Booked by 4 families in Evanston, IL

Hello — My name is Blythche! I am a Special Education Teacher in one of the Chicago Public Schools. I am teaching primarily Math in High School (I can show you my CPS ID if needed). Before teaching high school, I was teaching Math for 3 years in Middle School. I also have an experience working with younger kids as I was a preschool teacher for 3 years. I used to take care of my grandma when I was in College until she passed away. I love working with seniors because I feel like they have the most genuine heart! I have a certification for Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED from American Red Cross. Growing up, we had a pit bull as another member of our family. After she died, we adopted another dog which was a Shitzu, she passed away last year. Now, I (with my husband) has a 2-year old Shitzu. I love cleaning and washing dishes and I’m also organized at home given my job as teacher! I can help out with cleaning, cooking (especially Asian food), do errands, do laundry and etc…. but I am not able to drive and don’t have a car either. I am currently on the process of completing my master’s degree so I step away from teaching and I am looking for a side job/full time job similar to my passion as a teacher. Furthermore, I am also a nanny to a family with a 2-year old child about 20 hours weekly.

“Che was very responsive, excellent communication and arrived early. My son enjoyed his time with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”

Booked by 7 families in Evanston, IL

Hi! I have been working with kids for 15 years. I love playing music and games with the children I work with. I also like to bake and cook teaching the kids valuable skills as well. In the past five years I have babysat children ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old. I nannied and did e-learning/school during the pandemic with a first grader and fifth grader with a range of responsibilities from preparing meals to helping complete classwork to planning activities for the day. I am currently going back to school to be a special education teacher.

“Aileen really helped us out; had a different sitter cancel an hour before and Aileen stepped in quick! Kids had a great time, Aileen was so helpful, and I would definitely have her sit again!!”

Ashton $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m Ashton, the oldest of seven, so caregiving has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the built-in “little parent,” and that early experience sparked my passion for working with children. I’m currently completing my undergraduate degree in Human Development and Learning and preparing to begin my path toward becoming an Occupational Therapist. I also work as a paraprofessional at Easterseals, where I support children with ASD, IDD, and a wide range of developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique communication and learning style. Outside of school and work, I’ve spent years providing babysitting and dog-sitting for families, neighbors, and of course my own siblings. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in sensory-friendly play, or simply creating a safe and fun environment, I truly enjoy being part of a child’s day. I love games, dance parties, karaoke, arts & crafts, and tackling big puzzles, anything that helps kids explore, grow, and have fun. Parents tell me I bring calm energy, responsibility, and genuine connection to the kids I care for. I’d love to support your family in whatever way you need; whether it’s childcare, homework help, structured play, or a reliable extra set of hands. Looking forward to meeting you!

"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."
