Hello! My name is Cara and I am a rising senior at Scripps College, a small liberal arts school in California. I am a sociology major who is interested in art, music, yoga, helping kids, and hope to one day get my masters in social work. I have over 5 years of experience working with kids from being a camp counselor, a teachers assistant in charter schools, and an inclusion companion at Nssra for children with disabilities. I would describe myself as kind, attentive, responsible, mature, and fun-loving. I am also more than happy to provide additional references. I am continuing to take classes this summer in the Chicago area so I have a flexible schedule that I can adjust to around need. I see babysitting as first and foremost a responsibilty to keep kids safe, happy, and going about their lives. I want to be there for you and your childs needs whether that be creating a fun activity or making sure they are in bed for a good nights sleep. I can’t wait to meet you! Note: my rates are not fixed, and I am happy to work together to find a rate that is comfortable for both of us.

Have been taking care of my shiba inu since 3 months old who has now gotten up to 15 years and still going! Trusted dog & cat sitter for several people at this point and recurring for many because I take the job seriously

Highly professional, reliable, and was able to assist during a last minute pet sitting booking! Would also recommend hiring for tutoring as they also offer that service

I am an older sister of two brothers so I definitely know how to handle kids of any age. I’m a super sweet, patient, and fun person around kids. I am currently pre-nursing and work as a medical assistant for a dermatology clinic! I am also CPR certified. In my free time, I like to go to nature preserves, hang out with my brother and or friends, read, and paint while listening to some music. I genuinely love children and I think they bring such a sweet perspective to the world. I also speak multiple languages and have two cats!

Eiman was lovely and patient with my two boys!

As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with 14 years of experience, I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. My friendly and patient demeanor creates a safe and nurturing environment where children thrive. I believe in open communication with parents and follow their preferred method to discuss their child's day or any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, from educational games that promote learning to outdoor sports and board games. With my teaching certification, ECE training, and early child development coursework, I'm equipped to provide a well-rounded and stimulating experience for your child. Additionally, I'm available to assist with cooking, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. Your child's happiness and safety are my top priorities.

"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."
