Miya $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Miya and I am going into my second year at the University of Chicago! I am from Washington, DC and am living in Chicago over the summer. I love theater, reading, hiking, and fun arts and crafts. I am offering child, senior, and pet care. I have been babysitting and petsitting since I was 14 years old. While babysitting, my responsibilities have included cooking, cleaning, and tutoring, as well as leading activities for kids like crafting and dance/music lessons. My favorite experience has been teaching one of my kids ballet! I am also happy to walk and feed pets; I have 2 dogs and 3 turtles of my own so I am very comfortable with animals. I also have experience with senior care. I have grown up with my grandparents in the house and have spent a lot of time looking after them. Additionally, I worked at Grand Oaks Assisted Living Facility for 2 years. At Grand Oaks, I spent a lot of time taking care of residents as well as playing the piano for and forming genuine connections with the residents. I am very flexible this summer and am willing to dedicate many hours to working. I also would love to continue working throughout the school year this year, although my hours would slightly change then.

Juliet $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have 8 years of mixed experience with children 6 weeks to 10 years old with a specific focus on language, emotional, and cognitive development 6 months - 6 years. I am well-versed in conflict resolution, potty training, Montessori methods, and growth of fine and gross motor skills. I laugh loudly at the park and speak softly at the library. I make up songs with children that include their names and interests and teach children to cook. I drive families to airports, grocery shop, meal prep, handle repairs, organize and schedule appointments, and coordinate other household staff. I am adept in tutoring up through high school curriculum. I am able to set and keep pace with fast and slow track learning. I have experience with asthma, hearing aids, G-tubes, juvenile diabetes, autism, and many other special care needs. I got into the care business as a profession after helping my grandmother through her twilight years with dementia. My main goal in life is to be helpful. I have plenty of references who would love to hear from you and I look forward to hearing about your nanny/house manager needs!

"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."
