Hi Iām Sunny! I truly just adore kids in every capacity and always have. I taught social/emotional learning in a parent-led teacher-run co-op school for 2-5 year olds for 6 years and have been nannying for over 15 years. Open communication, exploration, and positive reinforcement are my most important values in childcare. I love helping littles to discover their autonomy and wield them proudly! Thanks so much for your considerationš
Hi families! My name is Lily, and I am excited to offer services to you. I graduated from the University of Michigan about three years ago. I am currently finishing up my first year of medical school in the Chicago area. I am offering childcare services, senior care, household services, and pet services. I have nearly 10 years of experience working with kids of all different ages; I have experience with both tutoring and babysitting. I am extremely dependable and can be flexible to meet the needs of your family. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and have 3 years of experience as a Patient Care Technician, so am also available to support older adults who may need someone to spend time with them. I have had dogs throughout my whole life and am very comfortable with pets as well. I also have a car and can provide transportation services. Willing to help with chores around the house, cooking, tutoring, homework, sports, activities, transportation, etc. - really anything you might need!
āLily was on time, great with our kiddos and even washed up dishes I had left in the sink! ā
Hello Beautiful Families! I am Micquel (my-KELL) and I am a Chicago native and current Master of Business Administration candidate at the University of Illinois at Chicago completing my studies this fall. I also hold a Master of Public Health degree from the division of Community Health Sciences with a concentration in Maternal and Child Health. I am a former Clinical Research and Improvement Coordinator at Lurie Childrenās Hospital! I have since pivoted to a role as Quality and Safety Specialist of Emergency Services at UI Health. I have always enjoyed caring for children because of their pure innocence and appreciation for life! They are always able to turn my bad days around. Since I became old enough to babysit, I have been the go-to sitter among family and friends. During my undergraduate studies, I volunteered at the local hospital in the NICU, Pediatric unit, and daycare (for 1 full year!). As volunteer chair of my pre-health honor society, I coordinated volunteers to tutor/engage with refugee children and assist staff at the local Crisis Nursery. While completing my unpaid internship for my degree program, I babysat and tutored a 9 year old boy with ADHD and on the Autism spectrum for 4 months until the grandmother of the child was able to care for him again. I have worked as a mentor and supervisor for disadvantaged youth hired by our Mayor's youth work program to beautify our city streets. This was my first full-time experience with adolescents and though they were old enough to 'babysit' themselves, I learned many techniques for grabbing and keeping their attention and asserting my authority without losing my usually calm and happy disposition. I look forward to meeting some of you and hopefully lending a helping hand to your families! :) Note: I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
āMiquel was excellent! Would definitely hire again!ā
Hi there, my name is Courtney and I am currently 33 years old. I have my Masterās of Public Health and Bachelors in Communication. I have been babysitting for over 10 years for children of all ages, and have even worked in a pre-school. I believe in having a fun, educational time with the children I babysit while following all of the parent's rules. I am also an animal lover, so if you have any pets I would be happy to tend to them while watching your children! I look forward to getting to know you, and your kids!
āCourtney was great. Very attentive and a positive demeanorā
Hi-my name is Khatania, I am 25 years old mom of a sweet 1 year old boy. I consider myself to be a born with the gift of nurture and empathy. I offer childcare, senior care, pet care and some household services related to whoever I provide care for. Iāve been a caretaker for my own cousins, nieces and nephews, grandpa and other children in my community since I was the age of 12. I honestly feel like I was born to care for the people around me in more than just a physical way. I love being outside in nature and I also love doing indoor crafts and activities, Iām just a child at heart lol. I love all animals but cats are my favorite. Looking for something flexible so I can build my life while actually having a life. I look forward to working with you.

"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."
