the world of a difference to have a helping hand. I would love to provide that service.

Itzel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Itzel. I am currently in college working on my associates for Nursing pediatric care. I enjoy being active and playing sports. I’ve been babysitting and senior care since I was about 16 years old and I enjoy it. Being able to spend time with children and others is great. I enjoy watching them grow and being able to support them. Being creative and teaching new activities as well as learning new things they also like. Staying organized and helping others also makes me happy especially when it also makes them happy. Also organizing and cleaning is very important for safety. I enjoy making different kinds of food/meals. It just feels great being there for someone & supporting them!

"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."

"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)."
