Booked by 1 family in Park Ridge, IL

Hi, my name is Suzanne! I’m energetic, creative, and patient, with a big heart for kids and the joy they bring. I love making children feel safe, included, and excited to learn and play. For the past three summers I’ve worked as a counselor at a stay-away summer camp where I lived with and cared for kids ages 8–15 for six weeks at a time. Beyond camp and taking care of older kids, I have a lot of experience caring for and babysitting toddlers 13 months and up and love how curious and playful that age is. I bring both structure and fun to every setting whether that means planning crafts, organizing games, or helping with homework. If your kids love video games I can hop into Roblox or Minecraft with them 😆 but I also enjoy screen-free activities like board games, card games, and creative projects. Along with child care I’m terrific at keeping a clean organized home, and I love pets just as much as kids. Growing up with ADHD shaped how I connect with children. I know how important it is to feel accepted and understood, and I make it my mission to ensure every child feels confident and happy being themselves. I also attended a boarding high school for art and creative writing, where I lived year-round. Since I was away from home and living in a dorm, I never needed a license, and now that I live in Chicago I rely on public transportation instead of driving. Sadly I won’t be able to provide transportation for your children.

“The kids had a great time with Suzanne! She was great at playing with the 1yo, 5yo, and 7yo.”

Hi! I have been working with kids for 15 years. I love playing music and games with the children I work with. I also like to bake and cook teaching the kids valuable skills as well. In the past five years I have babysat children ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old. I nannied and did e-learning/school during the pandemic with a first grader and fifth grader with a range of responsibilities from preparing meals to helping complete classwork to planning activities for the day. I am currently going back to school to be a special education teacher.

“Aileen really helped us out; had a different sitter cancel an hour before and Aileen stepped in quick! Kids had a great time, Aileen was so helpful, and I would definitely have her sit again!!”

Hi, I’m interested in helping you out with occasional babysitting, pet sitting, and running errands. I make an effort to be interactive with children; reading, playing board games, building legos, puzzles, playing dress-up, baking, spending time outside, playing the piano, singing, etc. I have worked with children in a school setting as an aide and I love working on homework. I try to make it fun! I love dogs and have enjoyed raising a few of my own. I have also raised a few of my own kids. I have experience with babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers, 5 year olds through teenage-years. I enjoy spending time with seniors and keeping them engaged or tending to their needs. I’m comfortable driving if you need your people or pet transported. I am a college educated native English speaker, I am also fluent in Ukrainian. I have studied Spanish and French in high school and French in college. I am looking forward to meeting new families in 2025! I know that it was vital for me to find reliable babysitters, and pet sitters when I needed them in my life. I want to take this opportunity to give back now.

“Ray was so sweet and kind. She has the warmest demeanor and my kids loved her”

"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."
