Im a nanny of 4, for over 6 years, with extensive experience taking care of twins. I am looking for part time and occasional jobs. I am also a mom of 4. I love kids and I especially miss taking care of babies.I have a degree in English and am passionate about language development. I love music, art, baseball, and my two little doggies who fill my days with love. I have been babysitting part time for the same families for over 7 years, and have over 10 years of babysitting experience.
“So sweet and helpful! You could tell immediately that she is such a kind person and just who you want watching after your children ”
Hi, my name is Margarita, and I’m 29 years old. I’ve been babysitting for 13 years. Growing up in a large family as the third of seven children, I naturally developed a passion for helping care for my younger siblings. Over the years, I’ve gained experience babysitting both for my own family and for others. I’ve also worked in a kids' room at a gym, (happened for about 4 years) supervising children of all ages—sometimes up to 10 at once! I truly enjoy working with kids and love watching them grow and knowing I’ve contributed positively to their development. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m a proud mom to two little ones: a 5-year-old son named Ace and a 4-year-old daughter named Alaia. Also currently fostering a 10 month old baby girl who we are hoping to adopt soon! I also have 7 years of experience in housekeeping. For the past 4 years, I’ve been working full-time in the human resources department of a nonprofit organization, handling payroll.
Hi! I’m Yasmine - I’ve been a sitter for 5+ years. I am CPR certified, first aid trained and fully vaxxed. I am also bilingual in Spanish. I am looking for flexible part time work, date night/weekend opportunities and also tutor. Looking forward to meeting you!
“I have not used my Urbansitter account in years and I reactivated to post a last minute job that Yasmine responded to. She accepted a phone interview and was even able to quickly provide a reference for me within 24 hrs. We met her in person a few days later and she stayed with my kids (6 and 9), for about 8 hours. She punctual and immediately stepped in to help get their dinner ready while I got dressed to go to my event. I hung out for a bit but I could tell the kids seemed comfortable so I felt good about leaving them in Yasmine's care. I could tell she has experience with young kids. Very warm and and really takes the time to get to know them. They told me she can definitely babysit them again!”
Important notice: I will not be available until July 2nd, 2026. I will be finishing teaching abroad before then. Hello. My name is Jenn, and I am a former K-3rd grade Art teacher and currently an English teacher in Spain. I will be back in Chicago soon and would love to continue connecting with families. I have worked with children of various ages and love keeping them active and engaged in fun activities. I speak both English and Spanish and have experience teaching Spanish as well. I have two cats, so I don't mind taking care of pets as well. I am a very outgoing person with a bubbly personality. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Hi! I am experienced in long term and occasional sitter jobs and am willing to be flexible with necessary tasks. I am happy to help out with late nights or overnights as well with over 500 hours of experience in overnight care. I feel most comfortable being with children but can also can help out with homework, playtime, meals, light housework, and piano practice if applicable. Pets are perfectly fine, and I have over 100 hours of animal shelter expertise. I am currently a pre-medical student at Loyola studying Biology and am looking to pick up a few shifts throughout my semester. Proof of vaccination can be shown as well as my student ID from Loyola.

"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."
