Hi, I’m Judith! I’m 27, a French student living in Chicago. Caring for children has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I come from a big family of ten, with fourteen nieces and nephews, so I became the family’s go-to babysitter the moment I was old enough to look after little ones on my own. Since then I’ve cared for children of every age, from three-month-old infants to teenagers. One thing families tell me often is how quickly their kids warm up to me, even the shy or picky ones. I’m calm, patient, and genuinely fun to be around, and I know how to earn a child’s trust without rushing it. Parents also count on me to be reliable and easy to work with. I show up on time, stay in touch throughout, and take the initiative to help wherever I can. I love bringing a little extra to my time with kids. I play guitar and piano, I sing, and I enjoy sharing the languages I speak. Whether it’s a quiet afternoon, a full day of activities, or an evening routine, you can count on your child being safe, engaged, and well cared for.

Hi there! Thank you for considering me to care for your child. I just moved from Denver to Chicago and I am excited to connect with some new families for babysitting opportunities. I work as a mental health therapist but have varied availability to assist with child care needs as they pop up! I have 10 years of experience, which includes working in a nursery, assistant coaching at cheer and dance camps, volunteering with youth in after-school programs, and nannying for kiddos ranging from two months to twelve years old. If you are looking for an occasional sitter you can trust, feel free to reach out. I’d love to speak with you!

"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)."
