Hey! I’m Nikki the Nanny! I’m funny, easygoing, bright, communicative, energetic, adaptable, compassionate and simply adore children and all animals. I’m a career nanny and mother with over sixteen years of experience with children from 0-12. I’ve cared for up to three children at once and have had multiple successful nanny shares. As a nanny I can organize themed weeks highlighting one particular animal, sound, culture, idea, with trips, art, or music associated with that theme. Book making, science projects, sewing, directing little films, art, dance, robot building and more are all fun activities I’ve done with my nanny kids. I drive, swim, don’t smoke and I’m current in all immunizations. I can lift over 100lbs, walk long distances, paint, play sports, cook, assemble furniture, food prep and have early speech therapy training and teach baby sign language as well. I live on the north side of Chicago. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I have impeccable professional references however my toddler and my teenager are my greatest references. My teenager is bright, happy, confident, hilarious and attends the Lane Tech High School AP Omega program earning college credits as a senior. My toddler has over 200 words and understands some Spanish. I raise them with love, patience, discipline and respect with a focus on education, the same things I implement into my “nannying”. Thank you for stopping by!

Hi! My name is Paulina, and I am currently offering childcare services. I have been caring for newborns and infants for the past two years, and it has been a wonderful experience! I love babies and enjoy being part of their growth and development. I handle stimulating games and activities, take them for walks and outdoor outings, and am always very attentive to nap and mealtime routines. I also offer cat-sitting services; I love cats and have cared for them since I was very young!

We had the pleasure of having Paulina as our au pair for two years, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She cared for our children during formative years—from ages 2.5 and 4.5 through to 4.5 and 6.5—with genuine warmth and professionalism. A year ago, we had a new baby. Paulina was particularly wonderful with him during his first year, providing the attentive, nurturing care that new parents hope for. She wasn't just going through the motions; she was genuinely invested in his development and growth as he hit all those early milestones. Our older child also thrived under her care, and we appreciated how she adapted her approach to meet each child's individual needs. Beyond day-to-day care, Paulina brought reliability, responsibility, and a natural warmth to our home. Parents can rest assured that their children are in capable, caring hands with her. We give Paulina our highest recommendation and wouldn't hesitate to hire her 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."

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)."
