Valentina $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, patient, and dedicated caregiver with several years of experience working with children of different ages and needs. I have worked full-time in a daycare with newborns, toddlers, and Pre-K children, supporting their development through play, routines, and learning activities. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including epilepsy, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. In addition to my childcare experience, I worked as a full-time caregiver for seniors, where I learned the importance of empathy, responsibility, and creating a positive daily routine. These experiences have helped me develop strong organizational skills and the ability to handle different situations with care and patience. I am bilingual (Spanish and English), and I love sharing this skill with children by teaching them simple words, songs, and phrases in another language if parents are interested. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in a fun and safe environment. Families describe me as reliable, communicative, and creative—I enjoy planning activities such as outdoor play, arts and crafts, music, and educational games. My goal as a caregiver is to provide a safe, loving, and engaging space for children, while also supporting families by being flexible, trustworthy, and attentive to their needs.

Dan $19 per hour for 1 child

I’m a retired professional and Northwestern graduate with a caring, dependable nature and years of hands-on experience helping seniors and families. I cared for my father through his Alzheimer’s journey and now assist my 85-year-old mother-in-law and 86-year-old stepmom with daily needs — from shopping and meals to yardwork and companionship. I understand the challenges of caring for aging parents and know how to connect with those facing memory issues in a calm, positive way. I keep a clean, organized home, am an excellent cook, and a very efficient grocery shopper. I also bring over 40 years of experience in yard care and maintenance, ensuring that both homes and outdoor spaces are well cared for. In addition to senior care, I’m available for pet sitting, house sitting, and general household help. My goal is to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable — and to bring dependable support to families who could use an extra hand.

"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."
