Erin Chicago
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Erin. I am a child care worker based in Chicago and I am looking for a new family to nanny (full-time or part-time). I have around 10 years of experience in child care, and working with kids is one of my greatest passions! I currently work at a daycare, but I am looking to get back in to nannying/babysitting. I am also a dance teacher on the weekends! I am very flexible and and looking to start as soon as possible! Outside of child care, I am an artist, so I love to do activities involving dancing, singing, instruments, and art projects. I also love to incorporate outdoor activities and nature in to my care as much as possible!

Hello! I have 8 years of mixed experience with children 6 weeks to 10 years old with a specific focus on language, emotional, and cognitive development 6 months - 6 years. I am well-versed in conflict resolution, potty training, Montessori methods, and growth of fine and gross motor skills. I laugh loudly at the park and speak softly at the library. I make up songs with children that include their names and interests and teach children to cook. I drive families to airports, grocery shop, meal prep, handle repairs, organize and schedule appointments, and coordinate other household staff. I am adept in tutoring up through high school curriculum. I am able to set and keep pace with fast and slow track learning. I have experience with asthma, hearing aids, G-tubes, juvenile diabetes, autism, and many other special care needs. I got into the care business as a profession after helping my grandmother through her twilight years with dementia. My main goal in life is to be helpful. I have plenty of references who would love to hear from you and I look forward to hearing about your nanny/house manager needs!

Alex Chicago
$15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alex and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Chicago. I've been doing contract work since I graduated, but am looking for something more consistent as I prepare for and apply to law school. I'm offering child, pet, and house care services. I babysat throughout high school and, during the pandemic, nannied in Telluride, CO while attending class remotely for a year. While nannying I drove the kids to and from school, cooked, cleaned the house, tutored, fed and walked the dog, and regularly took the kids skiing.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
