Esha $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a 23 year old recent college graduate who is planning on starting nursing school this summer. I grew up as the eldest sibling and eldest cousin of our family, so I have had ample experience caring for younger children of all ages. I also have a 4-year-old golden retriever at home and love working with pets. My friends would describe me as energetic, optimistic, creative and responsible. I grew up babysitting children of family members and family friends ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I also volunteered at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit at Lurie Children's Hospital for a summer, where I helped toddlers and young children recover after surgeries. Whether this meant playing bedside coloring book games, telling a funny story, taking patient temperatures, assisting with procedures and more -I have plenty of experience working with children and remaining calm in a high pressure setting. I am excited to use my experience to best care for your children and pets!

Gabriela $20 per hour for 1 child

As a dedicated and loving single mother of a 12-year-old boy, I have a deep understanding of children's needs and the importance of a nurturing environment. With over several years of experience caring for children, I have successfully managed the care of up to six kids simultaneously, ensuring their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. My day typically begins at 8AM, where I take pride in providing a structured routine, including drop-offs at daycare and school. I am passionate about creating a positive and engaging atmosphere for children, and my neighbors often sought my help for special occasions, highlighting my reliability and commitment. I enjoy cleaning and organizing, which not only keeps my space tidy but also helps me manage my time effectively. I am available for a background check and look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the happiness and development of your children. I am a caring nanny with experience in childcare and household management. I provide attentive care for children, maintain a clean home, and cook a variety of meals, specializing in American and Mexican cuisine. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive.

"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)."
