I was the oldest of two younger sisters growing up. I have babysat for plenty of friends and family members over the years. I was also a nanny for two families in the past. I encourage activities that engages creative thinking and imagination-activities that will help them think but have fun at the same time. I also encourage spending time outdoors as I find being active is important. I can help out with pets, laundry, and meal prep. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I’m Annie, and I’m a recent graduate of DePaul University living in the suburbs of Chicago. I am offering childcare and household services. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old and also have experience with teaching and daycare, as well as camp counseling for various ages. I especially love music and crafts, and I am happy to chat more about your child's needs and interests to make sure they are safe and having fun. I currently work part-time in radio in Chicago, but my schedule can be flexible as long as there is advance notice for bookings. I have an Illinois driver's license and am comfortable driving. I am Red Cross certified in first aid.

Adrienne $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a caregiver with over seven years of combined babysitting and professional caregiving experience. I currently serve weekly in my church’s children’s ministry, where I care for infants through 12-year-olds, including children with developmental and physical disabilities. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! You are about to read a fairly in-depth amount of information, but I hope it gives you a clear picture of the kind of caregiver I am and strive to be. Happy reading!! I love meeting children where they are, building trust at their own pace, and creating a space where they feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. I’m a very hands-on and engaged caregiver. You’ll usually find me joining in on playground adventures, board games, crafts, baking, reading stories, outdoor play, or homework time right alongside the children. I believe some of the best learning happens naturally through play, conversation, and everyday moments. I believe every interaction with a child is an opportunity to build trust and confidence. I want the children I care for to know they are safe, respected, and heard, while also experiencing what healthy, dependable relationships look like through everyday interactions. My background in professional caregiving and social services has taught me to remain calm, patient, and dependable while providing compassionate, individualized care. I’m comfortable with infant care, bottle feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, bedtime routines, bath time, tutoring, light housekeeping, laundry, and pet care. Every family is different, and I truly value following your routines, respecting your parenting style, and maintaining open communication so you always feel informed and confident while you’re away. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, and reliable. My goal is to provide more than just childcare, I want your children to feel loved, safe, seen, and genuinely cared for. And also, to have fun while we’re together.

"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."
