Booked by 3 families in Evanston, IL

Hello, my name is Katie, pronouns she/they. My career has mainly focused on positive youth development and specialized care for youth. My nannying experience mostly involves caring for babies, infants, and children under 14. My degree in Sociology of Culture with my double minor in Music Studies and American Sign Language focuses on caring and supporting infants/children/youth with a strength based, trauma informed care approach. My child care experience ranges from being a full time nanny for 3 years, babysitting for 10+ years, caring for children, including gender expansive, and trans youth, ages 1-22yrs in youth program settings as an educator, instructor, program developer and case manager. I also care for youth in community by leading workshops and creating programs for youth focused on creating spaces for them to explore their passions, express themselves and find resources to survive and flourish. My care taking style is collaborative, fun, loving, informed and focuses on creating care plans to support your child’s specific needs and goals. I am also a musician and love to do music-based activities with children of all ages! Let me know if you have any questions. Katie

Hi! Nice to meet you, my name is Giuli, I am a dedicated, patient, non-smoker, and CPR/First Aid-certified childcare provider with extensive experience working with children of all ages-from young infants starting at 3 months old to toddlers and teenagers. I hold a background in hospitality management, which has helped me hone key skills like organization, clear communication, and creating a safe, welcoming environment for families. Whether engaging in fun, age-appropriate activities, assisting with routines and school-age needs, or going on peaceful outdoor walks, my goal is always to provide high-quality, trustworthy care tailored to your family’s needs. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your family! I also love animals. Dogs are my favorite. I have three at home: a German Shepherd, two poodles, and three cats

“Giuliana was so great with our kids! They loved her and felt comfortable immediately. We would love to have her back anytime!”

Hello! My name is Natalia, and working with children has always been my true passion. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and have over 17 years of experience helping children learn and grow. For the past four years, I’ve been a Preschool Teacher at a private school in Chicago, where I work with young learners ages 2–4. I’m 43 years old and a proud mom of three (ages 22, 20, and 9). My colleagues and families describe me as warm, dedicated, and reliable. In my free time, I also work as a babysitter, which I truly enjoy — spending time with little ones always brings me joy and positive energy. 💛

“Natalia was punctual and extremely patient with our son. She asked a lot of questions and followed our instructions. Would hire again!”

Hi, my name is Suzanne! I’m energetic, creative, and patient, with a big heart for kids and the joy they bring. I love making children feel safe, included, and excited to learn and play. For the past three summers I’ve worked as a counselor at a stay-away summer camp where I lived with and cared for kids ages 8–15 for six weeks at a time. Beyond camp and taking care of older kids, I have a lot of experience caring for and babysitting toddlers 13 months and up and love how curious and playful that age is. I bring both structure and fun to every setting whether that means planning crafts, organizing games, or helping with homework. If your kids love video games I can hop into Roblox or Minecraft with them 😆 but I also enjoy screen-free activities like board games, card games, and creative projects. Along with child care I’m terrific at keeping a clean organized home, and I love pets just as much as kids. Growing up with ADHD shaped how I connect with children. I know how important it is to feel accepted and understood, and I make it my mission to ensure every child feels confident and happy being themselves. I also attended a boarding high school for art and creative writing, where I lived year-round. Since I was away from home and living in a dorm, I never needed a license, and now that I live in Chicago I rely on public transportation instead of driving. Sadly I won’t be able to provide transportation for your children.

“The kids had a great time with Suzanne! She was great at playing with the 1yo, 5yo, and 7yo.”

I'm here to support your family with kindness, trust, and a big heart.

"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."
