Hey! I’m Nikki the Nanny! I’m funny, easygoing, bright, communicative, energetic, adaptable, compassionate and simply adore children and all animals. I’m a career nanny and mother with over sixteen years of experience with children from 0-12. I’ve cared for up to three children at once and have had multiple successful nanny shares. As a nanny I can organize themed weeks highlighting one particular animal, sound, culture, idea, with trips, art, or music associated with that theme. Book making, science projects, sewing, directing little films, art, dance, robot building and more are all fun activities I’ve done with my nanny kids. I drive, swim, don’t smoke and I’m current in all immunizations. I can lift over 100lbs, walk long distances, paint, play sports, cook, assemble furniture, food prep and have early speech therapy training and teach baby sign language as well. I live on the north side of Chicago. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I have impeccable professional references however my toddler and my teenager are my greatest references. My teenager is bright, happy, confident, hilarious and attends the Lane Tech High School AP Omega program earning college credits as a senior. My toddler has over 200 words and understands some Spanish. I raise them with love, patience, discipline and respect with a focus on education, the same things I implement into my “nannying”. Thank you for stopping by!

Hello Families, My name is Myriam! It’s a pleasure to connect with you! A little background on my experience is I’ve been a nanny for the past 15 + years. I have experience in medication management, physical therapy, holistic health, and i am also CPR and First Aid certified. As a nanny, i am attentive and proactive to the needs of my kiddos and always make sure their needs are being attended to. I enjoy bringing a calm atmosphere by supporting my families through daily photo updates, meal prepping, and light housework. As a nanny, i love coming up with fun activities, exploring new parks and games with my kiddos. I also speak English, French, and Haitian Creole, and love engaging with the little ones through music, stories, and playful learning while introducing them to new languages and cultures. I am here to bring ease to your family in anyway I can, please let me know if you have any questions, I look forward to connecting with you!

I can't say enough good things about Myriam Chery, who took care of my baby from one month to 15 months. She arrived every weekday at 9 AM and was dedicated to creating a loving and safe environment. Myriam not only engaged my child with fun activities but also kept a daily journal updating me on milestones and daily routines. She also responsibly administered medication when needed, which made me feel incredibly reassured. Her warmth made a noticeable difference in my baby's early development, and she communicated openly about everything. I highly recommend Myriam to any family looking for a caring and reliable nanny! We're so grateful for her support during such crucial.

I consider myself to be very responsible, polite, hard worker, and informed because I think these are important traits that might help kids develop good habits.

"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)."
