Find a babysitter in Glenview, IL

Hello there, parents and families! My name is Emily, and I love and live to work with youth. I have been trusted with the sacred work of caring for children for nearly 20 years, and I've worked with every age group from 0-21 in various educational, extracurricular, and caregiving capacities. Some of these positions include teaching high school social studies AND working as a SpEd paraprofessional in Chicago from 2[removed]; teaching music classes to youth 0-12 in both Honolulu and Chicago; tutoring and mentoring at-risk elementary school students in school and after school in San Jose, CA; teaching Tiny Tots swim classes to young children in Mission Viejo, CA; and assistant teaching preschool in Evanston, IL. I’ve also been a full-time nanny for various families on and off of UrbanSitter. I love to read, write, sing, play piano/guitar, bike, hike, travel, and above all, LEARN!! The most exciting part of life to me is getting to learn new things—because there will never be a shortage of those, no matter your age. That’s why working with kids is so fulfilling—they are constantly learning, processing, and absorbing the world around them, and it’s an honor and a privilege to guide them through that process. As a caregiver, I always put safety first--no question. I am sensitive, intuitive, and considerate of the unique needs of all young people as individuals. I have a "warm demander" approach to discipline, using firm and consistent boundaries with children while maintaining a kind demeanor. You’ll tell in the way I'll engage with your children from the moment I meet them that I truly care about their personal, academic, and social/emotional development. I can’t wait to meet you and your littles! Send me a message and I’ll get back to you in a flash ✨

I am 28 years old, and a registered nurse. I have been babysitting for about 10 years and my experience includes working several different families here on Urbansitter, in my neighborhood, as well as some family children. I went to the University of Iowa and studied health and human physiology and graduated nursing school in 2023. I worked as a day camp recreation leader for day for 7 years with the chicago park district, which allowed me to increase my experience working with children. I enjoy working with children and keeping them entertained through different activities, whether its arts and crafts or playing outside. I am also cpr certified and fully vaccinated. I prefer zelle,cash or Venmo but can be flexible. I look forward to working with your family!

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.

Hello! My name is Allison, but I also go by Alli. I received a bachelor's and master's degree in Environmental Science, but art is also a large part of my life and I love to encourage creativity along with a love of nature! I live on the northwest side of Chicago with my grumpy senior dog. I am more than happy to help you and your family with homework, cleaning/chores, or meals. I'm also an animal lover and comfortable helping with most pets. I currently work a full-time standard Mon-Fri job (working with trees!) and am looking to supplement my income with occasional jobs or a part time role if it fits. I have used the Urban Sitter app off and on for many years and even worked a full-time nanny position found here for 8 months while I was in transition after grad school, so I'm very familiar and experienced with the work/app. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
