I’ve had the opportunity to nanny for 20+ families, whether it be ocasional sitting or reoccurring, I am equipped for the job. I have also worked for the Chicago Park District for three summers. Over that time I’ve cared for hundreds of children. I’ve learned how to best plan and execute daily activities. I am attentive and open to learning how to care for each and every person.

Hello everyone, my name is Shemiah! I have over 7+ years of experience working with children, ages ranging from new born through 10 years old. I am also, First aid and CPR certified. I’m a person that loves spending time with children, and watching them grow. Helping children have fun while assisting and taking care of the families needs, is my objective. The early years of child development are the most important, they can really shape us into who we are as we get older. I would like to be apart of those early years, helping create memorable happy moments that can last well into adulthood. With me, your children will always be in safe and well cared for hands. *I am happy to work with families that have pets in the home

"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)."
