Leslie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Leslie, and I’m new here, but I’m offering child care, senior care, pet care, & household services! Currently looking for a more intimate/smaller work setting than the one i just left; I was a paraprofessional/teachers aid at a beautiful elementary school in Lyons Illinois. Decided to leave to focus strictly on school. Now that i’m done, i’d love to get back to what I love! I love working with children and I have for as long as I can remember, This love for working with children led me to jobs like being a seasonal recreational leader, a teacher aide in a daycare and elementary school setting, and i’ve had my share of nannying opportunities. I do have experience with children ranging in ages from new born-11 years & i have experience with children on the spectrum, as well. Over the years i’ve managed to obtained my associates in early childhood education and just wrapped up my bachelors in science of psychology and looking into becoming a certified RBT. My life has really been dedicated to helping others in all walks of life! I have worked as an activity aide at a senior rehabilitation center & i currently have 1 patient I do home care services for as needed. I’m very flexible and helpful around the house, whatever I can do to make your life a little easier, let me know! Last but not least, I love animals so if you need a dog/cat sitter/walker, i’m your Girl! I have two fur babies of my own! I have two male Yorkshire terriers but throughout my life i’ve had breeds ranging from Pomeranians to pits to poodles to golden retrievers, so i’m all for the furry forms company as well!

Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am currently a sophomore at Miami University double majoring in psychology and piano performance. Not only do I have experience being a full-time nanny over the summer to two wonderful girls, I also have significant experience with babysitting children ages 0-16. These experiences have truly fostered my love for children and I am extremely passionate about creating a safe, stimulating, and of course fun environment for kids of all age ranges, genders, backgrounds, etc. I have a very lively, bubbly personality which allows me to connect with kids and keep up with them when it comes down to play time. I also pride myself in my patience and my ability to remain calm in stressful situations, especially when resolving conflict. I am CPR certified and first-aid trained which is a skill I have sharpened through my years of work as a lifeguard. Overall, I really love to be a safe space for kids to be their authentic self and aim to create a supportive and fun environment both for the kids and for the parents as well.

Litzy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Litzy and I have been a nanny/babysitter in the Chicago area for 7 years helping families which has helped me gain the experience that I obtain. I currently live in Chicago. I started babysitting when I was seventeen years old and started nannying in 2017. I have worked with children of all ages from newborns up to middle school ages and I've worked as a child care worker in Lombard working with infants and toddlers for three years. In my most previous job I gained experience with special needs children (ADHD & Autism). My favorite part of being a childcare worker is being able to explore new interests in children. I love nature and going to the park,libraries, zoo and museums. Previous employers could describe me as patient, punctual, and a self starter. I can provide a set schedule with your child's age group that consists of Reading,Writing,Math, Arts and crafts, and movement exercises. Aside from this I can help with homework,potty training, tummy time for babies, and introducing solids. I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am up to date with all vaccinations.I am CPR and First-Aid Certified, a non-smoker, and have a clean background and driving record if driving is needed.

"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."
