Booked by 2 families in Skokie, IL

I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing, and I bring not only responsibility and dedication but also a lot of creativity , a quality I apply in both childcare and daily tasks. I have experience with babies as young as 4 months old, as well as with children over 5 years old, always ensuring a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I enjoy creating playful and educational activities tailored to each child’s age. I'm an animal lover and happy to help care for pets with love, and I’m also willing to assist with household organization when needed. I'm communicative, proactive, and truly enjoy contributing to a family's well-being.

She calm with the kids and trying to know them. She played with them during bed time and they like her around

Booked by 6 families in Skokie, IL

Hello! My name is Chloe and I've been working in childcare since I was practically a child myself! Nothing brings me more joy and fulfillment than caring for children, and watching them learn, play and grow. Outside of childcare, I am very passionate about art, theater and travel, and I incorporate these passions into my education and care. I love doing both structured and free form art activities with children, and I believe art, dance and music are fundamental to a child's development. I also have lived abroad in both Costa Rica and Guatemala, and enjoy speaking/teaching Spanish to the children I care for, while also opening them up to cultures from around the world. If you are looking for a nanny who is energetic, warm, creative, and will love your child like their own, then we might be a great fit!

Wow she is amazing and super cute with my daughter even had a fun bag for her ready!

De’ja $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Skokie, IL

Hello! I'm De'ja, a Chicago-based caregiver with 7 years of experience caring for infants through elementary-aged children. I strive to create a safe, fun, and dependable environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable while parents have peace of mind. I have experience with Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, incorporating art, loose parts, and imaginative play into daily activities. I enjoy creating engaging, play-based learning experiences that support academic and social development. I've also worked in programs that emphasize nature-based play, including outdoor exploration and community adventures, which is something I truly enjoy. I hold an Associate's degree in Art with coursework in Early Childhood Education, and I'm currently pursuing my BA in an asynchronous online program for Psychology with a focus on child development. I enjoy staying active, art, STEM, books, and games!

Booked by 1 family in Skokie, IL

I've been a cat owner for five years now. I have four cats now, two of which require medication. I grew up with dogs, who also required medication so I'm very comfortable with pets with special needs. I have been a pet/plant/house sitter to friends, family, and neighbors and I'd love to do the same for you.

Beauregard is a great pet sitter! Very reliable and attentive to our pets' needs. He was punctual and responsive, and went above and beyond to spend time petting and playing with our pets. He even sent us updates so we could see they were doing great while we were away. Definitely will be hiring him again!

"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)."
