Arianna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Arianna and I’m currently pre-med at Loyola university and I am offering child care, senior care or any household services! I love babysitting and have been helping my family and their friends babysit since I was 14. My experience with babysitting has been really great, when I was 16 I had experienced caring for a special needs child which helped my ability to care for different children when it comes to their specific needs! I also help tutor kids with their homework. I don’t have a car but I do live in an apartment/dorm downtown so I can commute through public transportation and I also offer cooking, cleaning, and will run errands when needed to. I also care for pets (I am not allergic to animals).

Irene $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Irene! I’m looking to babysit for more experience in the childcare field! I have worked mostly with children with special needs and was training to be an ABA therapist. Love to work with all children! I love all animals and I’m very well acquainted with most pet care (exotic as well). I’ve been babysitting unofficially for about 9 years so I wanted to give it a more professional try!

Sofia $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Oak Park, IL

⸻ Hello! My name is Sofia, and I am 24 years old. I graduated from Marquette University in May of 2024 with my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and am currently pursuing my master’s in HR at DePaul University. I moved to Chicago in early June of 2024 and since then have been nannying for a family I met through this app. I’m now seeking another part-time position since he will be starting preschool. I have 4 years of experience working with children in roles such as preschool teacher, nanny, and mental health technician. I value clear, efficient communication and always strive to provide that as a nanny. I enjoy keeping to a routine tailored to each child’s needs so they feel secure and know what to expect each day. My goal as a caregiver is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I’m also happy to help around the house or run any errands you may need—I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. My availability is flexible, but I’m usually available Monday–Friday anytime before 2:00 pm, with some availability for date nights as well.

Yuping $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Oak Park, IL

I am always recognized by friends and colleagues as a caring, uplifting, and dependable person who truly enjoys supporting children and families. I have more to give with creative background and Bi-lingual educational background can support more for children to learn, grow, and feel safe, happy, and loved. My previous homeschooling experience with a loving family has given me a strong foundation in creating a supportive and playful environment, and caring for children with age appropriate needs, and assist with daily routines, outdoors(playground and museum activities), school transportation, homework, creative activities, light household help, and healthy meals. I also have a reliable car, a clean driving record, and CPR & AED certification through the American Heart Association. Thank you for considering me to care for your children and support your family needs.

"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."
