Hello! I have only recently joined this app so I do not have any reviews but I am able to provide references if needed. I'm currently looking for a part-time or full-time nanny position within the city. I have over 11 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including daycare centers, private nanny positions, and as a substitute teacher assistant with Chicago Public Schools. I'm hoping to find my next long-term family—one I can build a strong relationship with while providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where your child(ren) can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm CPR certified, trained in SBS and SIDS prevention, up to date on my Tdap vaccine, and fluent in both English and Spanish. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, I'd love to connect and chat more. Thank you!

Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am currently a sophomore at Miami University double majoring in psychology and piano performance. Not only do I have experience being a full-time nanny over the summer to two wonderful girls, I also have significant experience with babysitting children ages 0-16. These experiences have truly fostered my love for children and I am extremely passionate about creating a safe, stimulating, and of course fun environment for kids of all age ranges, genders, backgrounds, etc. I have a very lively, bubbly personality which allows me to connect with kids and keep up with them when it comes down to play time. I also pride myself in my patience and my ability to remain calm in stressful situations, especially when resolving conflict. I am CPR certified and first-aid trained which is a skill I have sharpened through my years of work as a lifeguard. Overall, I really love to be a safe space for kids to be their authentic self and aim to create a supportive and fun environment both for the kids and for the parents as well.

Hi- My name is Serenity and I am a law student working towards being a lawyer within the next few years! I enjoy working with infants, toddlers, and kids all the time.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oak Lawn, IL

Hello! My name is Angela, and I’m a first-year graduate student at the Elliott School of International Affairs, where I’m earning my master’s degree in International Affairs. I am currently looking for a summer full time/ part time babysitter position while I spend my summer in Chicago. I offer reliable childcare, pet care, and household support. I’ve worked with children since I was 13 as a summer camp recreation leader for the Chicago Park District, daycare assistant, ESL teacher, and program facilitator, and currently a DCPS substitute teacher building a strong foundation in creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments for kids of all ages. I describe myself as sweet, kindhearted, and energetic, and I genuinely love helping children stay happy, healthy, and thriving. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support multilingual households and help children practice language skills when needed. In addition, I’m a big dog and cat lover, and I’m always excited to help with pets. I have a valid driver’s license, experience babysitting young children, and I’m comfortable cooking, cleaning, and running errands for families.

“We were so fortunate to have Angela support our family for a week during the morning and evening routines while one parent was out of town. She was dependable, proactive, and incredibly caring, helping keep our children happy, engaged, and on their normal routines during a busy time. Any family would be lucky to have her!”

"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."
