Hi! My name is Dari. I’m a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver with experience in child care, pet care, and household support.

Janiya $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Janiya, and I am looking for a long term family in need of a trustworthy and dedicated nanny. I was born and raised in Chicago and have lived all over the city! Being the eldest daughter in a large family I've had my fair share of caretaking, as well as 4+ years of paid sitting experience. I am comfortable with all ages ranging from newborns to teens and up to 3 children at once. My experience largely lies with caring for infants into toddlerhood and beyond. I am punctual, patient, energetic, kind and genuinely enjoy helping children learn and grow. Becoming an integral member to families is very rewarding. About myself, I am a very active and passionate person. I spent 7 years with my Girl Scout troop where we sold enough cookies to take a trip around Europe! I spent 6 years attending Montrose beach's Jr. lifeguard camp where I became CPR certified, and have been certified again since. I also played 8 years of competitive club/school volleyball where my career ended because of the pandemic. The list goes on! I am an experienced driver with a clean record as well. Please keep in touch if you are interested in chatting further!

Angelina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angelina and I am a pre dental student looking to take on some roles for the summer! I strive to be a responsible, patient, and energetic caretaker and I believe in creating an interactive and positive environment for every child I am with! Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing engaging activities, or maintaining routines, I am dependable and attentive to each child’s needs. As someone who is highly organized and detail-oriented, I understand the importance of safety, communication, and trust when caring for children. I am also calm under pressure and able to adapt to different personalities and situations with patience and kindness. My goal is always to make sure children are not only cared for, but genuinely enjoy their time while parents feel confident knowing they are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to provide reliable, attentive care for your family.

Abigail $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Abby, I'm 28 and I have been a preschool teacher for 6+ years! I have been babysitting since age 16 and have had a love for children and babies, as well as family bonding, my whole life. I love cleaning and housekeeping, as well as providing care like meals and transportation for people. I love caring! Meeting new people is easy for me because I meet you where you are, and go from there. I excel at learning what support looks like for others. My philosophy includes the Reggio Emilia approach, being silly, teaching by example, hands-on experiences, and all the other parts of day-to-day life that make the world fun. Exploring challenges and learning in nature are also big parts of my teaching style. Observant, kind, and optimistic are words I would use to describe myself. Others have chosen charismatic, funny, honest, and "there." Kids are precious and I intend to show that in my work. It is my life's work! Thank you for your consideration!

"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."
