Booked by 1 repeat family
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Skokie, IL

Hi! My name is Breanna, and I’m based in Uptown, Chicago. As the oldest of several siblings, caregiving has always come naturally to me. I’ve been working in childcare since I was 14, starting in daycare environments and expanding to private homes. With over a decade of hands-on experience, I’ve supported children through everything from temper tantrums to milestone moments, and I specialize in working with kids between 6 months and 14 years old. I’m reliable, patient, and deeply committed to creating safe, engaging spaces for children to grow. I’m also happy to assist with light housework and chores to make your day easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care and senior companionship. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your family’s needs!

Lucy $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Lucy, and I’m 24 years old! I have lots of experience in childcare, as I grew up in a big family and have been consistently babysitting and nannying since I was 12 years old. I like to provide a safe and nurturing environment while encouraging creativity and play. My most recent nanny experiences have been with children aged 0-3, but I’m comfortable with any age. I also have held jobs in elementary schools for the past 3 years as a sign language interpreter, so I am able to assist any communication frustrations with sign, if that’s something the family is interested in. I’m currently looking for full time work. I live in Logan Square, but I have a car so I’m able to travel further if need be. Please let me know if you have any questions! I’m excited for the opportunity to work with your family!

Claire $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is Claire, I’m 24 years old, and I’ve spent the past 10 years working with children of various ages. I worked as an overnight camp counselor for 9 & 10 year olds for two years, and then as a day camp counselor for Kindergartners for four years. Before starting to work in non-profit, I spent a year working as a full-time nanny for a family of two boys aged 4 and 6. For the last three years, I have been working in the Non-Profit sector with kids of various ages. I spent a year with the AmeriCorp organizing an enrichment program for homeless youth, and my specific site cared for about 10 kids aged K-6. Since then, I have been working at another organization as a Lead Youth Mentor to plan and lead an after school program for underprivileged school-aged kids. This job has also allowed me to spend time in Early Childhood Education, where I have received my ECE, first aid, and Mandated Reporter certificates. I have a year of experience working with toddlers, a year of experience working with Pre-K, and some experience with infant care. I have a valid US diver’s license and car, and have years of experience in teaching English/Reading comprehension for both pre-school and school-aged children, STEM curriculum/activity planning, tutoring (up to high school age primarily), arts organizing, and emotion coaching. Additionally, I adore animals (excluding maybe spiders), and would love to care for family pets as well! I have truly enjoyed working with children of all ages in such different settings over the past decade and would love to meet some new families! Please don’t hesitate to reach out and share what goals and expectations you have for the position—working with kids has definitely taught me to be patient and flexible.

Tatum $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tatum and I graduated from Loyola University Chicago in May of 2024. I just finished an internship here in Chicago and plan on moving out of Chicago at the end of May so have a couple of months left to explore and try new things! I spent two summers (2020 and 2021) between college working as a full-time nanny for two kids back home (ages 5 to 6 and 8 to 9), helping them make lunch, taking them to activities/sports, and playing games with them. I also would help them with their summer workbooks including reading comprehension, writing, and math (even when it was the last thing they wanted to do). I am someone who enjoys being active, on their feet, and finding creative ways to spend my time, whether that be arts and crafts, reading, trying a new recipe, or just calling someone to chat when I get bored!

"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)."
