A little about me: I am in my early twenties, just graduated from the University of Iowa and I work in advertising downtown. As for my experience with watching over kids, I have worked many years as a camp counselor at a high-end sailing camp in the British Virgin Islands, and have also been a student volunteer at a primary school in New Zealand. I have my CPR as well. I am the eldest of three, so caretaking has been a big part of my life! I've also been walking dogs, housekeeping, and petsitting since before I could drive a car ;) Please reach out to me if you need a weekly housekeeper, housesitter, babysitter, petsitter, or dog walker. I would be delighted to chat!
Hi! I am Sydne! I just moved to Chicago with my sister after graduating from the University of Arizona this past year! I am beginning work at Lurie Children’s Hospital as a Registered Nurse this fall! I have been a sitter/ nanny for the last 7 years and keep doing it because I love spending time with kids and helping them grow into kind & inquisitive individuals. I am excited to meet new families and kids in the Chicago area!
Hi-my name is Arianna and I’m a Chicago native! I’ve been working in childcare since I was an early teenager, from volunteer work to nannying in recent years. I have experience from neonatal care all the way to school age children, but have a soft spot for infants. As a medical assistant, I’m trained and certified in BLS and CPR and have a vast knowledge on medical conditions and treatments. I can administer medications and provide wound care when medically indicated. I’m also available for household errands and have my own car and have never been in an accident. I’m more than flexible to help meet your needs!
Hello !! My name is Norma , I also speak Spanish ,I’m offering child care , señor care and household services . I have experience since I use to take care of my grand kids.
Hi - My name is Gisele and I'm currently a nursing student going for my masters degree while finding my passion and future specialty. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I am open to taking care of pets in addition, as long as the animal is trained and low maintenance. As the 4th in a line of 5 siblings I have extensive experience with toddlers and young children. As a caregiver, my grandmother was my 1st client. I begged my mother to pull her out of the nursing home (after seeing how she was treated there) and to allow me to take care of her full time while I finished high school via homeschooling. I received proper training and several certifications from Help at Home, SEIU for HSP, and many other certifications that have contributed to my over all success as a caregiver giver over the cumulative 6 year time span. Additionally, I have experience with dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s. My duties as a caregiver have included (but not limited to) escort shifts (doctor’s appts / running errands), medication reminders and management, as well as household management. My specialty with children as well as senior clients are centered around enrichment and mental development. I am CPR certified, have my own vehicle and have a fingerprint record in the IL registry. As previously mentioned I can also function as a household assistant or manager. I ran a department for a South Suburban township for 5 years. This role required me to create and maintain tracking software, track application invoices, scheduling across 4 different calendars, run reports and administer training. On top of conducting intake for my own clients. While my employment history is colorful, I do believe my experience makes me uniquely suited for a multitude of tasks. Needless to say I can handle anything throw at me and am always willing to learn something new. All clients are considered family!! Lets keep building it together!

"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
