Hi! I’m a graduate from Loyola University and am pursuing my Masters in Education. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been working with children from the ages of 3 months to 13 years old for 6+ years now and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have years of experience in the school/classroom setting as well as babysitting for all different age levels. Working in these positions is a very fulfilling and rewards experience that taught me patience, creativity, and responsibility. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or simply offering a listening ear, each interaction I’ve had contributes to the love I have for my job and building that safe and nurturing environment!

“Brianna has a sweet and nurturing nature that is immediately clear the second she walked in the door. Prior to the job, she was very communicative and responsive. She was professional and genuinely has a passion for spending time with kids. ”

Hi, my name is Elissa! I’ve worked for the Wilmette Park District as a counselor for four years now. I’ve looked after kids of all ages, and I’m a mandated reporter for the state of IL. I’m looking for work opportunities through the school year. I have open availability and I’m flexible with my time as well. I have a reliable car if driving is a must. I’m skilled at cooking (especially healthy meals) and basic cleaning, and I don’t mind random tasks- whatever you need. My main priorities in caregiving are keeping kids safe, happy, and busy. Please reach out if you have any questions!

“Elissa was so wonderful! She was great with communication, kind, patient, fun. Our daughter loves her! I highly recommend and will be reaching out to Elissa for future needs!!”

Booked by 1 family in Northbrook, IL

I finished high school and am taking a gap year. I enjoy babysitting the kids in my neighborhood and would like to find more opportunities to babysit with other families. I do not believe in being on my phone while I am with your children. I believe in spending time with them and doing things that they enjoy. I am very creative and particularly love doing art projects and baking.

“We really appreciated Lilia. She was fun, listened, and mad my little guy comfortable. ”

"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."
