Booked by 7 families in North Chicago, IL

Hi! I have been working with kids for 15 years. I love playing music and games with the children I work with. I also like to bake and cook teaching the kids valuable skills as well. In the past five years I have babysat children ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old. I nannied and did e-learning/school during the pandemic with a first grader and fifth grader with a range of responsibilities from preparing meals to helping complete classwork to planning activities for the day. I am currently going back to school to be a special education teacher.

“Aileen really helped us out; had a different sitter cancel an hour before and Aileen stepped in quick! Kids had a great time, Aileen was so helpful, and I would definitely have her sit again!!”

Hi, My name is Pam and I currently attend Oakton community college in hopes of going to medical school in the future. I’m offering child care, senior care, as well as household services as my schedule is pretty flexible. I have been babysitting for over 7 years now and I’ve watched kids of all ages, as well as multiple kids at once. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and after school activities, tutoring, and keeping kids occupied with fun activities and crafts. I have experience in household services such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I am comfortable working with senior care as I have been a part-time caretaker for my grandmother in the past. I can assist with daily tasks, take to appointments, as well as cook.

“Pamela was AMAZING! Will definitely book her again to babysit for us. She was on time, was able to jump into our crazy schedule with little oversight, so proactive (made our sons lunch for the next day), and stayed late at the last minute. She was gentle and kind and patient with our son, taking him to the park, coloring with them, helping with the scooters. She put everything away and was just very nice! ”

Hi! I’m Piper. I’m currently working full-time as a server, but in my free time, I love doing what I’m passionate about—caring for children. I typically work Thursdays through Sundays, but I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your family’s needs. I studied Early Childhood Education in High School and have six years of experience caring for children, especially for family friends and neighbors. I'm patient and great at building connections with children with all kinds of personalities. I'm most experienced with children 18 months and older. In addition to childcare, I offer household support such as light cleaning, meal prep, and running errands. I have my own reliable transportation, which makes me flexible and available for pickups, drop offs, or anything your family may need. I’m also an animal lover and wouldn't mind caring for your furry family members as well. I’d love the opportunity to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for your children- and to make your life easier too!

"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."
