Gabriela $20 per hour for 1 child

As a dedicated and loving single mother of a 12-year-old boy, I have a deep understanding of children's needs and the importance of a nurturing environment. With over several years of experience caring for children, I have successfully managed the care of up to six kids simultaneously, ensuring their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. My day typically begins at 8AM, where I take pride in providing a structured routine, including drop-offs at daycare and school. I am passionate about creating a positive and engaging atmosphere for children, and my neighbors often sought my help for special occasions, highlighting my reliability and commitment. I enjoy cleaning and organizing, which not only keeps my space tidy but also helps me manage my time effectively. I am available for a background check and look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the happiness and development of your children. I am a caring nanny with experience in childcare and household management. I provide attentive care for children, maintain a clean home, and cook a variety of meals, specializing in American and Mexican cuisine. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive.

Abigail $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have a genuine love for kids and enjoy spending time with them, whether it's playing games, helping with homework, and more. For a family, I provided care for their three-month-old, two-year-old, and their four-year-old. This involved managing diverse needs and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for each child. Caring for others is second nature to me (oldest sister of 5), I have always strived to create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere for everyone around me (including fur babies as well). I am guided by my morals as I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I mention this as I don't celebrate any holidays however, I'm pretty creative with coming up with fun seasonal activities ;D

Hello! I'm Gina and I recently moved to Chicago from Boston to be with my partner. I'm enjoying learning my way around this beautiful city, and love working with kids of all ages as well as pets. I have nieces and nephews ranging from 2 to 18 and have always been very close with them. I also have experience nannying in Boston while I was in college. I'm extremely responsible and reliable, have a car, have flexible hours, and kids seem to love me :) I love pets as well and would be more than happy to take care of yours.

Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced and reliable caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and household support. I’ve spent years caring for children of all ages. Growing up my sister was 10 years younger than me, so I had many years babysitting/caring for her and her neighborhood friends. I also worked at a daycare program for 2 years. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment, whether that’s helping with homework, planning activities, or keeping daily routines on track. I’m comfortable with pets as well (I have a husky of my own). Also, happy to help with light housework or whatever your family needs to feel supported!

"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."
