Hi! My name is Natalya and I am a Research assistant and student at UIC. I work as a Nursing tech at Northwestern twice a week. I am primarily available for occasional babysitting on weekend days and week nights! I’ve worked with high school students previously for two years in Chicago and for a year in Madrid, Spain. I am the second oldest of five girls so I have been taking care of younger siblings my whole life. I began babysitting about 12 years ago. I also worked as a nanny for one family for four years in college. I am hoping to eventually become a pediatrician! In my free time I love to read, run, and drink good coffee or tea.
“Was very friendly and helped out to put the baby to bed as we were leaving!”
My name is Janet. I am 33 years old. I work in a Head Start Program as an Associate Director of Family and Community Engagement. I am bilingual (Spanish speaking) and have a bachelors degree in Social Work. I have experience working with children of all ages. I consider myself a very responsible, fun and caring person.

My schedule is very flexible if you are looking at a specific date please message me.

Hello! My name is Annaliese and I am a medical student at UNC Chapel Hill SOM who is in Chicago to perform research for the summer! I am in Chicago from 7/2 - 7/31. I am fully vaccinated (with booster) and have had extensive experience with kids; I worked as a substitute teacher in special education K-8 during college breaks, served as a camp counselor at a summer music camp, have babysat for at least 35 families since I was 15, and tutored chemistry and physics for high school and college students. I LOVE cooking (esp. healthy foods!) and would be happy to help meal prep and perform light household chores (i.e light cleaning, dishwashing, laundry) for you and your family. I would also be happy to help your kids with tutoring if needed and am a huge fan of off-screen time. Regarding travel, I am absolutely open to it and have traveled with families to Tahoe and Northeast Harbor and as a nanny recently! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you think I would be a good fit for you and your family! :)
“Annaliese was wonderful. She was so kind, fun, and reliable. My kids loved spending time with her and she kept us up to date on how the kids were doing. ”
I am the oldest of six children and was more of a parent than a sister to all of them. The two youngest kids are 15 and 13 years younger than I am. I love children and have always enjoyed being around them. I am a trained Chef and can cook or help prepare meals if needed. I am also a Chef Instructor and Assistant Food Stylist. At this time I am interested in occasional babysitting to supplement my freelance income. Being able to hang out with kids would be a fun and fulfilling way to do that.
“Quick to respond, so friendly, and good with my 11 year old. They had a great time!”

"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."
