Sooniti $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sooniti, I am a 28 year old single mom of 1. I am offering childcare, senior care and house keeping services. I have a 12 year old who is going on 30 lol. I have personal experience working with children. Children love being around me vice versa because I'm fun and they feel safe. I use to be a caregiver for a Company called Comfort Keepers. I use to care for older adults that have Dementia/Alzheimer's. I currently work for doctor's office Oak Street Health to assist older adults with getting healthcare services. I babysit my nieces, nephew, cousins etc. I make sure I do what is ask from parents to for their children. I am patient, creative/playful and responsible. I use to work at my daughter's daycare during the summer of 2016. I also worked for Uber for 2 years. I assist over 3,000 people. I drove people to their destinations safely and delivered their food/ groceries to them.

Yareli $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Yareli, and I am 21 years old, currently attending Morton College. I’ve been working as an assistant at a Montessori school for about 3 years, primarily with children aged 3-6, though I also have knowledge and some experience with younger children. My background in Montessori education has helped me develop a deep understanding of child development and how to engage with children in a peaceful and nurturing way. In addition to my work at the school, I have experience babysitting and enjoy creating fun, educational activities that keep children engaged. I love to read, paint, and write, and I bring a calm, peaceful, yet engaging energy that helps children feel comfortable and inspired. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones!

Tatum $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tatum and I graduated from Loyola University Chicago in May of 2024. I just finished an internship here in Chicago and plan on moving out of Chicago at the end of May so have a couple of months left to explore and try new things! I spent two summers (2020 and 2021) between college working as a full-time nanny for two kids back home (ages 5 to 6 and 8 to 9), helping them make lunch, taking them to activities/sports, and playing games with them. I also would help them with their summer workbooks including reading comprehension, writing, and math (even when it was the last thing they wanted to do). I am someone who enjoys being active, on their feet, and finding creative ways to spend my time, whether that be arts and crafts, reading, trying a new recipe, or just calling someone to chat when I get bored!

Claire $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is Claire, I’m 24 years old, and I’ve spent the past 10 years working with children of various ages. I worked as an overnight camp counselor for 9 & 10 year olds for two years, and then as a day camp counselor for Kindergartners for four years. Before starting to work in non-profit, I spent a year working as a full-time nanny for a family of two boys aged 4 and 6. For the last three years, I have been working in the Non-Profit sector with kids of various ages. I spent a year with the AmeriCorp organizing an enrichment program for homeless youth, and my specific site cared for about 10 kids aged K-6. Since then, I have been working at another organization as a Lead Youth Mentor to plan and lead an after school program for underprivileged school-aged kids. This job has also allowed me to spend time in Early Childhood Education, where I have received my ECE, first aid, and Mandated Reporter certificates. I have a year of experience working with toddlers, a year of experience working with Pre-K, and some experience with infant care. I have a valid US diver’s license and car, and have years of experience in teaching English/Reading comprehension for both pre-school and school-aged children, STEM curriculum/activity planning, tutoring (up to high school age primarily), arts organizing, and emotion coaching. Additionally, I adore animals (excluding maybe spiders), and would love to care for family pets as well! I have truly enjoyed working with children of all ages in such different settings over the past decade and would love to meet some new families! Please don’t hesitate to reach out and share what goals and expectations you have for the position—working with kids has definitely taught me to be patient and flexible.

"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."
