30 yr old female with two children of her own, born and raised in California recently moved to Chicago in 2025 to work as a EMT for a major private ambulance company in Illinois. Used to nanny in California from 2[removed] but changed careers. I love snuggling and taking care of babies and seeing them grow into their little personalities. CPR certification & Basic Life support Certification. Currently full time with a family now, but always looking for one time or part time to fill in between!
“Nikkiah was easy to communicate with, showed up on time, and did a great job taking care of our son and keeping us updated throughout the day.”
Hey! I'm Becca. I've been a nanny for over 5 years, mostly caring for infants and toddlers. I love helping with feeding, naps, playtime, and hitting those early milestones - all while following the routines and preferences of each family. The family I'm with is ending care early due to a medical emergency, so I'm looking for something new. My schedule's super flexible right now, and I'd love to chat to see if we're a good fit!
Been babysitting siblings since age 10 and professionally babysitting since age 16. Took care of cats and dogs professionally since age 16 as well. Math tutor for children ages 4-18 for since age 16. Love children and love being with them!
I am a full-time Teacher Assistant at a school, where I work closely with toddler age children to support their learning, routines, and emotional development. I also attend college, where I am continuing my education and building skills that strengthen my ability to work with families. Through my work experience as an assistant teacher and occasional babysitter for neighbors, I have gained hands-on experience providing care, structure, and patience while helping children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy building trusting relationships and being someone children and families can rely on. On a personal note, I am a very patient, responsible, and warm person who values kindness and consistency, and I take pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment wherever I work.
I’m a retired professional and Northwestern graduate with a caring, dependable nature and years of hands-on experience helping seniors and families. I cared for my father through his Alzheimer’s journey and now assist my 85-year-old mother-in-law and 86-year-old stepmom with daily needs — from shopping and meals to yardwork and companionship. I understand the challenges of caring for aging parents and know how to connect with those facing memory issues in a calm, positive way. I keep a clean, organized home, am an excellent cook, and a very efficient grocery shopper. I also bring over 40 years of experience in yard care and maintenance, ensuring that both homes and outdoor spaces are well cared for. In addition to senior care, I’m available for pet sitting, house sitting, and general household help. My goal is to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable — and to bring dependable support to families who could use an extra hand.

"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
