Hi there! I’m Nataly, I’m 25.I study biology at UIC. I’ve worked with multiple families around the Chicago area. I was a part time Pre-K teacher back in my home country. I currently work for a wonderful family in River North soon to relocate to Roscoe Village. My Schedule allows me to babysit for date nights during the week after 5pm. And weekends at any time needed. I’m a very creative and calm person. I thrive on an easy going chill environment. I love to get to know every single kiddo I have babysat and my goal is o make them comfortable as well as your parents. I’ve work as a full time nanny for around 6 years but I have about 9 years of experience with nannying and babysitting. I’m able to take care of up to 4 kids if Ages are between 2 and 12. Only 2 if they are under 2 years old. I’m CPR trained. Speak Spanish and English both fluent. Drivers license and clean record. Pre-K teacher experience Have worked for 20+ families in the Chicago area Happy to provide references. Open to weekend arrangements or school drop off and pick ups within my range of work. Would love to connect with more families! Let’s chat!

Nataly was absolutely wonderful. Our 2 year old gave her a glowing review. His bedtime routine is kind of a nightmare, and Nataly was able to manage it better than Mom and Dad. Highly reccomend.

Sean 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a people person through and through — caring for others has always come naturally to me. I’ve spent the past few years doing a little bit of everything: babysitting, nannying, housecleaning, organizing, and supporting families who just need that extra set of reliable hands. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from energetic toddlers to thoughtful teens. I love finding fun ways to keep them engaged, creative, and laughing. Arts and crafts, dancing in the living room, reading storybooks with silly voices, that’s my kind of day. When it comes to cleaning and housekeeping, I’m equal parts detail oriented and easygoing. I actually enjoy bringing order and sparkle back into a space , there’s something so satisfying about making a home feel peaceful again. I’m big on communication and always check in to make sure things are done the way you like them. I think everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and respected. And if there’s a pet in the house, even better! I’m the type who talks to animals like they understand every word. People usually describe me as dependable, kind, and upbeat. I’m the person who shows up on time, keeps a positive attitude, and genuinely cares about the people (and pets!). At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to make life a little easier, a little cleaner, and a lot brighter for the families I work with.

Sean is a very talented and genuinely kind person who loves helping kids find their dreams and follow through with their goals! I worked with him while we led theatre camp, he is very good at keeping kids attention and making sure everyone is having fun and can be themselves! Kids love him !

Booked by 3 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi! My name is Nick, and I’m passionate about working with children of all ages and abilities. I currently work in Chicago Public Schools as a Special Education Classroom Assistant in a cluster program serving Kindergarten through 2nd grade. This has strengthened my commitment to supporting students with diverse needs. Before joining CPS, I worked in an assisted living home, which helped me develop patience, empathy, and strong caregiving skills. I’ve also worked with the Chicago Park District for the past eight years as a summer camp counselor, helping run day camps, lead activities, and build positive relationships with kids. In addition, I coach high school baseball every spring and am currently in my sixth season, which has given me experience motivating older students and creating a supportive, team-focused environment. I’m also a student at National Louis University, where I’m studying Elementary Education. Families describe me as caring, responsible, and energetic. I’m CPR-certified and experienced in supporting children with special needs. Above all, I strive to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children can learn and grow. I’m looking for a family who values kindness, communication, and trust, and I’d love the chance to provide dependable care you can count on.

"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)."
