Irene $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Irene! I’m looking to babysit for more experience in the childcare field! I have worked mostly with children with special needs and was training to be an ABA therapist. Love to work with all children! I love all animals and I’m very well acquainted with most pet care (exotic as well). I’ve been babysitting unofficially for about 9 years so I wanted to give it a more professional try!

A few favorites are puzzles, creating art work, cooking/baking, and reading books together. I have a great deal of experience in elder care, even assisting with hospice care. I’ve been housekeeping for a little over a year. I absolutely love organizing. I also offer general cleaning, laundry, cooking, and assistance with errands. I have years of experience in pet care as I have a dog and two cats of my own in addition to regularly pet sitting for the past year. I am comfortable with any breed of any size. I can provide walks, playtime, and feeding. I have my own vehicle I can use to accomplish whatever tasks I may need to. The biggest goal for me is to make people’s lives easier by assisting wherever I can. I am the definition of a helping hand.

Miya $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Miya and I am going into my second year at the University of Chicago! I am from Washington, DC and am living in Chicago over the summer. I love theater, reading, hiking, and fun arts and crafts. I am offering child, senior, and pet care. I have been babysitting and petsitting since I was 14 years old. While babysitting, my responsibilities have included cooking, cleaning, and tutoring, as well as leading activities for kids like crafting and dance/music lessons. My favorite experience has been teaching one of my kids ballet! I am also happy to walk and feed pets; I have 2 dogs and 3 turtles of my own so I am very comfortable with animals. I also have experience with senior care. I have grown up with my grandparents in the house and have spent a lot of time looking after them. Additionally, I worked at Grand Oaks Assisted Living Facility for 2 years. At Grand Oaks, I spent a lot of time taking care of residents as well as playing the piano for and forming genuine connections with the residents. I am very flexible this summer and am willing to dedicate many hours to working. I also would love to continue working throughout the school year this year, although my hours would slightly change then.

"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."
