Liberty $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Liberty. I am a 21 year old special needs pre - k teacher looking for a side job. I am in school to become a pediatric nurse. I love fun activities, helping out, making the kids day better. I can cook, clean, and complete any tasks needed. I was a daycare assistant in my grandmas daycare since I was 13. So my whole life is pretty much involved with kids. I have my own car, so I don’t mind taking the kids out for mini brain breaks, ice cream, dinner and etc activities. I’m all in for kid fun as I always play with my pre k class at recess.. lol. I hope I can be a great fit for your family.

Tatum $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tatum and I graduated from Loyola University Chicago in May of 2024. I just finished an internship here in Chicago and plan on moving out of Chicago at the end of May so have a couple of months left to explore and try new things! I spent two summers (2020 and 2021) between college working as a full-time nanny for two kids back home (ages 5 to 6 and 8 to 9), helping them make lunch, taking them to activities/sports, and playing games with them. I also would help them with their summer workbooks including reading comprehension, writing, and math (even when it was the last thing they wanted to do). I am someone who enjoys being active, on their feet, and finding creative ways to spend my time, whether that be arts and crafts, reading, trying a new recipe, or just calling someone to chat when I get bored!

Booked by 1 family in Oak Park, IL

Hi! My name is Breanna, and I’m based in Uptown, Chicago. As the oldest of several siblings, caregiving has always come naturally to me. I’ve been working in childcare since I was 14, starting in daycare environments and expanding to private homes. With over a decade of hands-on experience, I’ve supported children through everything from temper tantrums to milestone moments, and I specialize in working with kids between 6 months and 14 years old. I’m reliable, patient, and deeply committed to creating safe, engaging spaces for children to grow. I’m also happy to assist with light housework and chores to make your day easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care and senior companionship. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your family’s needs!

"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."
