Hi my name is Crystal. I’m offering child care. I love working around children because they are full of energy and life! I can work with kids of all ages. I currently have an 18 month old who I adore. I’m currently working part time and starting nursing so any extra income will help. I am willing to help kids with homework, play sports with them, and drive them to where they need to be. I will make sure I meet the physical, social and emotional needs of your child. I can also help around with dogs. I have 4 Pomeranian dogs so I have experience with small dogs.

Crystal was excellent with our two children. She was patient, thoughtful, and asked great questions.

Abby $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Abby! I have an Associate of Arts (AA) degree with training in Early Childhood Education (ECE), and I am currently attending school to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have a genuine passion for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. I have lots of hands-on experience caring for children, including experience with my younger siblings and working with children in childcare settings. I am comfortable caring for children of different ages and enjoy creating fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and always make sure children are supervised and cared for with their individual needs in mind. I am also CPR and AED certified, so safety is always one of my top priorities. I’m happy to help with homework, arts and crafts, playtime, bedtime routines, meals, cooking, carpooling, swimming supervision, light housekeeping, and keeping the children’s spaces clean and organized. I’m also comfortable helping families while traveling. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on. I look forward to getting to know your family and discussing how I can help make your day-to-day life a little easier!

Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a graduate of DePaul University and recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a master's degree. I am 30 years old and have been babysitting ever since I was eleven years old! I have babysat children ages from 2 months to 14 years old. I love to be outdoors, bake, make crafts, dance and read. I have babysat up to ten kids at once and do not mind if it is a jam packed day full of activities or a quiet night. I am a very outgoing person and am happy to babysit whenever I can! I have babysat for over 40 families on UrbanSitter and love children. I have a full time job but am available before and after work, and of course on the weekends! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions!

Sarah was great! She was responsive and flexible and the kids loved her. We definitely hope to work with her again!

Booked by 10 families in Russell, IL

Hello! My name is Cara and I am a rising senior at Scripps College, a small liberal arts school in California. I am a sociology major who is interested in art, music, yoga, helping kids, and hope to one day get my masters in social work. I have over 5 years of experience working with kids from being a camp counselor, a teachers assistant in charter schools, and an inclusion companion at Nssra for children with disabilities. I would describe myself as kind, attentive, responsible, mature, and fun-loving. I am also more than happy to provide additional references. I am continuing to take classes this summer in the Chicago area so I have a flexible schedule that I can adjust to around need. I see babysitting as first and foremost a responsibilty to keep kids safe, happy, and going about their lives. I want to be there for you and your childs needs whether that be creating a fun activity or making sure they are in bed for a good nights sleep. I can’t wait to meet you! Note: my rates are not fixed, and I am happy to work together to find a rate that is comfortable for both of us.

"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."
