I am the oldest of 4 siblings , my youngest brother has Down syndrome and I was his primary care taker for many years so I have experience with children who need a little more patience than your normal kid. I also have 4 kids of my own ages 3-12 so I’m used to controlled chaos on the regular.

Malgorzata $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been working with seniors for 17 years. I am a loyal and caring person who takes great pride in my job. Over the years, I have worked with many different people who required personalized care such as mental disabilities like Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, depression and anxiety. Many of my past clients had serious health concerns such as physical disabilities that required the use of a wheelchair or walker. Previously, I have worked with people with diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, and more. I am experienced in administrating medications, wound care and toileting. I am a very punctual person and I do not have many distractions in my personal life.

Rhayna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rhayna, and I am a recent Howard graduate from the Chicagoland area. I am offering childcare and some household services. I absolutely fell in love assisting and caring for children after volunteering with preschools in high school, watching family members, and promptly working at an early learning program facility during undergrad. At the early learning program, I would prepare lunch/snacks while keeping the children entertained, assisted in water play, outdoor games, and crafts, and most importantly, I encouraged children to build their self esteem and sense of confidence while engaging in different social and academic environments. Additionally, I assisted some teachers by reviewing assignments for young students, aged 2 to 5 year olds. During the years, I have gained experience in Spanish tutoring, homework help, sport practice, and even meal preparation as I enjoy cooking. I am sure I could be an asset to your family. I am allergic to cats and dogs, but I am okay to be around most small hypoallergenic pets. Lastly, it is important to me that I and the families I work with are in alignment, therefore I am always responsive and willing to reach your specific goals and make sure desires are met for your child(ren). Thank You Rhayna Berryhill

"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)."
