Audrey $24 per hour for 1 child

I'd describe my personality as Patient , kind, dependable and attentive I've spent most of my life helping care for children, which naturally taught me patience, responsibility, organization, and how to create a fun and nurturing environment for kids. I love engaging children in creative activities, pretend play, outdoor time, and helping them learn through fun experiences. I've been babysitting since my freshman year of college, so I'm very comfortable managing routines, preparing meals and snacks, keeping play areas and kitchens tidy, and helping maintain an organized space. I'm also comfortable around pets, and I genuinely enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly however I can. I take initiative, pay attention to detail, and always aim to create a safe, positive, and caring environment for children. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your daughter or son feels comfortable, happy, and excited to spend time with. Your child's safety and comfort are my top priorities.I show up on time, keep your kids safe, and make sure they feel cared for and respected while you're away. I have childcare experience in both caregiving and nurturing roles and i am passionate about creating caring, engaging, and supportive environments for children. I’m dependable, attentive, organized, and deeply value building trust with both children and families.

Medb $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Medb and I use they/them pronouns. I'm 22 years old and am a psychology and statistics student at Cal Poly Humboldt, though am currently home in Lincoln Park for the summer. Since I was 12, I've worked for an organization called CircEsteem, a youth circus located in Uptown. There, I was a counselor, coach, and mentor for kids ages 2-17. I was immersed in a very diverse environment, and gained experience caring for children with different support needs. I also have taken care of infants as young as 3 months. As a sitter, and more broadly as an individual, I ground myself in the values of empathy, creativity, community, and self-esteem. Through play and art, I hope to aid in teaching kids the importance of loving ourselves and others. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor for both grade school and high school students and am always happy to help with homework. I am currently task training my own service dog, and am very pet friendly :) And as a fun little bonus, I love teaching kids basic circus skills like juggling, and am into all kinds of art work and creative projects! I look forward to hearing from you:) *CPR and First Aid Certified* *Vaccinated and boosted*

Annalea $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Annalea and I'm currently a junior at Loyola Chicago. I'm offering part-time and occasional child care and household services! I come from a big family and I've always loved kids and have been around them my whole life. I've also been babysitting and teaching swim lessons to kids of all ages for about five years!! Some of my favorite things to do with kids are crafts, hands-on learning activities, and outdoor adventures. I was homeschooled for several years so I have a lot of experience with at-home learning! I also do a lot of house-sitting and pet-sitting jobs during my college breaks so I can offer various household services and house/dog-sitting. I love animals and am happy to care for them as well.

Isabela $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Isabela, I’m 27 years old, and I have 4+ years experience as a nanny full-time and 3 more years prior as a babysitter. My experiences are from newborns to 12 years old, and I also have experience with multiple kids. I love engaging in everything related to the kids: reading books, playing games together, going to the park, being outside. I have CPR and First Aid certification, and I also am a strong driver. A little about me: I'm originally from Brazil and moved to America early 2023 to be an Au Pair. I graduated in Journalism back in Brazil, and I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish fluently. In my free time I love spending quality time with my friends, traveling and trying new coffee shops. People often describe me as calm, determined, mature and friendly. I can provide references and background check if needed. Please feel free to send me a message if you think we might be a good fit - and I’m also happy to answer any questions you have!

Isabella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Bella, an aspiring actor who just graduated from Florida Int. University and recently moved to Chicago! I moved from Florida where I gained 3 years of experience as a summer camp counselor, 2 year of tutoring, 3 years of children’s voice lesson, and a case of chronic baby fever. I also have 5 years of experience in children’s entertainment, where I performed as many characters from children’s shows so I’m fully equipped to take over your next Frozen sing-along, you deserve a break 💗 My goal is always fun learning. With a background in theatre, I’ve understood how important it is for kids to have an outlet while learning respect, kindness, and compassion. As a nanny, I hope to add that extra sprinkle to their everyday lives while also providing the essentials. I have also grown up around animals like dogs, turtles, and am currently a mother to the world’s cutest dwarf hamster! I feel completely comfortable around animals if you have a furry friend around! I have 8 years of experience with volunteer work so I’m highly empathetic towards family situations and understand that it makes the world of a difference to have a helping hand. I would love to provide that service.

"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."
