Cristina $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello, families! My name is Cristina, and I am a professional nanny and house manager with over 20 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and older children throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. I am responsible, calm, trustworthy, and caring, and I truly enjoy working with children. I love spending time outdoors, reading, playing sports, and cooking. When the weather is nice, I enjoy taking children on walks, visiting parks, and planning other age-appropriate outings. I also organize engaging indoor activities such as reading, arts and crafts, puzzles, Legos, and preparing healthy, kid-friendly meals together. As a mother of two older boys, I understand how important it is to find someone who will make your children feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a house manager and can assist with children’s laundry, meal preparation, grocery shopping, organizing, running errands, keeping children’s areas tidy, scheduling appointments and activities, and handling other household tasks that help the home run smoothly. I look forward to finding a wonderful family and becoming a trusted and dependable part of their household!

Booked by 2 families in Hillside, IL

Hello! My name is Katie, and I’ve been a professional caregiver since 2016. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns to 13 years old, and I truly love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, nurturing environment. I’m comfortable managing groups of all sizes—the largest number of children I’ve supervised alone is six, but I also served as Co-Director of a Child Outreach Program that supported 60–80 kids at a time. These experiences have strengthened my skills in organization, communication, and flexibility while keeping things calm and upbeat. I also have overnight experience through Maryville Crisis Nursery, and am trained in sleep training and crisis response including CPR and First-Aid as well as ServeSafe (food prep). In addition to childcare, I also have experience providing pet care and senior care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or administering medications for pets, or offering compassionate companionship and daily assistance for seniors, I approach every role with patience, reliability, and respect. Families and clients describe me as dependable, caring, and adaptable. I take pride in creating an environment—whether for children, pets, or older adults—where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I truly enjoy helping others and would be thrilled to bring that care and energy to your family.

Yessica 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! New on this app so I have no reviews yet. Please give me the opportunity. I’ve always been very family oriented. Have been babysitting my 10 year old goddaughter since she was a new born as well as my nieces & nephew that are under the age of 5. I babysit my cousins & friends kids when I’m needed. I’ve always been good with children & love to play, color, read and interact with them. I’d like to become a permanent trustworthy sitter to where it’s comfortable for the kids and build that relationship!

“Yessica has watched my two children. She is caring, responsible, and reliable. The kids adore her, and we feel totally at ease knowing they are with her! Thank you for all you do!”

Hello, my name is Angelica. I was born and raised in Chicago. I am mother of 2 myself and love my daughters with all my being. I consider myself to be a very patient person. I think that’s something that’s important when it comes to being a caregiver and not only that, I enjoy being able to connect with kids and help them grow and succeed as they get older. I have a lot of experience when it comes to kids, it is something that I enjoy doing and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Booked by 3 families in Hillside, IL

Hi! I'm an experienced caregiver and a mom of three young children. My youngest just started full-day pre-k, so I am looking to add care giving hours. I enjoy playing and laughing with elementary-age kids. I have experience with newborns and infants, and currently care for a 4 month-old part-time. I enjoy creating playful, nurturing environments where kids can grow and express themselves. I'm reliable, compassionate, and available for daytime, evening, and overnight care to help your family feel supported.

“Patricia has been amazing to our little girl. She is on time, responds fast, asks plenty of questions to make sure she is following your routines. Plays and reads to our baby. She is a great caregiver. ❤️”

"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."
