My whole life I’ve been in a household where my mom would babysit different ages. I was doing at home babysitting until I was of age to start working at a Daycare Center. I have nanny for multiple families sometimes full time sometimes occasionally events. I have worked with infants 3 months- 10 year olds. I am currently working with a family of 2 kiddos ages 3 and 5. They will be going to school full time so they are letting me go by the end of august. I also assisted medical classes and worked at a nursing home before. I love working with kids their joy and growth is such an amazing thing to me. I enjoying watching them grow and seeing milestones.

Valentina $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, patient, and dedicated caregiver with several years of experience working with children of different ages and needs. I have worked full-time in a daycare with newborns, toddlers, and Pre-K children, supporting their development through play, routines, and learning activities. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including epilepsy, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. In addition to my childcare experience, I worked as a full-time caregiver for seniors, where I learned the importance of empathy, responsibility, and creating a positive daily routine. These experiences have helped me develop strong organizational skills and the ability to handle different situations with care and patience. I am bilingual (Spanish and English), and I love sharing this skill with children by teaching them simple words, songs, and phrases in another language if parents are interested. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in a fun and safe environment. Families describe me as reliable, communicative, and creative—I enjoy planning activities such as outdoor play, arts and crafts, music, and educational games. My goal as a caregiver is to provide a safe, loving, and engaging space for children, while also supporting families by being flexible, trustworthy, and attentive to their needs.

Booked by 1 family in Bellwood, IL

Hi, my name is Tewa. I am going into my sophomore year of college I have worked in childcare for 4 years now. I work with children all ages, infants to teenagers. I can help kids with homework, drive them to activites, cook them meals and prepare them for bed if needed. I can also care for pets. I do not have any experience with caring for other dogs other than my own. However I do care for my dogs frequently. I am able to walk dogs, play with them and feed them. Whatever is needed.

“Tewa has been babysitting for our family since the fall of '22. She is a fantastic babysitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone. First, she is always punctual. My kids adore when she babysits to the point that when I say, Tewa is coming over they get excited instead of sad that I am leaving. This is exactly what you want from a babysitter! She plays with my children, ages 5 and 9. She plays full-hearted with them. She jumps on the trampoline. She chases them. They have this made-up mermaid game they play together. She is 100% involved and active with them. She takes them to the park. This is obviously my favorite thing about her bc it makes the time for my kiddos a fun experience. She keeps my house clean which is always so awesome. I do not have to worry about coming home and cleaning the dishes from dinner. She has my children clean up after themselves. She follows my instructions through all of it including bed time. My kids love her laid back attitude. She has fun w/them. I am also comfortable with her driving them to/from activities. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area! Of course, she asked me to write this review and I am so sad that she might not be available the next time I need her! LOL. She is fabulous! Take the chance- worth it!”

Hi! My name is Xochitl (so-chi) . I am currently a college student at Illinois State University, studying Bilingual Elementary Education! have experience working with kids in different roles. During my Golden Apple Scholar Internship, I worked with teachers to create fun lesson plans and activities. At After School Matters, I taught skills to other kids, which showed me how to connect with them. I also volunteer at Northwest Community Church when I am back home from school, where I work with children in the ministry. This experience helped me understand how to support and care for kids. I am adaptable and can adjust to different situations easily. I enjoy working with others! I communicate well, which helps me build good relationships with kids and their families. I also love being creative! I am also multilingual! I speak English and Spanish fluently. I have worked in busy environments, like retail and food service, which prepares me for the fast pace of caregiving. I have strong people skills, allowing me to create a friendly and safe space for kids.

I am a mother of four. They are all grown up now, but I’ve had a lifetime of caring for children and children have remained my passion. Outside of my own, I come from a large family, and I have cared for kids of friends’ as well. I’m looking to care for a couple of children from my home in Westchester. I’m understanding and knowledgeable of the growth and fundamental stages of children from infant through school age. I look forward to connecting with you and building a thriving relationship that focuses on the concern and wellbeing of your family.

"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."
