I am a very experienced when it comes to all ages of childcare. I’ve spent more than 10+ years working with children all the way up to 13 years of age. With infants, I’m very vigilant and interactive, I keep them entertained and always smiling and I make sure that the schedule a parent has in place is always followed. I’m very patient with kids and will always make sure they are taken care of to the best of ability. With older children, I take care of them with their afterschool activities and if a parent wish to do other outings I am always available to spend a fun afternoon out.

I recently moved to Chicago upon completion of my degree in dance through the Alonzo King Lines Ballet. Throughout the last 7 years, I have built up a plethora of experience nannying families of all types in an effort to support my professional dance journey. I've worked with families with up to four children, as well cared for families with kids as young as newborns and as old as teenagers (both in part-time and full-time capacities). Additionally, I have extensive experience with kids with disabilities. In all these roles, I have been known for building genuine connections, maintaining organization, and stepping in wherever needed! Whether it be niche tasks you ask to be fulfilled or little things you didn't even know you needed taking care of, I bring a thoughtful, caring, and hands-on approach to care. I am looking forward to helping families in the area and growing my range of community here in a new city. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I am happy to provide more information about myself as well as a number of references and a full caretaking resume at your request.

Hi, I am 3rd year medical student and I know how hard it can be sometimes to understand concepts of math science and even spelling and writing for a 1st grader. I love teaching. I would be happy to help them understand and ease their difficulties with all the joy and love I have for teaching!

“Jale was wonderful and our son Miles really enjoyed spending the time with her. She jumped right into playing with Miles w/out missing a beat and stayed positive, friendly and flexible throughout her visit and while watching our son. Highly recommended, Jale is fantastic!”

Hi, My name is Pam and I currently attend Oakton community college in hopes of going to medical school in the future. I’m offering child care, senior care, as well as household services as my schedule is pretty flexible. I have been babysitting for over 7 years now and I’ve watched kids of all ages, as well as multiple kids at once. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school activities, tutoring, and keeping kids occupied with fun activities and crafts. I have experience in household services such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I am comfortable working with senior care as I have been a part-time caretaker for my grandmother in the past. I can assist with daily tasks, take to appointments, as well as cook.

“Pamela was AMAZING! Will definitely book her again to babysit for us. She was on time, was able to jump into our crazy schedule with little oversight, so proactive (made our sons lunch for the next day), and stayed late at the last minute. She was gentle and kind and patient with our son, taking him to the park, coloring with them, helping with the scooters. She put everything away and was just very nice! ”

"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."
