Hi! My name is Emily, and I am currently a senior in high school, play volleyball. I have been caring for children since I was 15 years old and truly enjoy working with kids. I am responsible, patient, caring, and dependable. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, play games, do arts and crafts, and keep children safe and entertained. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and would be happy to help children practice Spanish as well. I currently work in housekeeping, so I also have experience with cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a tidy home. I have my own vehicle and can provide transportation for children or adults to appointments, school, activities, or other places when needed. I am comfortable helping families with different needs and always respect their routines and household rules. I look forward to finding a family I can build a trusting and positive relationship with!

“Emily has worked for me in the past and she is very responsible, caring, and reliable. She is great with children, very patient, and always makes sure they are safe and comfortable. She is trustworthy, respectful, and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a dependable babysitter.”

Hi! I'm an experienced caregiver and a mom of three young children. My youngest just started full-day pre-k, so I am looking to add care giving hours. I enjoy playing and laughing with elementary-age kids. I have experience with newborns and infants, and currently care for a 4 month-old part-time. I enjoy creating playful, nurturing environments where kids can grow and express themselves. I'm reliable, compassionate, and available for daytime, evening, and overnight care to help your family feel supported.

“Patricia has been amazing to our little girl. She is on time, responds fast, asks plenty of questions to make sure she is following your routines. Plays and reads to our baby. She is a great caregiver. ❤️”

Hello, my name is Angelica. I was born and raised in Chicago. I am mother of 2 myself and love my daughters with all my being. I consider myself to be a very patient person. I think that’s something that’s important when it comes to being a caregiver and not only that, I enjoy being able to connect with kids and help them grow and succeed as they get older. I have a lot of experience when it comes to kids, it is something that I enjoy doing and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

"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."
