Hi! My name is Emily. I'm a 4th year medical student looking to connect with my community and offset some of medical school's high costs. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. During my training I have cared for pediatric patients in both acute (emergency), inpatient, and clinic settings. I love working with kids and am currently interviewing with pediatric residency programs! I am BLS certified for infants, children, and adults. I have experience babysitting for children between 2 months and 12 years. I believe it's my duty as a caregiver to help create a safe and magical world for children to explore. When babysitting I love taking the kids to explore outside, reading books, and making up any wacky games I can think of! I am a dog owner and feel comfortable caring for most dogs. I have a car and am happy to do any appointment/activity drop off, grocery shopping, cooking, or cleaning needed in the household.
Hi families! I'm a recent nursing school graduate with years of babysitting experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to older kids. Babysitting has been a part of my life for years, and I've had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families. My nursing background has strengthened my knowledge of child safety, patience, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I'm dependable, nurturing, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids can feel comfortable and be themselves. I'd love to connect with your family and see how I can help!
Hello! My name is Aralena and I am a full time graduate student who just moved to the state of Illinois. I recently graduated in May 2026 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology from Louisiana State University. I may be new to UrbanSitter but I have many years of experience working with kids and I love to do it! I have worked in daycares, party centers, and have lead children closely within a church setting. I have experience working with all ages ranging from infants to 12 years old. I have years of experience with meal times, sleeping, changing clothes, changing diapers, and play time. I have worked with children with disabilities (physical and mental) and have experience working with pets, specifically cats. I have my own cat! I love music (I can play 8 instruments!), reading, and cooking. I would love to help your family with anything needed!
Hii my names Isabella ! I’m a 20 year old currently studying Biology with a focus on Genetics. I’m in my final year and excited to be just one year away from earning my bachelor’s degree. I’ve always been passionate about science and the way it helps us understand life on a deeper level, especially in the field of genetics. I’ve also always had a natural connection with kids I love spending time with them, learning from their curiosity, and helping them grow. Growing up, my family worked in household roles like housekeeping and house management, and they often took me along. So from a young age, I got to see what it means to be responsible, organized, and attentive to others’ needs. That experience really shaped the way I carry myself today. Outside of school and work, I love being outdoors, trying new foods, and finding little adventures around the city. Whether it’s going to a street market, spending time with family, or just relaxing with a good movie, I like to stay balanced and appreciate the small things in life.

"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."
