Nikki $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Nikki, and I’m a part-time nursing student who currently works part-time as a CNA. I’ve also been nannying for several years and have experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I would describe myself as caring, patient, attentive, dependable, and naturally nurturing. Caring for others has always been meaningful to me, which is a big part of what led me toward both healthcare and childcare. I believe children deserve to feel safe, heard, respected, and comfortable with the person caring for them. I enjoy being actively involved with the children I care for rather than simply supervising. Depending on their age and interests, I love playtime, reading, arts and crafts, spending time outside, helping with homework, preparing meals or snacks together, or simply being someone they can talk to and feel comfortable around. I’m experienced with meal preparation, tidying, dishes, laundry, bath time, diaper changes, feeding, personal care, and other child-related household responsibilities. My CNA experience has also strengthened my patience, attention to detail, communication skills, and awareness of safety and individual care needs. Outside of work and school, I enjoy working out, yoga, spending time with my cats and dog, being with family, trying new foods, and experiencing new things. I value living life fully while also nurturing the people, animals, and relationships that are part of it. My childcare philosophy is that every child is their own person. I enjoy learning their individual personality, interests, and ways of communicating while providing the consistency, encouragement, and appropriate boundaries they need. As I continue my nursing education, I’m still discovering where I would eventually like to specialize, but I know that caring for others will remain an important part of my life. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m always happy to learn your family’s routines, preferences, parenting approach, and specific needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I’d also be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to see if I would be a good fit for your family. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me!

Shelly $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello Dear Parents. I am a mature single female with 2 adult children of my own. I am also "mom" to 4 fur babies (2 dogs & 2 cats) I am an English mother tongue speaker and fluent French speaker. I currently live in Bartlett IL & am ready and available to provide excellent weekend day and evening care for your children Sat's & Sun's. I can help with your pets as well if needed. I am currently a full time nanny for 2 families weekdays M-F. I am interested and available to care for your kiddos if you need an extra hand juggling the demands of parenting from 7pm onward on weekdays, drop offs and pick ups from extra curricular activities any day and time weekend days and also home care during night time hours on weekends so mom and dad can stay connected and share adult time alone. Once you and I have established a mutually trusting and comfortable relationship, I am open to overnight care options if you would like to have a getaway weekend as long as the timing of such would not conflict with with my commitments to my weekday families. I am an obsessional tidier so always picking up and putting away things. If needed, I can prepare age appropriate light meals with the ingredients you provide. I am not a cleaning lady although I am a clean lady. If mutually agreed upon in advance I may be able to assist with light housework and light laundry while babysitting, although child care would be my principal focus. My hourly base rate is $22 to 30 hour depending on how many children require care and the distance from my home. Extra duties will be an additional pre-agreed charge based on requirements. I am a non smoker, first aid and CPR certified. I own a recent, reliable vehicle. I welcome caring for children from diverse nationalities, faiths, and relationships. I am an active person that loves the outdoors and will take your children outdoors weather permitting. I believe in activities that foster creative minds and curiosity as apposed to screen time or electronic devices. I myself love reading and would love to read to your children from their favorite books and their play board games with them. I will be on the floor playing with and caring for your children, not sitting on your couch surfing the net or texting on my cell phone. I am firm but fun I cant wait to hear from you and meet your little ones or bigger ones. Lets talk soon and get to know each other. I have references to provide to directly verify Thank you and kind regards. Shelly

"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."
