$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 10 families in Plainfield, IL

HELLO ✨ Before I blab about myself, I’d like to first extend a warm welcome and hug of encouragement! Raising little people can be ROUGH and we’re all doing the best we can, which is why I’m so passionate about “The Village” ! It takes a community to raise decent human beings. That’s where I come in as a helping hand. My experience dates back to over a decade. I’ve worked with kids ranging between preemie infants to transitioning young adults, including disabled & special need individuals💛💙🥰 I’m looking for a full time long term family to grow with as a nanny or full/part time babysitting. I’m usually flexible, and always easy going. Reliable, alert, and safe.

Chanyelle was wonderful and very caring. She was calm, patient, and attentive while watching over my sleeping kids. She made sure they were safe and comfortable throughout the night and kept the house peaceful and organized. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my children were in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and reliability, and i would gladly recommend her to other families.

"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)."
