Hi! I’m Jessica, a UIC graduate student with 10+ years of childcare experience. I’m a 5-star sitter trusted by families for being reliable, nurturing, and engaging. I’m comfortable caring for infants through toddlers, managing multiple children, handling diaper changes, mealtime cleanup, and planning age-appropriate, fun activities. I love building genuine connections with both kids and parents and always create a safe, happy environment. I’d love to support your family!

“Jessica was amazing with our 6 month old. We were looking for a sitter last minute and she came through. She was punctual, communicative and professional. You can tell Jessica is a natural with babies and enjoys being around them. ”

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!”

Booked by 12 families in Westchester, IL

Hi -My name is Gladys. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 and I have enjoyed getting to know each different kid. I started by watching my little brothers and sister and quickly learned that I had a talent for connecting with kids. I began watching kids around my neighborhood and even achieved a CPR certificate.

“Gladys has been our full time nanny since January. She has cared for our three children (11, 9, and 5) wonderfully. She has navigated crazy morning routines, a child with high anxiety, and lots of afterschool activities. She is patient with our children, keeps them on schedule and has been very engaging during the day with our youngest. She has a wonderful network of nannies in our area and set up play dates with other children and our son. She is very friendly, on time, and flexible. She has brought her daughter with and that has not impacted her ability to care for our children - in fact they absolutely adore her! We are sad to see Gladys go, but our kids will all be in full time school starting in the fall.”

Booked by 7 families in Westchester, IL

For the past 20 years I have been entrusted to nurture newborns, to help preschoolers learn their numbers and letters, to organize fun activities, educational outgoings and to help families balance the many demands in their lives. As a mother of four children myself, I have always been privileged to help young people grow and learn. I continue to find this kind of work to be my labor of love.

“Kareena showed up early and jumped right in. She’s incredibly experienced and gave us tons of tips on things that have worked for her in the past. I can’t wait to have her come back! Our son loved her immediately.”

Hello, my name is Adriana . A few years ago I worked at a daycare for a few months, taking care of boys and girls of all ages. My job was to make breakfast and lunch for the children, as well as providing personal care and naps. Later, I worked at a fresh market for over 4 years, serving salads among other jobs at the Tony's store. My jobs were in the produce department, cutting fruits and vegetables in the produce department. And... currently, I work in senior care for a company in the south Chicago area. I've been at this job for almost two years. I do housework, doctor's appointments, laundry, banking, among other jobs. I adapt to people. I am very patient and kind, and I travel all over Chicago. I also have letters of recommendation from employers, clients, and family. I like doing a good job, and I only like cats and dogs. And lastly, I'm Mexican and I speak Spanish and basic English.

"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."

"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)."
