$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Krystle and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a nanny and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, attending extracurricular activities, crafts and homework help. Currently I care for 3 children (Newborn, 1 & 3 years old) full-time. I’m full-time with my current family until mid-late April. My availability will be limited until then. I can provide references from previous families and current family. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs. I look forward to working with your family! ✔️ Vaccinated ✔️ CPR Certified ✔️ Drivers License & Insurance ✔️ Newborn Experience ✔️ School-Age Experience ✔️ Kosher Kitchen Experience

Paola $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an energetic and passionate nanny. I've been babysitting for children of various ages- from preschool to pre-teens. I am also familiar with age-appropriate activities, bedtime routines, and meal prep. I truly enjoy working with children. I am fluent in Spanish too. I'd describe my personality as fun, patience, and responsable. I like working with kids because every day can be different with them, they go through stages and changing every day. I like playing with them and providing them with all my love. In my spare time, I like to paint and create new stuff. I am working on an art project and I am trying to build my brand. One thing you should know about me is that I am someone committed and do my job with love and passion. I look to connect with the kids I work with and make a fun and nurturing environment for them.

Booked by 6 families in River Grove, IL

Hello! My name is Chloe and I've been working in childcare since I was practically a child myself! Nothing brings me more joy and fulfillment than caring for children, and watching them learn, play and grow. Outside of childcare, I am very passionate about art, theater and travel, and I incorporate these passions into my education and care. I love doing both structured and free form art activities with children, and I believe art, dance and music are fundamental to a child's development. I also have lived abroad in both Costa Rica and Guatemala, and enjoy speaking/teaching Spanish to the children I care for, while also opening them up to cultures from around the world. If you are looking for a nanny who is energetic, warm, creative, and will love your child like their own, then we might be a great fit!

“Wow she is amazing and super cute with my daughter even had a fun bag for her ready!”

Booked by 1 family in River Grove, 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."
