Kassandra $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kassandra. I’m 23 years old and live in Evergreen Park, Illinois. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant and currently working toward my associate degree at Moraine Valley. Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, especially when it comes to children. I have hands-on childcare experience from working as a class leader at a daycare in Brookfield, where I cared for infants and toddlers from newborn to 2 years old. In addition, my background as a CNA has given me strong patient-care skills, including safety awareness, responsibility, and compassion. I truly love working with kids and believe they are the future, which is why I care for every child with patience, kindness, and love. I am also a big animal lover and feel comfortable around pets. Friends and families describe me as dependable, trustworthy, and attentive, so you can feel confident knowing your children are in caring and capable hands.

Taryn $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Taryn, I’m 20 and I am very passionate about working with children (and I love pets!). I currently attend the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and I’m hoping to find a family that is looking for a nanny/frequent sitter. I’m currently in Knoxville TN, but will be in Darien IL during the summer and other breaks. I’m a sophomore and I’m studying to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I have a deep understanding of child development and the importance of fostering a positive and nurturing environment for children. I am committed to providing high-quality care that promotes growth, development, and learning for all the children I work with. I also have a younger brother who has autism and intermittent explosive disorder. I have spent countless hours working with him, learning about his needs and how to provide the best possible care for him. I have developed the patience, empathy, and the skills that are necessary to provide excellent care for children with a wide range of unique needs. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, and I worked at an after school daycare program at the Lagrange Highlands Elementary/Middle school with kindergarten-Middle schoolers for a year, before going to college. This past summer I was a full-time nanny for an 11 year old girl with some special needs, where I would drive her to her activities, ride bikes, swim, paint, bake desserts, make slime, and do other fun actives with. I also made her meals, walked their two dogs, and did various chores/maintenance cleaning each day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about leaving your children with a nanny/sitter, and I am more than happy to stop by to meet you and your kiddos before being hired. Thank you for considering me as your nanny. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family!

Angelina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angelina and I am a pre dental student looking to take on some roles for the summer! I strive to be a responsible, patient, and energetic caretaker and I believe in creating an interactive and positive environment for every child I am with! Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing engaging activities, or maintaining routines, I am dependable and attentive to each child’s needs. As someone who is highly organized and detail-oriented, I understand the importance of safety, communication, and trust when caring for children. I am also calm under pressure and able to adapt to different personalities and situations with patience and kindness. My goal is always to make sure children are not only cared for, but genuinely enjoy their time while parents feel confident knowing they are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to provide reliable, attentive care for your family.

"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."
