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. I’ve 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, I’m 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.
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! My name is Dria and I am a college student studying in downtown Chicago at Roosevelt University. I am living in an apartment in Pilsen, and am available to work anywhere accessible by CTA! I am CPR and First Aid certified! I have 6 siblings, 3 of them being younger than me (2, 6, and 10 years younger!) so I have a lot of experience with kids of all ages. I have done a lot of summertime babysitting for family, friends, and more. I also worked as a Camp Counselor at a children’s summer camp! I can cook, clean, and of course ensure that your children are in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment!
I have been working as a Babysiiter/Nanny for about 11 years. I worked in the early childhood center in my college freshmen year with Infants through the age of 4 years old. I worked with a wonderful family for about 5 years. I had many more families I worked with for a couple of years as well, and date nights. I like to inform the parents on how their children are doing. I love children, I also enjoy playing with them and teaching them how to learn new things such as reading doing math problems and much more. I am responsible, honest, friendly and have great communication with parents.
“Elizabeth responded quickly, was prompt and interacted well with our children. I would gladly use her again.”
Hi there! My name is Alvi and I am a fulltime nanny/babysitter in the Chicago area. I went to college for musical theatre so I'm very outgoing and playful and love singing for kiddos! I used to work as a teaching artist with Stages Chicago and enjoy trying musical instruments and dancing with kids as young as 18 months. Currently, I nanny an 11 year old after school and assist in taking them and their 14 year old sister to activities. I keep spaces tidy and prefer no complicated meal-prep.
“Alvi was so fun! Prompt, professional and my daughter would be happy to hang with Alvi again. Till next 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."
Laura F., mom of two
