Millenia $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, reliable, and attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping families feel supported. I’m calm, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I take safety and trust seriously. I enjoy spending time with kids through play, reading, homework help, and keeping routines running smoothly. I’m comfortable helping with meals, tidying up, and caring for pets as well. I show up on time, stay present, and do my best to make both kids and parents feel at ease.

Annika $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my names Annika and I have about 10 years of childcare experience with kids of all ages! Also experienced with housekeeping/cooking/pet care. I’ve worked in a variety of childcare modalities from teaching dance to toddlers (Tippi Toes), Nannying full time, babysitting for neighborhood families, overnight sitting, summer camp counseling, and more! I also have had a life long sense for working with kids and kind of a maternal instinct that comes from caring for my three siblings growing up :) Super flexible and open to creating whatever experience your kids need! Looking forward to connecting soon.

Angelina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Angelina, a UIC student graduating this December with degrees in English and Criminology. I currently work as an Assistant Teacher at the UIC Children’s Center, where I care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers every day. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for children. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with homework, crafts, meal prep, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the kids. I’m looking for part-time nannying or babysitting opportunities this fall and can provide references upon request. I don’t have a car, so I’m looking for families near the West Town/UIC area or along CTA routes. I haven’t not used this app until more recently. I normally am in Facebook groups or word of mouth!

Booked by 1 family in Oak Park, IL

Hello! I'm De'ja, a Chicago-based caregiver with 7 years of experience caring for infants through elementary-aged children. I strive to create a safe, fun, and dependable environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable while parents have peace of mind. I have experience with Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, incorporating art, loose parts, and imaginative play into daily activities. I enjoy creating engaging, play-based learning experiences that support academic and social development. I've also worked in programs that emphasize nature-based play, including outdoor exploration and community adventures, which is something I truly enjoy. I hold an Associate's degree in Art with coursework in Early Childhood Education, and I'm currently pursuing my BA in an asynchronous online program for Psychology with a focus on child development. I enjoy staying active, art, STEM, books, and games!

"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."
