Sandy 6 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

Greetings! I am an active mother of 4 grown children and aunt to 29 nieces and nephews. Being a mom has come natural as I grew up in a family with nine siblings and have taken care of children from an early age. I have plenty of experience with children of all ages! My third son has autism and additionally my nephew has down syndrome so I have very personal, hands-on experience with developmental disabilities. I enjoy crafts, bike riding, baking and tennis. I am hard working, reliable and attentive and look forward to meeting your family!

Not only have I watched Sandy firsthand show kindness and compassion while taking care of others, she is resourceful and creative in coming up with activities and events to engage children with special needs. Sandy has been connected to the special needs community for many years now and is always learning and applying her years of experience and knowledge in ways to help others. I can highly recommend Sandy as a special needs care giver. Your loved one would be in very good hands.

I am a sociology major who is interested in art, music, yoga, helping kids, and hope to one day get my masters in social work. I have over 5 years of experience working with kids from being a camp counselor, a teachers assistant in charter schools, and an inclusion companion at Nssra for children with disabilities. I would describe myself as kind, attentive, responsible, mature, and fun-loving. I am also more than happy to provide additional references. I am continuing to take classes this summer in the Chicago area so I have a flexible schedule that I can adjust to around need. I see babysitting as first and foremost a responsibilty to keep kids safe, happy, and going about their lives. I want to be there for you and your childs needs whether that be creating a fun activity or making sure they are in bed for a good nights sleep. I can’t wait to meet you!

"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)."
