Erin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Erin. I am a child care worker based in Chicago and I am looking for a new family to nanny (full-time or part-time). I have around 10 years of experience in child care, and working with kids is one of my greatest passions! I currently work at a daycare, but I am looking to get back in to nannying/babysitting. I am also a dance teacher on the weekends! I am very flexible and and looking to start as soon as possible! Outside of child care, I am an artist, so I love to do activities involving dancing, singing, instruments, and art projects. I also love to incorporate outdoor activities and nature in to my care as much as possible!

Britanya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Hi! My name is Britney, and I’m 25 years old. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor's degree in Illustration. I would describe myself as optimistic, creative, kind, and a little silly. My long-term goals are to pursue a variety of artistic career opportunities and someday become a mother myself. I enjoy working with children because I love being a positive role model and helping them learn, grow, and feel supported. I began babysitting for friends and family, which led me to work at a daycare as a Teacher's Assistant and Floater. These experiences helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and patience skills. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, playing video games, and spending time with friends and family. One thing families should know about me is that I highly value respect, honesty, and open communication. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child I work with.

Cearra $30 per hour for 1 child

I bring a well rounded background in childcare, education, wellness, and behavioral support, with experience caring for children across many ages, abilities, and settings. I’ve worked as a babysitter, a co-lead teacher in infant and toddler classrooms at Bright Horizons, and for Jumpstart during college, supporting early literacy and social-emotional development with young children. I also have experience creating fun, high energy environments from my time at Chuck E. Cheese, as well as coaching cheerleading, where I supported teamwork, confidence, and physical coordination. I’m currently a certified children’s yoga teacher and puppy yoga instructor, integrating movement, mindfulness, and play to help children regulate their energy, build body awareness, and feel confident in their bodies. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and have previous Behavioral Technician training, including experience supporting autistic children and working with NorthShore Pediatric Therapy in Chicago, giving me a strong foundation in developmental awareness, patience, and individualized care. While I don’t have children of my own, I’m a proud cat mom, and I approach caregiving with a nurturing, calm, and attentive presence. I am reliable, engaging, safety focused, and intentional, whether that means structured activities, gentle guidance, or simply creating a supportive, fun environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am also certified in Accessible & Chair Yoga that is great for seniors.

"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."
