Hello, my name is Monica. I am a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver offering child care, senior/adult care, pet care, and household assistance. I love caring for others and creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment. I do my best to make everyday life a little easier for the families I work with. I have 10 years of nanny experience caring for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. As a nanny, my responsibilities have included: * Caring for infants and young children throughout the day * Preparing snacks and simple meals * Helping with nap and bedtime routines * School drop-off and pick-up * Driving children to activities, appointments, and outings * Library trips, playground visits, and other fun adventures * Arts and crafts, games, reading, and imaginative play * Helping with homework * Keeping children’s play areas and belongings tidy * Providing plenty of patience, encouragement, and positive attention I also have senior/adult caregiving experience and have appreciation for the importance of compassionate, respectful care. I’m happy to assist with companionship, light household tasks, errands, meal preparation, transportation, and other day-to-day support as needed. I’ve been providing petsitting services for around 15 years and absolutely love animals! I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other types of animals. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, give lots of pets (if they want them), and maintain their usual routines. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Erin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Erin. I am a child care worker based in Chicago and I am looking for a new family to nanny (full-time or part-time). I have around 10 years of experience in child care, and working with kids is one of my greatest passions! I currently work at a daycare, but I am looking to get back in to nannying/babysitting. I am also a dance teacher on the weekends! I am very flexible and and looking to start as soon as possible! Outside of child care, I am an artist, so I love to do activities involving dancing, singing, instruments, and art projects. I also love to incorporate outdoor activities and nature in to my care as much as possible!

Laila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents and families! I am currently working at a daycare/preschool but am looking to nanny! I have about 3 years of experience, mostly with infants but I have also spent a good amount of time in a toddler and preschool classrooms. Although I may not have a lot of experience with older children, I would love to learn and gain more experience! As well as being an assistant infant teacher, I do love to babysit in my free time, this also includes doing household tasks such as meal prepping, cleaning, and running errands. As I mentioned, I may not be as qualified as others, but I would love to be your nanny/caregiver because I know that I can and will learn about your child(ren), helping them to grow as they help me grow.

Sofia $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Wilmette, IL

⸻ Hello! My name is Sofia, and I am 24 years old. I graduated from Marquette University in May of 2024 with my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and am currently pursuing my master’s in HR at DePaul University. I moved to Chicago in early June of 2024 and since then have been nannying for a family I met through this app. I’m now seeking another part-time position since he will be starting preschool. I have 4 years of experience working with children in roles such as preschool teacher, nanny, and mental health technician. I value clear, efficient communication and always strive to provide that as a nanny. I enjoy keeping to a routine tailored to each child’s needs so they feel secure and know what to expect each day. My goal as a caregiver is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I’m also happy to help around the house or run any errands you may need—I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. My availability is flexible, but I’m usually available Monday–Friday anytime before 2:00 pm, with some availability for date nights as well.

"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)."
