Rosanne $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly experienced, well/educated (Masters degree), kind, patient, warm, and fun caregiver. I have worked with families with children ranging in age from 2 months to middle school age. I have completed pediatric first aid and CPR training. The parents for whom I have recently worked include a clinical psychologist/professor at Northwestern, a nursing instructor at Loyola, and a neonatologist in residency at Northwestern. I’m happy to provide references. I genuinely love spending my time with children of all ages. Whenever the weather allows, I take kids out for long nature walks. I also enjoy encouraging kids to express themselves artistically. I love baking with kids. My absolute favorite caregiving activity is reading bedtime stories and singing I’m happy to provide a resume and references upon request. I live in Skokie and we have a three year old rescue lab/hound mix named Korra. I love dogs and I am comfortable with all kinds of pets. I’m very happy to help out with laundry, dishes, and picking up around the house whenever the kids are napping. While the kids are awake, I keep my focus on ensuring that they are safe, fed, and having fun. I do not spend time on my phone while caregiving, other than to check in with parents or provide updates. Thanks for your consideration. Rosanne

Booked by 40 families in Winnetka, IL

Hi, I’m Donna! I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years, and I’ve always loved being part of a child’s growth and development. I have a lot of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, including caring for children from newborn through age 5. I spent three years working in a daycare infant room and two years in the toddler room, so I’m very comfortable with everything from newborn routines and bottle feeding to naps, playtime, early learning, and keeping busy little ones engaged. I’m CPR certified and certified in Early Childhood Development, and I’m someone who is patient, nurturing, dependable, and genuinely enjoys getting to know each child’s personality. I love creating a safe and comfortable environment where children can learn, play, and simply be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family, learn about your childcare needs, and hopefully become someone you and your little ones can feel comfortable with and trust. 

“Donna was great with both of my boys. When she first messaged me about the job she wrote personal statements about also loving to play with cars or certain toys with my son. She was at the house on time, she sent plenty of pictures which we love, and made sure to ask questions if I wasn’t very clear. She was super easy to talk to and I felt very at east leaving my 8 month old and 3.5 year old with her for a dinner and drinks with friends. Will definitely reach out to her again when we need someone!”

Hi! I’m a DePaul University graduate with 15+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through their teen years as a nanny, babysitter, tutor, and violin teacher. I speak English, Spanish, Farsi, and Arabic, and have played violin for over 20 years. I’m experienced with infants, toddlers, and older children, including feeding, naps, developmental play, creative activities, homework, transportation, and bedtime routines. I enjoy getting to know each child's personality and creating a fun, nurturing environment where they feel happy, safe, and cared for. Families describe me as warm, reliable, organized, and proactive. I know how important peace of mind is for parents, and I bring patience, kindness, and attentive care to every booking. I have a reliable car, a clean driving record, am a non-smoker, and am fully vaccinated, including COVID-19. I receive my annual flu shot and stay current on recommended adult immunizations. I’m available for occasional, short-term, overnight, and last-minute bookings. I’d love to get to know your family! **Booking Policies** [Payment and Booking Hours] Since I set aside this time for your family, I kindly ask that payment cover all booked hours, even if you return home early. I’m happy to accommodate extensions when possible and appreciate advance notice. Zelle or cash are my preferred payment methods. [Care for Sick Children] I understand that little ones get sick and finding childcare can be challenging. I’m happy to provide sick care when appropriate: - One sick child: $40/hour - Two sick children: $50/hour Sick care includes children with symptoms or those kept home from school or daycare due to illness, even with mild symptoms or while resting. This includes COVID-19, flu, colds, RSV, fevers, coughs, congestion, stomach bugs, lice, and other contagious illnesses or infections. Please share any illness, symptoms, or known exposure before booking so we can discuss your child’s needs. Certain highly contagious conditions or serious symptoms may be outside the care I can provide. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe! [Driving and Mileage] If I drive children in my personal vehicle, mileage is $0.76/mile for the full round trip, including my return journey. For your little ones’ safety and comfort, I kindly ask that you provide any necessary car seats or booster seats. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones!

"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)."
