βThis was my first time hiring Cristina and I would hire her again! She came in ready to hang out with the kids. She immediately tried to engage with them and was warm and loving. She was kind and easy going.β
Hi! My name is Natalya and I am a Research assistant and student at UIC by day. I work as a Nursing tech at Northwestern overnights twice a week. I am primarily available for occasional babysitting on weekend days and week nights! Iβve 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.
βWas very friendly and helped out to put the baby to bed as we were leaving!β

Cheerful actress, former Special Education Coordinator looking for additional work. For over 10 years I worked with K-8 students with higher needs, learning disabilities and behavioral trauma. I am trained in Crisis Prevention Intervention. Inside and outside of school I practice Responsive Classroom which is a solution oriented social and emotional learning approach to teaching and redirecting behaviors. Things I love: singing, making jokes, going outside and being generally playful. Excited to make new family friends!
Hi families! βοΈ Iβm Edna, an experienced nanny/babysitter with a background in early childhood development (Malcolm X College) and several years working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor play, crafts, reading, and fun hands-on activities. Iβm reliable, patient, and comfortable driving kids to activities, helping with routines, and supporting busy families however I can. If youβre looking for summer support or part-time care, Iβd love to connect!
βEdna has been serving as our two-year-old daughter's regular part-time nanny for the past six months or so, and she's been an absolute joy. She is not only teaching my kiddo Spanish, but she keeps her engaged in arts and crafts activities and works with her on good habits like picking up her toys. She is very sensitive and in tune with our daughter's emotions, and every morning my daughter races to the door in excitement to see her. She is a true natural with children, and she is responsive and communicative with my husband and me.β

"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."
