Makela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Makela, but most people call me Kela. I am currently completing my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up in a childcare setting—my mother has owned and operated a home daycare in Chicago for over 20 years—so nurturing and supporting children has been part of my world from a young age. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, and I currently work as a mentor and youth advocate supporting teens and families. I love caregiving because it allows me to build meaningful relationships, support development, and create safe spaces where children feel seen, valued, and encouraged to learn through play. I’m patient, dependable, and creative. Outside of caregiving, I’m also a seamstress and fashion designer, which means I love bringing creativity, crafts, and imagination into daily activities. If chosen to work with your family, you can expect a caring, attentive, and engaged caregiver who truly enjoys helping children grow.

"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)."
