Booked by 1 family in Lincolnwood, IL

I finished high school and am taking a gap year. I enjoy babysitting the kids in my neighborhood and would like to find more opportunities to babysit with other families. I do not believe in being on my phone while I am with your children. I believe in spending time with them and doing things that they enjoy. I am very creative and particularly love doing art projects and baking.

“We really appreciated Lilia. She was fun, listened, and mad my little guy comfortable. ”

Hi! I’m a graduate from Loyola University and am pursuing my Masters in Education. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been working with children from the ages of 3 months to 13 years old for 6+ years now and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have years of experience in the school/classroom setting as well as babysitting for all different age levels. Working in these positions is a very fulfilling and rewards experience that taught me patience, creativity, and responsibility. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or simply offering a listening ear, each interaction I’ve had contributes to the love I have for my job and building that safe and nurturing environment!

“Brianna has a sweet and nurturing nature that is immediately clear the second she walked in the door. Prior to the job, she was very communicative and responsive. She was professional and genuinely has a passion for spending time with kids. ”

Iris 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lincolnwood, IL

Hello! I have experience in childcare, as a mother I understand and comprehend the requirements and attention that children demand, I can help with easy tasks around the house such as preparing food for the children, basic cleaning, running errands, taking the kids to extracurricular activities, I also love pets, I have full-time availability from Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 2:30pm, my main language is Spanish but I understand English at 50%.

“Iris has been part of our family for two years, and it's hard to imagine our kids' early years without her. She started caring for our daughter Luna at just 3 months old, and when our son Atlas arrived about six months later, she took him on too, managing two infants without missing a beat. What sets Iris apart is how naturally she's become family, not just childcare. She reads both kids incredibly well, adapting to their different personalities and needs, and handled the jump from one baby to two with a calm we didn't know was possible. One thing we especially value is that Iris speaks to our children in Spanish, giving them real bilingual exposure from infancy. If you're looking for a professional nanny who will genuinely love your children and grow with your family, Iris is exactly that. We recommend her without hesitation.”

"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."
