Have been taking care of my shiba inu since 3 months old who has now gotten up to 15 years and still going! Trusted dog & cat sitter for several people at this point and recurring for many because I take the job seriously

“Highly professional, reliable, and was able to assist during a last minute pet sitting booking! Would also recommend hiring for tutoring as they also offer that service”

Hello! My name is Mary. I'm 24 years old and currently studying psychology at NIU. I have cared for many children ages newborn-12+.

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!

"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."
