Hello! My name is Hannah, and it is so great to virtually meet you! A bit about me: I am originally from Missouri, but moved to Chicago about 12 years ago to pursue theater and comedy in city. I am currently a working actor, but have been nannying for the past decade to supplement income. I have worked with many amazing families who I am still very close to! When I am not performing I enjoy staying very active, being outside, cooking and baking, playing and writing music, and exploring and enjoying the city with friends. I am currently looking for Part Time to Full Time work with the right family. I am also available to occasional bookings as well! I am very reliable and take my commitments with family's seriously. I like to help out my families any way that I can, whether that is helping with housework, cooking meals, organizing projects, and of course keeping their children happy and engaged! I am a strong believer in creativity and fun, and try my best to always incorporate that into time when I am working a job. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have for me, and look forward to potentially meeting your family!

Hi, and thank you for looking at my profile. My name is Mirella and I absolutely love children! I've been working with them for 20 years now. I graduated from Columbia College with a bachelor's in music business management & marketing, as well as early childhood education. I also have a master's degree in internet marketing. I have extensive experience and education in child development that I am constantly continuing. I have been a professional babysitter, professional nanny, daycare provider, nursery attendant, camp counselor, tutor, ECE teacher (birth-2nd grade), and Newborn Care Specialist (birth-18months).

Lastly, I am an Expert at CareNectar.com Most importantly, I truly adore children! I treat each child as if they are my own to give them the best love and care possible.

So hopefully I'll get to meet you at an event soon! In my spare time, I love spending time with my husband, friends and family. I also love to travel, support the arts, and do charity work. So whether it's spending the day with your precious little one, training your full-time caregiver, or giving you support, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Take care! :-)

Hi families! I’m Emily 👋🏼 A loving, experienced nanny with 10+ years in childcare. I began babysitting in college, earned my Bachelor’s in English, and went on to teach Pre-K and elementary students in Spain. 🇪🇸 Later, I pursued my Master’s in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Education. I’ve worked in classrooms ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade and am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities. I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports kids’ social-emotional development and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities include reading, yoga, outdoor play, crafts, and long walks! I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to practice with your little ones. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am great with pets. Since I teach during the school year, I’m currently available for seasonal summer care, with ongoing availability for evening and weekend babysitting. I’d love to build a warm, trusted relationship with your family! Warmly, Emily 🤍

“We were so appreciative of Emily’s flexibility last minute. She was so nice with our baby and our dog. I would absolutely hire Emily 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)."
