Hello parents! 😊 Hi! My name is Diana, I’m 26 years old and I live in the Edgewater area of Chicago.

Erin $20 per hour for 1 child

I've been in radio broadcasting since I was 20 years old. Currently I'm the midday host at 94.7FM (10-3pm) and mother of an amazing 12-year-old son. My passion is to find the commonality in all humans. To add some levity and humor to all of the things we deal with in life. My childcare experience started very early in life. I was babysitting my older sisters 4 kids since I was 15 years old. I've been a room parent in my son's classroom from K-6th grade. I've been heavily involved in my son's travel baseball team for the last 5 years. Caring for other kids on the team. Giving them rides to and from events. Having sleep overs. Always the chaperone for the team to water parks, dinners, games and more. I've also been a dog walker. Owned my own service for a few years. I'm comfortable around any animal and enjoy them as much as I do children. I grew up with a friend whose father was a quadriplegic and helped with his care. I was very close to my grandmother and wanted to make her comfortable in her senior years. Washing her hair, helping her get up the stairs and cooking for her. Now that my son is getting older, and my schedule is flexible, I want to help other families. Not having family or resources in Chicago to help raise my son, I know how extremely valuable it would have been to have had help from a sitter that I could trust. I want to be that comfort for others.

Hi! My name is Kamya’h, and I truly love being a sitter because caring for children comes naturally to me. I have about 5–6 years of experience babysitting children of different ages, and I’m very patient, calm, and understanding. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I can help with meals, light cleaning, homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, and I always treat every child as if they 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."
