Jessica $22 per hour for 1 child

My degree in education, childcare, and all the necessary first aid qualifications offer a solid foundation to my approach to childcare. I completed my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education with a Minor is ESL from DePaul University. My aim is to help kids achieve their goals by creating an encouraging learning environment full of interaction— hands-on activities, singing, outdoor explorations, crafts, etc— and positive energy! Although I love to have fun and engage with my kids, safety is my utmost concern and I carefully monitor children during indoor time as well as when I take them on outings to the park or walks around the neighborhood. With strong interpersonal skills, I have the ability to communicate effectively with kids and their guardians. I have 10+ years of childcare experience as I progressed from a babysitter in my early teens, to a part-time nanny, to working full-time in a classroom.

I am looking to find a family, where I can share my skills and interests in art and photography and a love of the outdoors/nature and mindfulness. I have a car, clean drivers record and references from former child-related jobs.

Nadia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Nadia Johnson. I’m a proud mother of two daughters, and I’ve been a preschool teacher for over 10 years. I hold bachelor’s degrees in Early Childhood Education and Criminal Justice, and I’m certified in CPR and food handling. In addition to my work with young children, I’ve also had the privilege of caring for elderly individuals, bringing the same kindness and patience I have with kids. I’m outgoing, funny, and kind, with a big smile and a nurturing spirit. I absolutely adore dogs—I have two of my own—and I love creating a warm, joyful environment for both kids and pets. I can’t wait to join a family and help their child grow and thrive.”

Booked by 1 family in Lincolnwood, IL

Hello! My name is Martina and I have over 27 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to school-aged kids. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow in a safe and loving environment. Families describe me as kind, patient, and dependable. I’m comfortable with pets, have my own transportation, and can help with light cleaning, meals, or errands if needed. I’ve worked with several wonderful families in the Chicagoland area, including Glenview and Franklin Park, and I always treat the children I care for as if they were my own. I’m looking forward to meeting a family that values trust, care, and positive energy!

"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."
