Booked by 6 families in Northfield, IL

Hello! My name is Chloe and I've been working in childcare since I was practically a child myself! Nothing brings me more joy and fulfillment than caring for children, and watching them learn, play and grow. Outside of childcare, I am very passionate about art, theater and travel, and I incorporate these passions into my education and care. I love doing both structured and free form art activities with children, and I believe art, dance and music are fundamental to a child's development. I also have lived abroad in both Costa Rica and Guatemala, and enjoy speaking/teaching Spanish to the children I care for, while also opening them up to cultures from around the world. If you are looking for a nanny who is energetic, warm, creative, and will love your child like their own, then we might be a great fit!

Liberty $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Liberty. I am a 21 year old special needs pre - k teacher looking for a side job. I am in school to become a pediatric nurse. I love fun activities, helping out, making the kids day better. I can cook, clean, and complete any tasks needed. I was a daycare assistant in my grandmas daycare since I was 13. So my whole life is pretty much involved with kids. I have my own car, so I don’t mind taking the kids out for mini brain breaks, ice cream, dinner and etc activities. I’m all in for kid fun as I always play with my pre k class at recess.. lol. I hope I can be a great fit for your family.

"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)."
