Rachael $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been babysitting since before I could drive at 13 years old and have always loved it. I often babysat for a family that had a 2, 4, and 6 year old during the evenings and bedtime. I also consistently cared for a 9 month only. I then coached at a local gymnastic facility and ran kids birthday parties, taught classes, and summer camps. Following that, I taught as an assistant teacher at a Preschool for two years. The second year, I ran my own classroom of 4 year olds. I have had the most experience with ages 1-5, but also have experience with infants and older elementary students. I am from Troy, Michigan and moved to Chicago! I have a full time job during the week, but am hoping to babysit mostly just on the weekends and occasionally after school. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Tiana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Tiana, a teacher and longtime lover of working with kids. I am currently a licensed special education teacher and have experience working with children across a variety of ages, personalities, and needs. Working with kids is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, organized, and used to handling everything from big emotions and busy schedules to homework help and keeping kids entertained. I’m also comfortable working with children who have different learning styles or additional needs. I believe babysitting should be more than simply supervising children, so I enjoy getting to know each child and finding activities that they genuinely enjoy. I’m happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, playtime, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and whatever else makes your family’s routine a little easier. I’m also comfortable following parents’ routines and expectations because I know every family does things a little differently. Outside of teaching, I recently got married and moved to Chicago with my husband. I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, exploring the city, and being outdoors. I’m a warm, dependable, and easygoing person, but I also understand the importance of structure and boundaries when caring for children. Most importantly, I want parents to feel completely comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I’ll treat your home and your family with respect and care, and I’ll do my best to make your kids feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away!

Janean $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with experience working with children, seniors, and pets. I previously worked at Kumon, where I supported students with their learning and helped them build confidence and discipline in their studies. That experience strengthened my patience, organization, and communication skills. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, assisting seniors with daily tasks and companionship, and providing attentive pet care (feeding, walking, playtime, medication reminders if needed). I have reliable transportation, so I’m punctual and flexible with scheduling. I can also cook simple, healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, organize spaces, and keep homes running smoothly. My goal is always to create a safe, clean, and positive environment where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m trustworthy, detail-oriented, and treat every home with respect as if it were my own.

"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."
