Lisa $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there - I'm Lisa! I have over 5 years of babysitting experience. I've worked with families in the Chicago area and I also used to work at a daycare in Beverly Hills. I’m extremely empathetic, playful, alert, and responsible. Most of my experiences are with children ages 2-13. I graduated from ISU with a BA in Theatre and I am also an SLP at a pediatric clinic. I’m happy to assist with cooking, homework, laundry, and other tasks. I truly love playing and being silly! Some personal hobbies include yoga, cycling, and writing. I love babysitting because of the joy it brings me - kids have the greatest perspective on just about everything. I am available for weekends. I hope to meet you and your family soon!

Aaliyah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! My name is Aaliyah! :) I’m an undergraduate student at San Francisco State University working towards a degree in Interior Design. I’ve spent a good chunk of my life babysitting my youngest brother who was born with cerebral palsy — who is now 14 and I still take care of him when I can! So, I’m used to diaper changing, feeding and bathing. I’m creative at heart — I believe art is a beautiful part of development and self expression with children. So, I’m big on doing and introducing arts & crafts with children!!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
