Booked by 39 families in Kenilworth, IL

Hi, I’m Donna! I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years, and I’ve always loved being part of a child’s growth and development. I have a lot of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, including caring for children from newborn through age 5. I spent three years working in a daycare infant room and two years in the toddler room, so I’m very comfortable with everything from newborn routines and bottle feeding to naps, playtime, early learning, and keeping busy little ones engaged. I’m CPR certified and certified in Early Childhood Development, and I’m someone who is patient, nurturing, dependable, and genuinely enjoys getting to know each child’s personality. I love creating a safe and comfortable environment where children can learn, play, and simply be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family, learn about your childcare needs, and hopefully become someone you and your little ones can feel comfortable with and trust. 

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Donna care for our two boys from 2020 to 2023. When she started with our family, our youngest was a newborn and our oldest was three, so she was with us through some very busy and important years. She was dependable, capable, and wonderful at managing the needs of two young children at different stages. She was comfortable driving the boys to activities and outings, which was a huge help as they got older, and we always felt confident having them in her care. She also went above and beyond childcare by helping us keep the house clean and organized, which made such a difference for our family. She was flexible, hardworking, and willing to pitch in wherever she was needed. We are very grateful for the years Donna spent with our family and would happily recommend her to another family looking for an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny.”

Hello! My name is Cara and I am a rising senior at Scripps College, a small liberal arts school in California. I am a sociology major who is interested in art, music, yoga, helping kids, and hope to one day get my masters in social work. I have over 5 years of experience working with kids from being a camp counselor, a teachers assistant in charter schools, and an inclusion companion at Nssra for children with disabilities. I would describe myself as kind, attentive, responsible, mature, and fun-loving. I am also more than happy to provide additional references. I am continuing to take classes this summer in the Chicago area so I have a flexible schedule that I can adjust to around need. I see babysitting as first and foremost a responsibilty to keep kids safe, happy, and going about their lives. I want to be there for you and your childs needs whether that be creating a fun activity or making sure they are in bed for a good nights sleep. I can’t wait to meet you! Note: my rates are not fixed, and I am happy to work together to find a rate that is comfortable for both of us.

Booked by 11 families in Kenilworth, IL

I am an ECE major and infant nanny with a passion for the littles! I found an introduction into this path working as a babysitter for my infant and toddler aged nephews and cousins in highschool. While in school to obtain my bachelor’s, I have worked in clinics, in home, middle school, and as a lead teacher in a preschool! I love spending time at the beach, enjoying nature, or watching movies and cuddling with my two cats! I am comfortable feeding, changing, preparing meals, helping with academicsㅤ, light household work, and pets in the home!

“Summer was wonderful! We would love to have her over again.”

Hi! Nice to meet you, my name is Giuli, I am a dedicated, patient, non-smoker, and CPR/First Aid-certified childcare provider with extensive experience working with children of all ages-from young infants starting at 3 months old to toddlers and teenagers. I hold a background in hospitality management, which has helped me hone key skills like organization, clear communication, and creating a safe, welcoming environment for families. Whether engaging in fun, age-appropriate activities, assisting with routines and school-age needs, or going on peaceful outdoor walks, my goal is always to provide high-quality, trustworthy care tailored to your family’s needs. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your family! I also love animals. Dogs are my favorite. I have three at home: a German Shepherd, two poodles, and three cats

"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."

"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."
