Hi, My name is Charmaine. I am a graduate student from Governors State University. Currently working as a lead toddler teacher at Little Green Treehouse. I have been working with kids since I was sixteen years old. I started babysitting my younger siblings. Then, move to babysitting for my church members and mentors. I love children and I love to help out on my free time :)
I am a former CNA. Currently I am a certified Pediatric Phlebotomist and EKG technician in a hospital. I speak English and Spanish fluently and have plenty of experience working with babies and children. I have worked independently with clients with Alzheimer's disease as well. Activities I engage with children include reading time, arts and crafts, coloring, playing, going for walks, visiting museums or zoo, etc.
Hi there, my name is Courtney and I am currently 34 years old. I have my Master’s 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!
“Courtney was great. Very attentive and a positive demeanor”
Hi! My name is Ally and I'm a School Social Worker at an elementary school. I work primarily with students who are PreK-2nd grade. I am offering child care and pet care. I love spending time with kids and have been babysitting various ages since I was 15 years old. I enjoy doing anything (games, crafts, helping with homework, driving to activities, etc)! I am CPR certified and have taken many courses for my career related to social emotional skills and regulation. I have also watched both pets since I was 13 years old. I love dogs and cats, and am comfortable with any breed or size. I have a German Shepherd, so I’m also used to hair :)
I graduated with a child development degree from The Ohio State University, and have 4 years of professional experience as both a nanny and a babysitter. I have traveled with family’s through the US and internationally, as well as watched children for extended periods of times while their parents traveled. I have babysat children with allergies, learning disabilities and physical disabilities. I am first aid and CPR certified, as the safety and well being of your children is always my number one priority. I love pets, especially dogs, and am happy to help walk or care for them. I’m so excited to meet you and your family!

"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
