Zephaniah Park Forest
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Zephaniah! I’m 19 years old, have my own reliable transportation. While I’m new to babysitting through this app, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for friends’ and family members’ children—always receiving positive feedback! I truly enjoy working with kids and making a difference in their lives. I’m respectful of every family’s rules and will always check in before making any decisions. I also love cooking (just let me know about any allergies), playing games, keeping kids entertained, and helping with homework. Plus, I don’t mind tidying up to make things easier for parents. Caring for children is something I’m passionate about, and I look forward to bringing a fun, safe, and supportive environment to every family I work with!

Diamond Sauk Village
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Diamond! Working with kids is honestly my superpower. I currently work at a daycare with children from infants to 5 years old, and I’ve also helped run summer camps for kids of all ages. I’m active in youth ministry too, where I work with both little ones and teens, so I know how to connect, communicate, and keep things fun no matter the age group. I have all my childcare certifications, and i am CPR and First Aid trained for children and adults. Kids have always felt safe around me, I’ve got that natural connection that makes them open up, try new things, and step out of their comfort zone. Parents joke that I’m the “child whisperer” because of how quickly children gravitate toward me, and honestly… they might be onto something! I’m also big on being dependable and helpful beyond just babysitting. I have my own transportation, so I can handle pickups, drop-offs, and errands if needed. I believe in leaving a home better than I found it, which means cleaning up after activities, meals, and playtime is always part of the job for me. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, sticking to bedtime routines, or just making sure your child feels heard and cared for, I bring the energy, the patience, and the trust. Most importantly, I make sure kids have fun, while parents get peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, nurturing, and a little bit magical with kids, I’m your girl! 😊

"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."
