Hello! My name is Hannah, and it is so great to virtually meet you! A bit about me: I am originally from Missouri, but moved to Chicago about 12 years ago to pursue theater and comedy in city. I am currently a working actor, but have been nannying for the past decade to supplement income. I have worked with many amazing families who I am still very close to! When I am not performing I enjoy staying very active, being outside, cooking and baking, playing and writing music, and exploring and enjoying the city with friends. I am currently looking for Part Time to Full Time work with the right family. I am also available to occasional bookings as well! I am very reliable and take my commitments with family's seriously. I like to help out my families any way that I can, whether that is helping with housework, cooking meals, organizing projects, and of course keeping their children happy and engaged! I am a strong believer in creativity and fun, and try my best to always incorporate that into time when I am working a job.

Hi Parents, My name is Donna, and I am an experienced, CPR-certified nanny with a background in Early Child Development. I have extensive experience caring for multiple children from infancy through school age, including managing meal prep and bedtime routines. I love engaging children in hands-on activities like arts, crafts, and imaginary play. I am energetic, flexible, and dedicated to providing nurturing care. Additionally, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping and always ensure spaces are cleaned before I leave. I have excellent reviews from long-term families and look forward to connecting with you. Thank you for your time. Best, Donna R.

Donna was a nanny for my two grandchildren for two years. One was a newborn and the other was a toddler. My daughter does not do social media so she asked I write this for her. Donna is a very attentive, hands on, loving and caring nanny. She is wonderful at helping children reach milestones and is a pro at recommending what toys develop motor hand -eye coordination, She loved taking the children to the park and going on walks with the stroller and playtime always included a motor or cognitive development lesson. As well as reading to them. My grandkids loved her. She is also an amazing cook and baker and made nutritious and delicious meals for the kids. I think she would be a wonderful asset to any parent in helping their child develop and the parent can work and have peace of mind that their child is in good hands,

"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)."
