Kintayja $30 per hour for 1 child

I have over 10 years of experience working in childcare as both a babysitter and nanny. Throughout my career, I expanded my experience by becoming a full spectrum doula. I've had the opportunity to support more than 100 families, with experience caring for newborns, multiples, assisting with sleep training, establishing routines, and providing overall family support. I'm a fun, loving, dependable, and outgoing caregiver who genuinely cares about each child's well-being. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment where children can feel secure, supported, and cared for. I'm currently continuing my education within the healthcare which allows me to bring an even deeper understanding of pregnancy, newborn care, and family support into my work. At this time, I'm primarily interested in one-time, occasional, and temporary childcare positions which includes overnight. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I have a background in luxury retail, customer service, and caregiving for children in my family. I’ve helped care for my 5-year-old nephew along with several younger cousins over the years, so I’m very comfortable keeping kids entertained, safe, and engaged. I’m patient, energetic, reliable, and love creating a fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I offer babysitting, homework help, light housekeeping, meal/snack prep, bedtime routines, errands, and pet care if needed. I’m very hands-on and attentive — I’m not someone who sits on my phone while watching kids. They always have my full attention. I have experience with toddlers and young children and enjoy activities like arts & crafts, movies, outdoor walks, games, baking, reading, and creative play. I’m also happy to help with schoolwork and keeping routines organized. I’m comfortable around pets, including larger dogs, and can help with feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m also open to helping with household tasks like laundry, tidying up, organizing, dishes, and grocery runs. While I’m not CPR certified yet, I’m very open to becoming certified and take child safety seriously. I’m flexible, dependable, and excited to help make life easier for busy families!

Alex $15 per hour for 1 child

I am an artist with extensive service industry experience. In addition to yoga instruction, I am very passionate about both art therapy and health consciousness. I fell into Care-giving after my mum suffered a brain aneurysm rupture in March of 2020. My Pandemic experience was filled with aiding my brain damaged mother during every day tasks. I learned so much....about care giving and about myself. My patience and understanding have been the strength that keeps me going. The experience has made me even more mentally flexible and welcoming of any challenge; new or existing. My Theatre training has also been tantamount to my ability to relate to and engage with others. I look forward to meeting new people and helping anyone I can. My name means 'savior of men'. But, I'm happy knowing I made someone's life a little better than it was. And, I most definitely plan to stay on said path.

Medb $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Medb and I use they/them pronouns. I'm 22 years old and am a psychology and statistics student at Cal Poly Humboldt, though am currently home in Lincoln Park for the summer. Since I was 12, I've worked for an organization called CircEsteem, a youth circus located in Uptown. There, I was a counselor, coach, and mentor for kids ages 2-17. I was immersed in a very diverse environment, and gained experience caring for children with different support needs. I also have taken care of infants as young as 3 months. As a sitter, and more broadly as an individual, I ground myself in the values of empathy, creativity, community, and self-esteem. Through play and art, I hope to aid in teaching kids the importance of loving ourselves and others. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor for both grade school and high school students and am always happy to help with homework. I am currently task training my own service dog, and am very pet friendly :) And as a fun little bonus, I love teaching kids basic circus skills like juggling, and am into all kinds of art work and creative projects! I look forward to hearing from you:) *CPR and First Aid Certified* *Vaccinated and boosted*

"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."
