Aysha 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Aysha. I’m an undergraduate at DePaul University pursing a psychology degree, but outside of that and I’ve been working in childcare for 3-4 years. Since high school (2019) I’ve been tutoring children ages 12-18 from everything from algebra to trigonometry and even some language classes. Directly after graduating from highschool I’ve worked as an assistant teacher for It Takes a Village Family of schools where I was an assistant teacher/after school mentor for 3rd and fourth graders. Here’s where I recovered most of my early childhood learning credits as well as where I became CPR/First Aid Certified and received certificates for working with older youth. Due to commuting times however, I decided to work in more part-time daycare positions. That were more college schedule friendly. For around a year now I’ve been working in daycare facilities through an app called Tandem. Working with smaller children comes more naturally to be (being an eldest of 5) and toddler-aged children and I follow of routine/pattern which I find works well with my natural abilities. Through tandem I also took classes in preventing sudden infant death and shaken baby syndrome. By working with Tandem I am also required to be consistently up to date with my TDAP, COVID, and Flu vaccines. Outside of childcare I would call myself very math/science inclined. Currently I’m a statistics tutor at DePaul but I’m also a French minor and would love to share my love of language/culture with your child. But I’m also a big fan of arts/crafts, including painting/drawing, so whatever your kid is into, I’m sure we can find common ground in some way. My plan after college is to become a child psychologist so this is all really in my field of interest! Overall I consider myself a very dynamic caregiver with a lot of experience and ambition and potential to improve. And if chosen, I would love to be an addition to your family’s dynamic or even just help to lighten your load on a date night. Please ask me for my reference list or inquire more, I’m always happy to share!

“Aysha is great to work with. She is very punctual, responsive in her communication. She keeps our daughter very engaged with reading, painting and other forms of art (which she's very good at!). We would highly recommend her. ”

“I can't say enough good things about Myriam Chery, who took care of my baby from one month to 15 months. She arrived every weekday at 9 AM and was dedicated to creating a loving and safe environment. Myriam not only engaged my child with fun activities but also kept a daily journal updating me on milestones and daily routines. She also responsibly administered medication when needed, which made me feel incredibly reassured. Her warmth made a noticeable difference in my baby's early development, and she communicated openly about everything. I highly recommend Myriam to any family looking for a caring and reliable nanny! We're so grateful for her support during such crucial.”

Hinda $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Hinda, and I offer childcare services for newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, as well as senior care and assistance with running errands. I am a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience supporting families in both everyday and high-needs situations. I have worked with children of different ages and have strong experience with newborn and infant care. I am also a parent myself and spent several months closely involved in hospital care alongside doctors, nurses, and specialists, which gave me a deep understanding of infant safety, routines, and medical awareness. My responsibilities have included feeding, diapering, sleep routines, playtime, developmental activities, and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. I am CPR and First Aid trained and always prioritize children’s well-being and comfort. I also provide attentive care for seniors and can assist with errands, appointments, and daily tasks as needed. I am comfortable following family routines, communicating clearly with parents, and providing dependable care. I take pride in being calm, attentive, and supportive, and I truly enjoy helping children and seniors feel safe, happy, and cared for. I look forward to working with families who value trust, communication, and compassionate care.

"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."
