Booked by 2 families in Oak Park, IL

I’m a dependable and caring babysitter with 3 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. I’m certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, so safety is always a top priority. I’ve helped with everything from diaper changes and feeding to homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ve cared for up to three kids at once and bring patience, positive energy, and a calm presence to every home. Whether it’s a fun-filled day or a quiet evening routine, I aim to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel secure and parents feel confident.

Julia was professional the entire time. Came on time and kept my child engaged the whole time. Our little one loved spending time with her.

I have been working on and off in childcare simce I was in early high school! I was trained by the red cross in Babysitting and standard CPR/ First Aid and have kept up with my certification. I love engaging kids in their imaginations as I am in the creative world myself. I am also passionate about being active and love games and activities that involve movement. I know the importance of good communication and always make that my top priority when it comes to working with families. I believe that trust is built on effective communication. I am a very energetic and bubbly person, so I really love talking with kids and bringing them out of their shells!

"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

"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)."
