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!
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).
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!
Hi! My name is Paige Genevieve and I am currently 23 and I graduated from Columbia College Chicago last year with a BFA in Musical Theatre. I love music, movies, and really all things artsy- paintings, poems, fashion, etc. I’m currently a server in west loop on weekends, and looking to free those weekends up for traveling to see family for the summer. I have over a decade of experience nannying for children ages 0-15. I have experience with children with learning disabilities and special needs. Infants, toddlers, pre-teens, multiple children- all very familiar to me. I can provide meal prep, household chores, love getting kiddos outdoors when weather permits, various enrichment activity, flexible learning/playing styles and I love animals so pets are no problem! I have a great passion for working with children and making families feel at ease and have peace of mind with their childcare. I am here to make your life easier! I had an amazing sitter growing up and try to emulate her always. I was also a Birthday Party Princess, so I’m big fans of Disney families! •• I am looking for a part-time- potential for full time- daily schedule. Preferred times: between 9:00-12:00 start, and 4:00-5:00 pm end time. Flexible of course, but my preference••

"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
