Britanya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Hi! My name is Britney, and I’m 25 years old. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor's degree in Illustration. I would describe myself as optimistic, creative, kind, and a little silly. My long-term goals are to pursue a variety of artistic career opportunities and someday become a mother myself. I enjoy working with children because I love being a positive role model and helping them learn, grow, and feel supported. I began babysitting for friends and family, which led me to work at a daycare as a Teacher's Assistant and Floater. These experiences helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and patience skills. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, playing video games, and spending time with friends and family. One thing families should know about me is that I highly value respect, honesty, and open communication. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child I work with.

Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I'm Becca. I've been a nanny for over 5 years, mostly caring for infants and toddlers. I love helping with feeding, naps, playtime, and hitting those early milestones - all while following the routines and preferences of each family. The family I'm with is ending care early due to a medical emergency, so I'm looking for something new. My schedule's super flexible right now, and I'd love to chat to see if we're a good fit!

Emily $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a current graduate student at Loyola looking for part time babysitting or nannying gigs! I started working with kids around 12, and was a camp counselor for 3 years for kids ages 7-17. I work part time currently, but have a fairly flexible schedule! I have my own transportation, and am willing to work with pets.

Maddy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maddy and I’m 29 years old. I have recently moved to the Avalon area in Chicago and am seeking a full-time position as a nanny. In August of 2019, I graduated from Montclair State University in New Jersey with a degree in Child Advocacy and Policy. I have lots of experience working with children and nannying. My first nannying position was in 2017 where I spent the summer as an au pair in Spain caring for three children aged 3,5, and 7. During my senior year of college, I spent my mornings nannying an 8-year-old girl. During the summer of 2018 and 2019, I worked in the Goddard School as a lead teacher for classrooms of up to 20 children between the ages of 2 and 4. I have plenty of experience with potty training, meal-time, nap time, and implementing a schedule and lesson plans. I have also worked as a nanny the past five years in Nashville ranging from newborn to six-years old!

"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)."
