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

“Giuliana was so great with our kids! They loved her and felt comfortable immediately. We would love to have her back anytime!”

Hi! I'm Trina! With 11 years of experience in babysitting and 7 years as a full-time nanny, I have developed a profound understanding and love for this profession. I have worked with children of all ages, which has greatly enriched my life and the lives of the families I have worked with. My approach to childcare is one that encompasses kindness, love and reliability. I strive to create a nurturing environment that encourages children to grow, explore, and express themselves creatively. Each childcare experience is an opportunity to discover new aspects of child development and education. This outlook has not only allowed me to provide better care but has also instilled a sense of curiosity and adventure in the children I work with. I'd describe my personality as loving, fun, and resilient. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and travel! I love cooking, art, music, and spending time outdoors as much as possible. I'm always down for an adventure, planned or not!

“Trina was amazing with all three kids. Can’t wait to have her back!”

Hi, my name is Suzanne! I’m energetic, creative, and patient, with a big heart for kids and the joy they bring. I love making children feel safe, included, and excited to learn and play. For the past three summers I’ve worked as a counselor at a stay-away summer camp where I lived with and cared for kids ages 8–15 for six weeks at a time. Beyond camp and taking care of older kids, I have a lot of experience caring for and babysitting toddlers 13 months and up and love how curious and playful that age is. I bring both structure and fun to every setting whether that means planning crafts, organizing games, or helping with homework. If your kids love video games I can hop into Roblox or Minecraft with them 😆 but I also enjoy screen-free activities like board games, card games, and creative projects. Along with child care I’m terrific at keeping a clean organized home, and I love pets just as much as kids. Growing up with ADHD shaped how I connect with children. I know how important it is to feel accepted and understood, and I make it my mission to ensure every child feels confident and happy being themselves. I also attended a boarding high school for art and creative writing, where I lived year-round. Since I was away from home and living in a dorm, I never needed a license, and now that I live in Chicago I rely on public transportation instead of driving. Sadly I won’t be able to provide transportation for your children.

“The kids had a great time with Suzanne! She was great at playing with the 1yo, 5yo, and 7yo.”

"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."
