Since September of 2022, I have worked as a Preschool assistant for ages 5 and below, feeding the kids, playing with them, changing diapers, and helping with nap time. I have experience with setting up routine for kids, and I have dealt with a variety of behaviors in the classrooms I have been in. I would be happy to provide a message of recommendation from coworkers and supervisors. I also have had general baby sitting experience my whole life for ages 12 and under. I recently completed my Bachelors degree in a liberal arts major, and this past summer I took a child development course though City Colleges of Chicago. I also have been working through various Illinois Gateways online trainings regarding early childhood education. As for pets, I have owned nearly a total of 20 cats through my lifetime and have plenty of experience with caring for them. I also have had experience house sitting for my father and taking care of his two dogs. As for other animals, if I have instructions for care there is no limit to the animals I could care for. I love caretaking because it is so special to me to get to know someone so little and learn the best ways to connect with them and take care of them. Every child deserves care and attention, and I would like to help out parents so that they know their child is with someone who will be taking the best possible care of them.
“Lisa was on time, very friendly, and connected with the kids right away. Great sitter! ”
Hi!! I’m Sara and I’ve been a babysitter for more than 10 years. I love working with kids and have done so quite a bit in various settings, including as a teacher for after-school programs and as a camp counselor in summer gardening and swim camps. I’m also a very proud auntie to 3 nieces and 1 soon-to-be nephew and I’m pretty sure I’ve been crowned as the favorite aunt for my great attentiveness, care, and most importantly FUN (shhh don’t tell my siblings). Some of my hobbies include baking, cooking, gardening, hiking (or being outside in general), swimming, and painting. Lastly about me, I speak Spanish and some Arabic and have a pet Cockatiel named Paco :) If you’re looking for a creative, warm, and highly reliable caretaker or nanny, I’d love to get in touch with you!

Hi there! I’m Clare and I’m very excited to join UrbanSitters! I have many years of experience working with children aged 4-15 through summer camps and a nature school!

Hi! Ny name is Joann, I am 19 years old from San Francisco, CA! I am an incoming sophomore at Loyola University Chicago studying business marketing. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have also worked as a swim instructor for kids ages 5 months to 14 year olds. My responsibilities have been pick up kids from school, serve dinner, play with them, clean the house a bit, and put them to bed. I have also been a dog sitter for the past 4 summers. I have either stayed at the house with the dog or just go and walk and feed the dog when instructed. I love both kids and animals! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

"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."
