Booked by 5 families in Berwyn, IL

I am an experienced babysitter who loves to help foster creative thinking through play! I've babysat children ages 6 months - 13 years old and I've also worked with children and adults in educational settings including The Piven Theatre Workshop, Time Education, Right At School After School program, and Flashpoint College. I am an engaging child caretaker who knows how to show up and be on time, with current CPR/AED certification. Separately from childcare, I run my own business, which means I'm not seeking a full time role but I do have some flexible availability that can be helpful for families seeking backup care, date nights, or potentially part-time care.

Carrie is great! She went above and beyond. Our daughter loved her and asked if she could be her babysitter all the time. Also our dog had an accident and Carrie stayed cool and helped. Definitely recommended

NEW clients: Please message me before offering a job. I often get requests that expire before I can take action, job offers that have no information, or requests for schedules I cannot accommodate. I feel much more comfortable and safe accepting an offer with a family that has read my profile clearly and that provides complete information. My calendar is very well-kept and frequently updated. I a currently on leave from my full time daycare job and have a bit more flexibility with my schedule. -Pre-K teacher with 8 years of daycare/preschool experience -passionate about arts and antiracism -queer-friendly -pet-friendly -exp. caring for infants-middle schoolers

Alex was friendly and caring from the start. Our 17 month old had a great time and was appeared to be looking for Alex after she went home. Our toddler was having a hard time napping and Alex used her skills from working in childcare to keep her on schedule - thank you Alex!

Hi there, my name is Sam! I’ve been working with kids since I could remember and I’ve always loved it. I used to work at Disney World so if your kids love Disney we’ll definitely get along. With my experience in childcare and other relational jobs I’ve had I’ve learned to become very patient, kind, attentive, flexible, trustworthy, and creative. I can help with cooking, laundry, and other light household duties. In my free time I enjoy reading (especially about leadership, self-development, and communication), staying physically active, and finding new recipes to try. Thank you again for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon!

I am 28 years old, and a registered nurse. I have been babysitting for about 10 years and my experience includes working several different families here on Urbansitter, in my neighborhood, as well as some family children. I went to the University of Iowa and studied health and human physiology and graduated nursing school in 2023. I worked as a day camp recreation leader for day for 7 years with the chicago park district, which allowed me to increase my experience working with children. I enjoy working with children and keeping them entertained through different activities, whether its arts and crafts or playing outside. I am also cpr certified and fully vaccinated. I prefer zelle,cash or Venmo but can be flexible. I look forward to working with your family!

Willing to help with chores around the house, cooking, tutoring, homework, sports, activities, transportation, etc. - really anything you might need!

Lily was on time, great with our kiddos and even washed up dishes I had left in the sink!
