Hello!! I’m Christy and I’m 18 years old, I graduated from yorkville high school and currently in community college. I am offering child care and pet care! Although I’m young, I feel I have obtained experience through my family, from having 5 siblings as well as nephews. I have also took care of cats and dogs throughout my years. I would love to share my skills, if needed, including tennis, cooking/baking, crafting, and reading! I’m able to help with chores and other activities/ tasks with kids or pets.

Taryn $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Taryn, I’m 20 and I am very passionate about working with children (and I love pets!). I currently attend the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and I’m hoping to find a family that is looking for a nanny/frequent sitter. I’m currently in Knoxville TN, but will be in Darien IL during the summer and other breaks. I’m a sophomore and I’m studying to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I have a deep understanding of child development and the importance of fostering a positive and nurturing environment for children. I am committed to providing high-quality care that promotes growth, development, and learning for all the children I work with. I also have a younger brother who has autism and intermittent explosive disorder. I have spent countless hours working with him, learning about his needs and how to provide the best possible care for him. I have developed the patience, empathy, and the skills that are necessary to provide excellent care for children with a wide range of unique needs. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, and I worked at an after school daycare program at the Lagrange Highlands Elementary/Middle school with kindergarten-Middle schoolers for a year, before going to college. This past summer I was a full-time nanny for an 11 year old girl with some special needs, where I would drive her to her activities, ride bikes, swim, paint, bake desserts, make slime, and do other fun actives with. I also made her meals, walked their two dogs, and did various chores/maintenance cleaning each day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about leaving your children with a nanny/sitter, and I am more than happy to stop by to meet you and your kiddos before being hired. Thank you for considering me as your nanny. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family!

I truly enjoy working with children and focus on creating a safe, calm, and structured environment where they feel loved, understood, and supported. I am very attentive to routines, safety, and each child’s individual needs.

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.

"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."
