Hi! My name is Angel, and I’m a college student and aspiring nurse offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy helping others. I have experience caring for children through babysitting, as well as caring for younger siblings and cousins. I’m comfortable with supervision, meal preparation, activities, routines, and creating a safe and positive environment for children. I also have experience caring for family members and can assist seniors with companionship, meals, light household tasks, errands, and everyday needs. My nursing education has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and safety-focused mindset. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal preparation, and errands. I’m respectful of each family’s home and routines and always strive to make things easier for the people I care for. While I don’t provide pet care, I’d be happy to help families with children, seniors, and household needs!
My name is Abby, I'm 28 and I have been a preschool teacher for 6+ years! I have been babysitting since age 16 and have had a love for children and babies, as well as family bonding, my whole life. I love cleaning and housekeeping, as well as providing care like meals and transportation for people. I love caring! Meeting new people is easy for me because I meet you where you are, and go from there. I excel at learning what support looks like for others. My philosophy includes the Reggio Emilia approach, being silly, teaching by example, hands-on experiences, and all the other parts of day-to-day life that make the world fun. Exploring challenges and learning in nature are also big parts of my teaching style. Observant, kind, and optimistic are words I would use to describe myself. Others have chosen charismatic, funny, honest, and "there." Kids are precious and I intend to show that in my work. It is my life's work! Thank you for your consideration!
Hello, my name is Kira I’m 27years old. I’m a mommy, I have 10 years of experience caring for children newborn-teenagers. I’ve also worked in a day care!
Hi! I'm Savannah and I'm a recent graduate from Northwestern University (with my B.A. in Psychology)! I have always loved working with kids and would love to be a helpful addition for your family! I love chatting and getting to know kids and all they have to share about, in addition to having lots of fun ideas for activities we can try! I'm also very solid in my knowledge of elementary-aged school subjects and could be a helpful tutor to your little ones (I am quite a nerd myself and actually enjoy helping with homework if that sounds useful!). I am into all kinds of hobbies including arts and crafts (especially crochet) and dancing, but always open to learn new things! I've volunteered with toddlers and elementary-aged children in different settings and was also a part-time babysitter for boys who were a bit older (end of middle school) this past year, so I can connect with various age groups. I thoroughly enjoy growing bonds with children of all ages and value the time I can spend acting as a strong role model, while still keeping it fun and safe for everyone! My goal is to really "get in where I fit in" for the family and provide any additional services as needed, whether it be walking the dog or cleaning up the kitchen, so we can discuss however it works best for your current situation. I currently work part-time in a psychology lab at Northwestern, so much of that is pretty flexible timing-wise. If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to reach out and I'm sure we can find a plan that works best. Looking forward to hearing from you!!

"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
