Irma L. $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Irma, but I prefer to go by my middle name, Laura. I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Latina with over 12 years of experience in early childhood education — 6 years as a kindergarten teacher and 6 years teaching preschool. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from DePaul University, and during my college years, I also taught Sunday school. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of creating a warm, nurturing environment and am very comfortable with household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and organizing. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and development, and I look forward to bringing my experience and care into your home!

Theo $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Theo and I'm an artist with extensive childcare experience. I began my childcare journey in 2020 as a private swim instructor for children with special needs, then moved into part time and full time nannying while working as a barista. I currently work as an Outdoor Lead Guide for a young toddler class at a Montessori preschool. As much as I love my students and the community of families I work with, I am attending a full time circus school program beginning in the fall and need to work later hours in the day to accommodate with my class schedule. My favorite thing about working with children is witnessing them experience the world for the first time. It's truly amazing how much you can learn about life by observing a kiddo's unfiltered perspective. Working with younger children has always brought a deep sense of fulfillment and joy to my life. I would love to meet you and your family to see if I'm the right fit for you and your needs!

Jennifer $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient childcare professional with 8 years of experience working with children. I have 6 years of experience caring for toddlers and 2 years of experience working with infants, which has helped me develop a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and development. Although I’m new to working as a private nanny, I’m excited to bring my childcare experience into a more personal setting where I can build a strong connection with the children and family I work with. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I’m dependable, organized, and willing to be flexible with a family’s routine. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with reasonable household tasks such as tidying up after the children, doing their laundry, preparing simple meals, and keeping their areas organized. I’m looking forward to finding a family where I can be a trustworthy and supportive part of their everyday lives.

"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)."
