Hey! I’m Nikki the Nanny! I’m funny, easygoing, bright, communicative, energetic, adaptable, compassionate and simply adore children and all animals. I’m a career nanny and mother with over sixteen years of experience with children from 0-12. I’ve cared for up to three children at once and have had multiple successful nanny shares. As a nanny I can organize themed weeks highlighting one particular animal, sound, culture, idea, with trips, art, or music associated with that theme. Book making, science projects, sewing, directing little films, art, dance, robot building and more are all fun activities I’ve done with my nanny kids. I drive, swim, don’t smoke and I’m current in all immunizations. I can lift over 100lbs, walk long distances, paint, play sports, cook, assemble furniture, food prep and have early speech therapy training and teach baby sign language as well. I live on the north side of Chicago. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I have impeccable professional references however my toddler and my teenager are my greatest references. My teenager is bright, happy, confident, hilarious and attends the Lane Tech High School AP Omega program earning college credits as a senior. My toddler has over 200 words and understands some Spanish. I raise them with love, patience, discipline and respect with a focus on education, the same things I implement into my “nannying”. Thank you for stopping by!

Hi! I’m currently looking for a babysitting/nanny position when I’m on thanksgiving and winter break (November 24-29) + (December 21-January 4). I’m a graduate from Loyola University and just finished my Masters in Education. I’ve been working with children from the ages of 3 months to 13 years old for 7+ years now and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have years of experience in the school/classroom setting as well as babysitting for all different age levels. Working in these positions is a very fulfilling and rewards experience that taught me patience, creativity, and responsibility. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or simply offering a listening ear, each interaction I’ve had contributes to the love I have for my job and building that safe and nurturing environment!

“Brianna has a sweet and nurturing nature that is immediately clear the second she walked in the door. Prior to the job, she was very communicative and responsive. She was professional and genuinely has a passion for spending time with kids. ”

Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I'm Becca. I've been a nanny for over 5 years, mostly caring for infants and toddlers. I love helping with feeding, naps, playtime, and hitting those early milestones - all while following the routines and preferences of each family. The family I'm with is ending care early due to a medical emergency, so I'm looking for something new. My schedule's super flexible right now, and I'd love to chat to see if we're a good fit!

Cearra $28 per hour for 1 child

I bring a well rounded background in childcare, education, wellness, and behavioral support, with experience caring for children across many ages, abilities, and settings. I’ve worked as a babysitter, a co-lead teacher in infant and toddler classrooms at Bright Horizons, and for Jumpstart during college, supporting early literacy and social-emotional development with young children. I also have experience creating fun, high energy environments from my time at Chuck E. Cheese, as well as coaching cheerleading, where I supported teamwork, confidence, and physical coordination. I’m currently a certified children’s yoga teacher and puppy yoga instructor, integrating movement, mindfulness, and play to help children regulate their energy, build body awareness, and feel confident in their bodies. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and have previous Behavioral Technician training, including experience supporting autistic children and working with NorthShore Pediatric Therapy in Chicago, giving me a strong foundation in developmental awareness, patience, and individualized care. While I don’t have children of my own, I’m a proud cat mom, and I approach caregiving with a nurturing, calm, and attentive presence. I am reliable, engaging, safety focused, and intentional, whether that means structured activities, gentle guidance, or simply creating a supportive, fun environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am also certified in Accessible & Chair Yoga that is great for seniors.

"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)."
