Hi! I'm Fariani—but most parents end up calling me Mary Poppins. 😊 Caring for children is more than a job to me—it's my passion. I'm a warm, reliable, and patient nanny with experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including 4 years working with a child with special needs with feeding tube. I also speak several languages French is my native language. I love creating fun, engaging, and educational days through reading, arts & crafts, parks, museums, board games, homework help, and teaching French. My priority is to provide a safe, loving environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I'm also happy to prepare healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, and maintain open, honest communication with parents. I'm looking for a family that values kindness, trust, and teamwork.

Hello! (Fully vaccinated for COVID-19 as of 2/2/21) I love working with kids, and have professionally worked with children from toddler age to teens for over 8 years now! I have 5 years experience at a summer day camp back in my home town of Minneapolis, teaching classes from art to gymnastics for children ages 3-11. In addition, I worked with a program called JumpStart at DePaul University, where me and 4 other college students were placed in a preschool classroom on the west side of Chicago to provide teaching assistant support. During JumpStart I learned a lot of early childhood education skills and techniques, and could assist with homework or literacy skills for your children when I care for them. I enjoy reading, painting, staying active, dance, and exploring Chicago. I also have nannied for a family from this site from June 2017 until June 2019. I have babysat since I was 11 years old watching the neighborhood kids, and would love to help out by being a babysitter for you. :)

Drew came on time and very approachable and fun. Quickly got along with my child. Hopefully will see her soon.

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 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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
