Booked by 6 families in Park Forest, IL

I have been in child care in many different capacities for ten years and have experience with children of all ages. Having been a household manager, nanny, and even an au pair I have seen a little bit of everything. Currently I live on the north side of Chicago but I have my own car and am more than comfortable traveling. I have an undergraduate degree from Southern Illinois as well as a background in linguistics. Currently I am a career nanny but I also attend law school in a blended program. I am Red Cross first aid, CPR, and lifeguard certified as well.

Mayra $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mayra! I am currently offering childcare and housekeeping.I have started a degree in education and hope to finish soon! I began baby sitting for family members at 12 years old. At 18, I began working with school ages 5 and up in Sunday school. Eventually, I applied at a daycare at 19 and started in the infant room. Equipped with crucial knowledge and CPR classes, I am comfortable working with any age group. Crafts and fun activities are usually my favorite things to do with children. Household responsibilities I can handle include: cleaning, organizing, cooking, and running errands.

"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)."
