Lorenna $18 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student at UIC right now for music education. I moved to Chicago three years ago for school. I used to babysit a lot back in Wisconsin but haven’t had the connections here yet. I really miss it. I have two younger siblings who I have been watching since I was as old as ten but I started babysitting for others at age 12. It was from ages 3 to 16. I also had a family who I took care of their three kids for two weeks when they went on vacation. I can cook, I like to play/create games, color, read, play sports etc

Khwezi $15 per hour for 1 child

I have over two years of childcare experience as an au pair, as well as an additional six months of experience as a nanny. I genuinely love working with children and enjoy creating a safe, caring, positive, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. My childcare duties have included preparing meals and snacks, helping children get ready for the day, keeping their rooms and play areas organized, doing children’s laundry, planning fun and educational activities, reading with them, helping with homework, supervising playtime, and following their daily routines. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and always make sure the children’s safety and well-being come first. Outside of childcare, I enjoy reading and have a strong interest in makeup and beauty. I’m creative and enjoy expressing myself through makeup. Recently, I have also started enjoying working out and staying active, which has become a new hobby of mine.

Janean $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with experience working with children, seniors, and pets. I previously worked at Kumon, where I supported students with their learning and helped them build confidence and discipline in their studies. That experience strengthened my patience, organization, and communication skills. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, assisting seniors with daily tasks and companionship, and providing attentive pet care (feeding, walking, playtime, medication reminders if needed). I have reliable transportation, so I’m punctual and flexible with scheduling. I can also cook simple, healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, organize spaces, and keep homes running smoothly. My goal is always to create a safe, clean, and positive environment where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m trustworthy, detail-oriented, and treat every home with respect as if it were my own.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
