My name is Isabela, I’m 27 years old, and I have 4+ years experience as a nanny full-time and 3 more years prior as a babysitter. My experiences are from newborns to 12 years old, and I also have experience with multiple kids. I love engaging in everything related to the kids: reading books, playing games together, going to the park, being outside. I have CPR and First Aid certification, and I also am a strong driver. A little about me: I'm originally from Brazil and moved to America early 2023 to be an Au Pair. I graduated in Journalism back in Brazil, and I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish fluently. In my free time I love spending quality time with my friends, traveling and trying new coffee shops. People often describe me as calm, determined, mature and friendly. I can provide references and background check if needed. Please feel free to send me a message if you think we might be a good fit - and I’m also happy to answer any questions you have!

Annalea $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Annalea and I'm currently a junior at Loyola Chicago. I'm offering part-time and occasional child care and household services! I come from a big family and I've always loved kids and have been around them my whole life. I've also been babysitting and teaching swim lessons to kids of all ages for about five years!! Some of my favorite things to do with kids are crafts, hands-on learning activities, and outdoor adventures. I was homeschooled for several years so I have a lot of experience with at-home learning! I also do a lot of house-sitting and pet-sitting jobs during my college breaks so I can offer various household services and house/dog-sitting. I love animals and am happy to care for them 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."
