Luz $10 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been an aunt since I was 6 years old to now 6 kids, 3 nephews and 3 nieces. I’m the youngest from my 6 siblings which led to them always leaving their children with me but I never saw it as a problem because I’ve always loved them so so so so much. The youngest at the moment is 2 years old and I cannot get enough of her. My boyfriend has two little siblings ages 4 and 6 and I have such a strong bond with them too. Everywhere I go, kids just love me and I love them harder.

Erin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Erin. I am a child care worker based in Chicago and I am looking for a new family to nanny (full-time or part-time). I have around 10 years of experience in child care, and working with kids is one of my greatest passions! I currently work at a daycare, but I am looking to get back in to nannying/babysitting. I am also a dance teacher on the weekends! I am very flexible and and looking to start as soon as possible! Outside of child care, I am an artist, so I love to do activities involving dancing, singing, instruments, and art projects. I also love to incorporate outdoor activities and nature in to my care as much as possible!

"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)."
