"Hi there! I’m a career caregiver with a decade of experience and a heart for helping kids reach their full potential. Currently working as a SECA at CPS, I have a deep understanding of the unique needs of children aged 6 to 14. Whether it's helping with homework, managing busy schedules, or providing specialized support for neurodivergent learners, I pride myself on being patient, adaptable, and reliable. I’d love to help your family find a rhythm that works for everyone!"
Hi! I’m Angelina, a UIC student graduating this December with degrees in English and Criminology. I currently work as an Assistant Teacher at the UIC Children’s Center, where I care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers every day. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for children. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with homework, crafts, meal prep, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the kids. I’m looking for part-time nannying or babysitting opportunities this fall and can provide references upon request. I don’t have a car, so I’m looking for families near the West Town/UIC area or along CTA routes. I haven’t not used this app until more recently. I normally am in Facebook groups or word of mouth!
Hello! I'm De'ja, a Chicago-based caregiver with 7 years of experience caring for infants through elementary-aged children. I strive to create a safe, fun, and dependable environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable while parents have peace of mind. I have experience with Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, incorporating art, loose parts, and imaginative play into daily activities. I enjoy creating engaging, play-based learning experiences that support academic and social development. I've also worked in programs that emphasize nature-based play, including outdoor exploration and community adventures, which is something I truly enjoy. I hold an Associate's degree in Art with coursework in Early Childhood Education, and I'm currently pursuing my BA in an asynchronous online program for Psychology with a focus on child development. I enjoy staying active, art, STEM, books, and games!
Hi! My name is Irma, but I prefer to go by my middle name, Laura. I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Latina with over 12 years of experience in early childhood education — 6 years as a kindergarten teacher and 6 years teaching preschool. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from DePaul University, and during my college years, I also taught Sunday school. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of creating a warm, nurturing environment and am very comfortable with household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and organizing. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and development, and I look forward to bringing my experience and care into your home!
Hi :) I’m Veronica I’m located in the lower west side of Chicago. I’m just doing this part time looking for extra cash since Christmas is around the corner.

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
