Hello! My name is Hannah, and I’m currently studying Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am also an assistant preschool teacher. I have a passion for traveling, reading, and trying new foods. I’ve always loved working with children and have years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age kids, teens, and children with varying abilities. My background includes working closely with children with disabilities, and I pride myself on creating a nurturing, inclusive environment for every child. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and running errands to help make your life a little easier. I’m excited about the opportunity to provide dependable and compassionate care for your family!
Hello! My name is Beth, I am a very outgoing and energetic person. I have several years of child and pet care experience and my experience in hospitality has forged strong multitasking and organizational skills. I also have experience in house keeping and assisting in general daily tasks that keep life moving smoothly.
I am from the west side of Chicago and I have been taking care of children since I was a young teenager. I have worked with a company for a little over 2 years, working with kids who attend school. I can help with chores around the household, homework, or any other tasks that will create a comfortable space. I own a dog and know why or how a task involving a dog will be handled. If I have questions I communicate well with the guardians and able to figure out the situation.
“Very good and patient ”
Hello! I’m Letty, a Chicago native with a heart for caring for others. With a lifelong passion for nurturing children, I’ve become the go-to babysitter among friends and families, cherishing every moment spent guiding and supporting young minds. Recently, I’ve had the joy of caring for three families with children under 7, where I focused on creating safe, engaging, and loving environments. During college, I also taught 2nd graders at a local church, helping them develop a love for learning and growth. I am fluent in Spanish and happy to introduce or reinforce Spanish with your little one if you’d like. I’m also brushing up on my French. Families describe me as adaptable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing atmosphere. I am fully vaccinated (COVID-19 + booster and the latest flu shot) and happy to provide references upon request. I’d love to connect and learn how I can best support your family’s needs. Please feel free to reach out. I’m flexible with scheduling and eager to be a trusted part of your journey.
“Letty was absolutely lovely! So sweet and caring with our children and kept us updated throughout the night. ”
Hello! My name is Audrey and I am a licensed OT currently working in schools. I am looking for additional hours outside of work and to save some money. I’d love to help out you and your family! I have worked with children since I was a teenager, babysitting kids in the neighborhood and helping raise my younger brother with autism spectrum disorder. In high school, I nannied for two families for years. Their children ranged from 2-10 years old. Since living in Chicago (2020) I’ve worked with two families very closely to help their 5 month old babies in those early developmental stages. I am confident in working with children of all ages and abilities. As a school based OT, I work with students ages 2-22 years old. I enjoy providing experiences outside, crafting, art projects, sensory play, imaginary play, going for walks, and more. I am confident in my abilities and have a lot to offer to your family. I am vaccinated and boosted. I also have a car. I usually get home around 5 pm on week days, my weekends are usually free. Please contact me if you have any further questions. Have a great day!!! ~ Audrey
“We love Audrey! She is so attentive and patient with our 11-month-old and has been taking care of him for a few months now. We highly recommend booking with her if she is available!”

"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."
