Hi there, my name is Becca! I am a registered nurse and a recent graduate of North Park University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing l. I have experience with newborns to preteens. I have worked in a nursery for the past 9 years and through this experience I have learned to take on a very patient, kind, calm, adaptable, creative nature to connect with children. I enjoy implementing milestone activities with young children along with reading books, and doing arts and crafts during our time. In my own free time I love to bake, hike, read, and travel. I also am a lover of animals! I am newer to UrbanSitter and I would greatly appreciate an opportunity! I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with your family and to get to know your children!

“Hands down best sitter! Becca was on time and immediately jumped in getting to know our kids. She had no problem navigating bedtime and tidied up. We appreciated her flexibility and communication but most impressive, she really engaged our kiddos right when she walked through the door.”
My name is Sheila, and I have over 10 years of experience providing childcare in both daycare and private nanny settings. I am a dependable, nurturing, and responsible childcare professional who is passionate about supporting children’s safety, well-being, and development. I have experience caring for children, planning age-appropriate educational activities, and creating engaging learning environments. I enjoy organizing arts and crafts, educational games, and recreational outings, including visits to zoos, museums, and libraries. In addition to providing attentive childcare, I am willing to assist with child-related household responsibilities, including children’s laundry, organizing play areas, tidying children’s bedrooms, and helping with kitchen cleanup as needed. I am also comfortable working in households with cats and dogs. I have my own reliable transportation and report holding CPR and First Aid certifications. I can provide references upon request. My goal is to provide families with dependable, compassionate, and high-quality childcare while creating a safe, positive, and enriching environment for every child in my care.
“I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly recommend Sheila Williams for a position as a nanny. Sheila has taken care of both our sons over the last 5 years — our first from 2022–2023 and our second from 2025–2026. She has become a cherished member of our family and a real friend. We could not have asked for a better person to help us raise happy, healthy, and engaged children. Sheila has been nothing short of exceptional in her role as a nanny. One of the most remarkable qualities about Sheila is her level of engagement. She is present at all times, making sure to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment. She has an innate sense for what they need, whether it's comfort, entertainment, or learning opportunities, and responds accordingly. She consistently plans a variety of activities that keep them active and engaged. She is particularly creative when it comes to arts and crafts, often working on projects that are both fun and educational. They also attend weekly story times at several libraries in the area. Beyond indoor activities, Sheila makes it a point to spend as much time as possible outdoors, whether it be going for walks or playing in the park. She also regularly organizes playdates with other children in our neighborhood, and loves to plan outings to the zoo and children's museum. What makes Sheila stand out is her warmth and love toward our sons. She treats them as if they were her own, and adapts her style to each of their unique temperaments. As a mother herself, it's clear that her maternal instincts extend into her professional life, and we couldn't be more grateful for that. In summary, Sheila is an extraordinary nanny who combines practical skills with genuine love and warmth. We trust her implicitly and can't recommend her enough to any family seeking an individual who will treat their child as her own. Please feel free to contact me for any more information or clarification. I am confident that Sheila will continue to excel in her career as a nanny and enrich the lives of another family just as she has ours.”
I've been babysitting my whole life and really enjoy spending time with children. They are genuine, inventive and energetic and a welcome change from the adults I spend most of my time with! I'd love to meet to see if I would be a good fit for you. I began babysitting when I was 12 and haven't stopped since. My youngest sister was born when I was 14 so I have day-to-day experience caring for a young child in my own family. I babysat my way through college, for individual families and for a few churches in a daycare setting. During the summer I worked day camp for school age children and also did respite work with handicapped children. After college I worked full time in the infant and toddler rooms of an Athletic center in Denver for a year - also privately babysitting for several of those families.
Hello, I’m Vera a very caring grandmother who continues to care for children and 4 legged pets. I am now a family friend after caring (nannied) a 15 yr old girl & a 9 yr old boy, cared for boy since he was 3 months old & is presently in 4th grade. He considers me his grandmother. He spends overnighters on weekends because he misses me. I also work on a doggie sitting service when friends and neighbors need a pet sitter.

Hi.My name is Stefany, I am 31 years old, currently residing in the northwest side of Chicago. I’m currently looking for few part time morning/evenings or overnight weekend stays. Whether it’s to step out and run to get errands done, dinner with a friend, a date night with your spouse, you name it. I’m here to help! I have experience with kids as long as I can remember. Babysitting was second nature to us. Migrating from Guatemala , my mother’s specialty was babysitting but primarily teaching . However struggles came in the way , the language barrier being one of them provided me with my first job at 8 years old as a translator . . I not only was “working” but it served me as it helped me practice my second language but most importantly I found much meaning and value in my mothers work...I loved going, I was able to make friends with their kids , build relationships and left inspired . Along the way, I was blessed with having nephews and nieces. Nine now! Growing up as a tight-knit family we’re always around to help each other out. Fast forward to my late teen years into young adulthood I started taking babysitting gigs as side jobs. I enjoy not only watching after kids but being able to not only be a teacher to them but most importantly learn from children themselves . They carry much gifts and help remind us about the meaning of what life really is about I hope to be able to share this with you and your family. Look forward to meeting and working with you!

"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."
