Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced and reliable caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and household support. I’ve spent years caring for children of all ages. Growing up my sister was 10 years younger than me, so I had many years babysitting/caring for her and her neighborhood friends. I also worked at a daycare program for 2 years. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment, whether that’s helping with homework, planning activities, or keeping daily routines on track. I’m comfortable with pets as well (I have a husky of my own). Also, happy to help with light housework or whatever your family needs to feel supported!

Elisabeth $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Elisabeth. I am 31. I am passionate about being a caregiver and taking care of the home as well, because I thoroughly enjoy the process of being completely involved and supportive. My experience begins with six months of age up to 15 years of age. I have as well worked with a child who had severe autism and physical and intellectual disability. I’ve been a Nanny and house manager, and have primarily worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Phoenix, Arizona; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Los Angeles, California. I am new to Chicago and live in Rogers Park, so I’m happy to commute! I do not have a car at the moment. I am great with cooking as well as cleaning; and I am very patient, nurturing, supportive, and kind.

Adrienne $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a caregiver with over seven years of combined babysitting and professional caregiving experience. I currently serve weekly in my church’s children’s ministry, where I care for infants through 12-year-olds, including children with developmental and physical disabilities. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! You are about to read a fairly in-depth amount of information, but I hope it gives you a clear picture of the kind of caregiver I am and strive to be. Happy reading!! I love meeting children where they are, building trust at their own pace, and creating a space where they feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. I’m a very hands-on and engaged caregiver. You’ll usually find me joining in on playground adventures, board games, crafts, baking, reading stories, outdoor play, or homework time right alongside the children. I believe some of the best learning happens naturally through play, conversation, and everyday moments. I believe every interaction with a child is an opportunity to build trust and confidence. I want the children I care for to know they are safe, respected, and heard, while also experiencing what healthy, dependable relationships look like through everyday interactions. My background in professional caregiving and social services has taught me to remain calm, patient, and dependable while providing compassionate, individualized care. I’m comfortable with infant care, bottle feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, bedtime routines, bath time, tutoring, light housekeeping, laundry, and pet care. Every family is different, and I truly value following your routines, respecting your parenting style, and maintaining open communication so you always feel informed and confident while you’re away. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, and reliable. My goal is to provide more than just childcare, I want your children to feel loved, safe, seen, and genuinely cared for. And also, to have fun while we’re together.

Esha $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a 23 year old recent college graduate who is planning on starting nursing school this summer. I grew up as the eldest sibling and eldest cousin of our family, so I have had ample experience caring for younger children of all ages. I also have a 4-year-old golden retriever at home and love working with pets. My friends would describe me as energetic, optimistic, creative and responsible. I grew up babysitting children of family members and family friends ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I also volunteered at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit at Lurie Children's Hospital for a summer, where I helped toddlers and young children recover after surgeries. Whether this meant playing bedside coloring book games, telling a funny story, taking patient temperatures, assisting with procedures and more -I have plenty of experience working with children and remaining calm in a high pressure setting. I am excited to use my experience to best care for your children and pets!

"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."
