My name is Kayla. I’m a Chicago native with a background in hospitality. I began working as a CNA in high school at 16 and have been caring for people of different backgrounds since. I briefly studied children’s developmental sciences at NYU. I’ve worked with geriatric patients, patients with visual and physical impairments, developmental delays such as autism as well as some with memory loss disorders. I have 12 siblings and have cared for my nieces and nephews endlessly over the years. My most recent care has been with my nephew who is autistic, 5 now, who was fed via gtube for the first 2 years of his life. I love working with children and being hands on. I’m outgoing, personable and funny. I’m the life of the party when necessary but I handle my business with utmost care.

I love building genuine connections with both kids and parents and always create a safe, happy environment. I’d love to support your family!
“Jessica was amazing with our 6 month old. We were looking for a sitter last minute and she came through. She was punctual, communicative and professional. You can tell Jessica is a natural with babies and enjoys being around them. ”

"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
