Booked by 4 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi! My name Vanessa, and I am a graduate student studying School Psychology at Loyola University. I have a strong passion for supporting children's learning and social-emotional development. I have worked in childcare for over 10 years, gaining experience in creating fun and engaging opportunities for young people of all ages. I want to continue working in childcare and am actively seeking babysitting opportunities while pursuing my graduate studies. Beyond childcare, I enjoy caring for pets and don’t mind helping with light cleaning or running errands.

I recently moved to Chicago upon completion of my degree in dance through the Alonzo King Lines Ballet. Throughout the last 7 years, I have built up a plethora of experience nannying families of all types in an effort to support my professional dance journey. I've worked with families with up to four children, as well cared for families with kids as young as newborns and as old as teenagers (both in part-time and full-time capacities). Additionally, I have extensive experience with kids with disabilities. In all these roles, I have been known for building genuine connections, maintaining organization, and stepping in wherever needed! Whether it be niche tasks you ask to be fulfilled or little things you didn't even know you needed taking care of, I bring a thoughtful, caring, and hands-on approach to care. I am looking forward to helping families in the area and growing my range of community here in a new city. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I am happy to provide more information about myself as well as a number of references and a full caretaking resume at your request.

Booked by 2 families in Oak Park, IL

Hello! My name is Ashley, and I live in Lakeview! I work as an elementary school paraprofessional/teacher’s aid, and I have 5+ years of child care under my belt as well as experience caregiving for children and adults with a range of disabilities. I am originally from the metro-Detroit area, and hold a BFA degree in acting. When working in childcare, I often use my performing arts background to create enriching and exciting activities for the kids! I am energetic and fun, and will make sure your children are well cared for while also reinforcing your family routine and daily expectations. Building off of my performing arts background, my teaching experience has given me the knowledge necessary to provide structure and set clear expectations. I would love to talk with you more and get to know your family!

“Ashley is easygoing, respectful and great at communicating...a delight! My kids had nothing but great things to say. Would definitely have her over to hang with the kids again!”

Booked by 2 families in Oak Park, IL

Hi, I am 3rd year medical student and I know how hard it can be sometimes to understand concepts of math science and even spelling and writing for a 1st grader. I love teaching. I would be happy to help them understand and ease their difficulties with all the joy and love I have for teaching!

“Jale was wonderful and our son Miles really enjoyed spending the time with her. She jumped right into playing with Miles w/out missing a beat and stayed positive, friendly and flexible throughout her visit and while watching our son. Highly recommended, Jale is fantastic!”

"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."
