Tara $19 per hour for 1 child

I'm an extremely kind, compassionate, patient and caring person who's heart is rooted in serving others. I have extensive experience in child and elder care. I have 3 adult children of my own and was a PTO president for 6 years. I also was a caregiver at Sunrise Senior living on the memory care floor. I took care of my grandparents and parents. I moved in to care for my father who had Parkinson's disease in the last years of his life. He was bedridden for last 8 months of his life and myself and oldest daughter were his only caregivers. I've worked with adults with disabilities too. I have had animals all of my life and am able to walk small to medium sized dogs. I currently have 2 cats but have also had dogs, guinea pigs, hedgehogs and sugar gliders. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones!

Sandrita $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Sandrita but you can also call me Sandy! I work with kids/students of all ages to create a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I have prior babysitting experience and currently serve in the children’s ministry at my church caring for 2-3 year-olds. I’ve also worked with elementary aged kids and also have led high school student groups and summer camps, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment through play, reading, and simple routines, and I’m happy to help with preparing meals and snacks. I’m bilingual as I speak both English and Spanish. I also maintain a non-smoking and alcohol-free lifestyle. I enjoy building positive, meaningful connections with the children I care for and would love the opportunity to support your family as your babysitter!

Booked by 2 families in Prospect Heights, IL

Hello, my name is Jamie I am a 47 year old female, I am a very honest & outgoing person. I love being around kids. I take care of a little girl that is 9 years old a couple days a week. When my grandmother was alive I moved in with her. I helped her in a lot of different ways. After my grandmother passed away, I moved back in with my mom since she was alone. Unfortunately she got cancer and I helped her as much as I could. I took her to Doctor appointments picked up her medications and helped her with things around the house unfortunately my beautiful mother also passed away after a few years. I am not trying to bore you with my life story just trying to show you how caring and family oriented I am. I promise you I will put 100% in anything I do. Please consider me to help. Thank you for your time and hope to meet you soon. Thank You Jamie

"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."
