Hi! My name is Jawariya, but you can call me J. I’m a 28-year-old marketing professional with 11 years of hands-on babysitting experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and have worked with families both regularly and on an as-needed basis for evenings, weekends, and special occasions. My background includes years of consistent babysitting, as well as early experience through high school and college. I’m confident in my ability to multitask, keep children engaged, and maintain a safe, nurturing environment. Fun fact- I was in nursing school for 3 years and made a career change to marketing during COVID! I’m reliable, flexible with scheduling, and happy to provide references upon request. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Hi there! I'm Paula, a 29-year-old with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. From looking after my own younger brother to working in a kindergarten back home, my love for children has always been a driving force in my life. I used to be an Au Pair for a lovely family, taking care of 3 kids during 4 years. And currently, I'm happily taking care to two wonderful boys aged 3 and 1. I've been with them since they were 3 months old and newborn respectively, ensuring their well-being and happiness every step of the way. Being around children brings me joy, and I believe that there's always something new to learn from them. I approach childcare with love and dedication, making sure that your little ones are safe and happy under my care -CPR and First Aid certified - Responsible, punctual - Multitasking - Comfortable with pets - Spanish speaker - Usually work without supervision - Experience with food allergies - Own transportation
Hi I’m Jordan! I double majored at Purdue in psychology and law & society and graduated in 2024. I moved to Chicago for law school and I just finished up my first year. I have been providing childcare since I was about 16 years old and I’m first aid & cpr certified. I worked at a local daycare in my hometown for a summer. I was also a nanny my senior year and continued to nanny for that family until I left for college. While at Purdue, I worked at a daycare. I was a floater, so I worked in the infant room, multiage room, 2s room, and pre-k so I am comfortable with all ages! I am also comfortable with pets!
“Jordan is wonderful! She is kind, professional and timely. She was great with our 1.5 year old, and we highly recommend her!”
Master in psychology and education for kindergarten and elementary school Experience with small kids - IQ Ive been an au pair for 2 years Easygoing, friendly, with a lot of ideas how to provide entertainment for kids Active, healthy lifestyle Love children in all ages :)
“Sandra was wonderful!”
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.

"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."
