Annika Chicago
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my names Annika and I have about 10 years of childcare experience with kids of all ages! Also experienced with housekeeping/cooking/pet care. I’ve worked in a variety of childcare modalities from teaching dance to toddlers (Tippi Toes), Nannying full time, babysitting for neighborhood families, overnight sitting, summer camp counseling, and more! I also have had a life long sense for working with kids and kind of a maternal instinct that comes from caring for my three siblings growing up :) Super flexible and open to creating whatever experience your kids need! Looking forward to connecting soon.

I grew up in New York City and currently reside in Chicago. I spent the last 2.5 years teaching English in Thailand to pre-k students until second-grade students. I have a lot of experience working with kids in different ways, such as doing homework, making crafts, cooking, putting kids to bed, and so much more. I am very nurturing and responsible. I am also CPR certified. I am excellent with kids, and I hope to make your life easier by watching them and helping out in whatever way I can!

Hanna Chicago
$29 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Hanna! I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking and playful creativity to my caregiving approach. Whether it's engaging in imaginative play with children, providing companionship for seniors, or supporting individuals with unique needs, I approach each relationship with curiosity, creativity, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference in the lives of those I care for. While my career has primarily been in corporate consulting and communications (Microsoft, Oracle, Zillow), I recently moved to Chicago to help raise my two nephews (1 and 3 years old) and pursue my passion for writing biographies of elders. Trained in Design Thinking innovation, I’m a skilled communicator and creative problem solver who tackles challenges with a roll-up-my-sleeves attitude. I also volunteer for a nonprofit called My Life, My Story, where I interview and author biographies of Veterans. I believe in respecting and learning from individuals of all ages, and strive to create meaningful connections in all my caregiving interactions. I’m trustworthy, reliable and compassionate, and committed to providing the highest level of care for your loved ones.

Savannah Chicago
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Savannah and I'm a recent graduate from Northwestern University (with my B.A. in Psychology)! I have always loved working with kids and would love to be a helpful addition for your family! I love chatting and getting to know kids and all they have to share about, in addition to having lots of fun ideas for activities we can try! I'm also very solid in my knowledge of elementary-aged school subjects and could be a helpful tutor to your little ones (I am quite a nerd myself and actually enjoy helping with homework if that sounds useful!). I am into all kinds of hobbies including arts and crafts (especially crochet) and dancing, but always open to learn new things! I've volunteered with toddlers and elementary-aged children in different settings and was also a part-time babysitter for boys who were a bit older (end of middle school) this past year, so I can connect with various age groups. I thoroughly enjoy growing bonds with children of all ages and value the time I can spend acting as a strong role model, while still keeping it fun and safe for everyone! My goal is to really "get in where I fit in" for the family and provide any additional services as needed, whether it be walking the dog or cleaning up the kitchen, so we can discuss however it works best for your current situation. I currently work part-time in a psychology lab at Northwestern, so much of that is pretty flexible timing-wise. If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to reach out and I'm sure we can find a plan that works best. Looking forward to hearing from 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)."

Eric D., dad of two
