Alexandra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am the ideal 21- year-old babysitter if you're searching for someone who is responsible, courteous, gregarious, professional, and bilingual. Born & raised in the city of Chicago I’ve always enjoyed being outdoors. I know my way around the whole city, with that being hopefully I can take your kid and or kiddos to a museum or park, etc! I was the only female student on my campus to graduate with a biliteracy seal on her diploma. I hold both national and international certifications. I also graduated with honors. I presided over a club in middle school and the drill flag team (majorette with a flag) in high school. I enjoy baking and cooking, and I don't mind doing so for an additional fee. With me, I hope to be able to help your children feel secure and at ease not only with them but the parent(s) as well.

Booked by 1 family in Melrose Park, 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."
