Booked by 10 families in Waukegan, 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.

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”

Kyleigh $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kyleigh, and I’m a graduate student at North Central College pursuing my Master’s in Occupational Therapy. I have always loved working with children and hope to become a pediatric occupational therapist after graduation. I have experience working with children in a variety of settings. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at an ABA clinic, where I work one-on-one with children with autism and support them as they develop communication, social, behavioral, and daily living skills. I absolutely love being able to build relationships with the children I work with and watch their growth and progress! I also previously worked as a Rehabilitation Technician at a rehab hospital, where I gained valuable experience working alongside healthcare professionals and developed skills in patient care, safety, communication, and assisting with daily activities. Because I’m currently in graduate school, I’m looking for babysitting opportunities that allow me to balance my school schedule while continuing to do what I love—working with children! I’m responsible, patient, caring, and comfortable working with children of different ages and needs. I am First Aid, CPR, AED, and BLS certified for both adults and children, and I take safety and providing a comfortable environment for children very seriously. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide your children with safe, caring, and engaging care!

"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."
