Medb $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Medb and I use they/them pronouns. I'm 22 years old and am a psychology and statistics student at Cal Poly Humboldt, though am currently home in Lincoln Park for the summer. Since I was 12, I've worked for an organization called CircEsteem, a youth circus located in Uptown. There, I was a counselor, coach, and mentor for kids ages 2-17. I was immersed in a very diverse environment, and gained experience caring for children with different support needs. I also have taken care of infants as young as 3 months. As a sitter, and more broadly as an individual, I ground myself in the values of empathy, creativity, community, and self-esteem. Through play and art, I hope to aid in teaching kids the importance of loving ourselves and others. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor for both grade school and high school students and am always happy to help with homework. I am currently task training my own service dog, and am very pet friendly :) And as a fun little bonus, I love teaching kids basic circus skills like juggling, and am into all kinds of art work and creative projects! I look forward to hearing from you:) *CPR and First Aid Certified* *Vaccinated and boosted*

Mar $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Mar, I am a Chicago native, and after living in NYC the past eight years, I recently relocated back to Chicago! I received my BA in Screen Studies with minors in Screenwriting and Theater from Eugene Lang College at The New School in New York. I am currently working towards my Teaching Certificate with the goal of working with elementary-level children as an Arts Teacher. I hold extensive experience working with children of all ages, and take such joy in doing so. Aside from my daytime/evening nanny care in New York, I have spent time in the Western suburbs of Paris as a live-in au pair for 3 children (ages 7-11), a children's theater assistant director in Chicago suburbs, kindergarten TA, working as an art teacher in the Bronx (grades K-4), and most recently, as a substitute teacher in Queens. I spend a majority of my time practicing and teaching art, with paper making, bookbinding and creative writing at the forefront -- I try and bring these mediums into play with children, as I've found kinesthetic learning and creation is the best way to get in touch with oneself and one's emotional vocabulary at a young age. Additionally, I am an avid pet lover (from big, slobbery dogs to tiny turtles and guinea pigs), and licensed driver. Looking forward to answering any further questions + connecting in the future!

"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."
