Booked by 12 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi -My name is Gladys. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 and I have enjoyed getting to know each different kid. I started by watching my little brothers and sister and quickly learned that I had a talent for connecting with kids. I began watching kids around my neighborhood and even achieved a CPR certificate.

“Gladys has been our full time nanny since January. She has cared for our three children (11, 9, and 5) wonderfully. She has navigated crazy morning routines, a child with high anxiety, and lots of afterschool activities. She is patient with our children, keeps them on schedule and has been very engaging during the day with our youngest. She has a wonderful network of nannies in our area and set up play dates with other children and our son. She is very friendly, on time, and flexible. She has brought her daughter with and that has not impacted her ability to care for our children - in fact they absolutely adore her! We are sad to see Gladys go, but our kids will all be in full time school starting in the fall.”

Hello, My name is Kiana and I am a fun loving, hardworking, energetic, and responsible professor/writer from Alabama. I graduated with my MFA in Screenwriting from AFI in 2021. I will be on sabbatical from my role as a professor at Cornell University and transitioning to the Chicago area. Looking for short term roles. I was a nanny and household manager all through college and grad school from 2012 to 2021. I genuinely love children and typically choose to pick up nanny gigs in the summer when I am on break from teaching. I am super organized and very responsible. I absolutely love children. I have extensive experience with children who are special needs or preemies. Open to range of roles. I have over a decade of professional experience. I have been CPR certified over 8 times. I have references from my summer nanny gig last year in LA. I am reliable and I am looking for a family who is as well. Feel free to reach out. I'd love to connect.

“Excellent communicator and professional.”

"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)."
