I’ve had the opportunity to nanny for 20+ families, whether it be ocasional sitting or reoccurring, I am equipped for the job. I have also worked for the Chicago Park District for three summers. Over that time I’ve cared for hundreds of children. I’ve learned how to best plan and execute daily activities. I am attentive and open to learning how to care for each and every person.

Hi -My name is Gladys. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 and I have enjoyed getting to know each different kid. I started by watching my little brothers and sister and quickly learned that I had a talent for connecting with kids. I began watching kids around my neighborhood and even achieved a CPR certificate.

“Gladys has been our full time nanny since January. She has cared for our three children (11, 9, and 5) wonderfully. She has navigated crazy morning routines, a child with high anxiety, and lots of afterschool activities. She is patient with our children, keeps them on schedule and has been very engaging during the day with our youngest. She has a wonderful network of nannies in our area and set up play dates with other children and our son. She is very friendly, on time, and flexible. She has brought her daughter with and that has not impacted her ability to care for our children - in fact they absolutely adore her! We are sad to see Gladys go, but our kids will all be in full time school starting in the fall.”

I love kids and babysitting, I tend to have a lot of patience with kids and my love kids and taking care of them is something that I find natural and easy to do I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 years old. I took care of my younger siblings when my parents went to work and basically I was their mom because my parents were very busy. My responsibilities, I can bath kids, help with assignments and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own dad. I can cook, I have a car and a valid driver’s license. I have a cat and I’ll be happy to work with families with dogs and cats.

“Genuinely a kind person at heart. Love the kids and came with her own toys to entertain the kids. Spent quality time with the kids by drawing, coloring, painting and resorting to screen time last. I recommend her to any family! ”

"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)."
