Booked by 2 families in Arlington Heights, IL

Hello, my name is Jamie I am a 47 year old female, I am a very honest & outgoing person. I love being around kids. I take care of a little girl that is 9 years old a couple days a week. When my grandmother was alive I moved in with her. I helped her in a lot of different ways. After my grandmother passed away, I moved back in with my mom since she was alone. Unfortunately she got cancer and I helped her as much as I could. I took her to Doctor appointments picked up her medications and helped her with things around the house unfortunately my beautiful mother also passed away after a few years. I am not trying to bore you with my life story just trying to show you how caring and family oriented I am. I promise you I will put 100% in anything I do. Please consider me to help. Thank you for your time and hope to meet you soon. Thank You Jamie

I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families. I work especially well with children and dogs, and I always focus on creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment. I enjoy engaging kids in fun and meaningful activities, helping with routines, and being someone they feel comfortable with. I am also great with pets, especially dogs, and can help with walking, feeding, and playtime while making sure they are safe and happy. In addition, I am respectful and patient with seniors and happy to provide companionship and help with light daily tasks. Families can rely on me to be dependable, trustworthy, and attentive to everyone’s needs. I am currently studying Biochemical Engineering and am back in the U.S. for winter break, and I am committed to providing reliable, helpful, and caring support during this time.

Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I'm Becca. I've been a nanny for over 5 years, mostly caring for infants and toddlers. I love helping with feeding, naps, playtime, and hitting those early milestones - all while following the routines and preferences of each family. The family I'm with is ending care early due to a medical emergency, so I'm looking for something new. My schedule's super flexible right now, and I'd love to chat to see if we're a good fit!

Dan $19 per hour for 1 child

I’m a retired professional and Northwestern graduate with a caring, dependable nature and years of hands-on experience helping seniors and families. I cared for my father through his Alzheimer’s journey and now assist my 85-year-old mother-in-law and 86-year-old stepmom with daily needs — from shopping and meals to yardwork and companionship. I understand the challenges of caring for aging parents and know how to connect with those facing memory issues in a calm, positive way. I keep a clean, organized home, am an excellent cook, and a very efficient grocery shopper. I also bring over 40 years of experience in yard care and maintenance, ensuring that both homes and outdoor spaces are well cared for. In addition to senior care, I’m available for pet sitting, house sitting, and general household help. My goal is to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable — and to bring dependable support to families who could use an extra hand.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
