Booked by 2 families in Forest Park, IL

I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing, and I bring not only responsibility and dedication but also a lot of creativity , a quality I apply in both childcare and daily tasks. I have experience with babies as young as 4 months old, as well as with children over 5 years old, always ensuring a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I enjoy creating playful and educational activities tailored to each child’s age. I'm an animal lover and happy to help care for pets with love, and I’m also willing to assist with household organization when needed. I'm communicative, proactive, and truly enjoy contributing to a family's well-being.

Yessenia $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have only recently joined this app so I do not have any reviews but I am able to provide references if needed. I'm currently looking for a part-time or full-time nanny position within the city. I have over 11 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including daycare centers, private nanny positions, and as a substitute teacher assistant with Chicago Public Schools. I'm hoping to find my next long-term family—one I can build a strong relationship with while providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your child(ren) can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm CPR certified, trained in SBS and SIDS prevention, up to date on my Tdap vaccine, and fluent in both English and Spanish. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, I'd love to connect and chat more. Thank you!

Lucila $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Lucila but you can also call me Mari. I am currently a senior at DeVry University and I have about 4-5 years of consecutive experience providing childcare for children mostly 5 and up. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for kids. I love doing crafts, board games and puzzles but I can also help with homework, light cleaning and organizing especially after activities I have done a lot of school pickups(mostly walking to and from school). I love pets, mostly dogs. I might just take some time warming up to cats but don’t mind them at all.

Mimi $18 per hour for 1 child

I have worked as a High School teacher for two years, with experience working with pre-K to elementary-aged children. From teaching child-aged cooking classes to babysitting, I have focused my work around education and kindness. Whether in a home or school setting, I believe in maintaining a positive, patient attitude.

Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am currently a sophomore at Miami University double majoring in psychology and piano performance. Not only do I have experience being a full-time nanny over the summer to two wonderful girls, I also have significant experience with babysitting children ages 0-16. These experiences have truly fostered my love for children and I am extremely passionate about creating a safe, stimulating, and of course fun environment for kids of all age ranges, genders, backgrounds, etc. I have a very lively, bubbly personality which allows me to connect with kids and keep up with them when it comes down to play time. I also pride myself in my patience and my ability to remain calm in stressful situations, especially when resolving conflict. I am CPR certified and first-aid trained which is a skill I have sharpened through my years of work as a lifeguard. Overall, I really love to be a safe space for kids to be their authentic self and aim to create a supportive and fun environment both for the kids and for the parents as well.

"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."
