Hello there šš» I'm Kimberly Iām studying Disability and Human Development at UIC. I offer child care, senior care, and household help. Iāve been caring for kids of all ages and seniors, including those with Alzheimerās and dementia, for over 10 years. I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for kids with crafts, games, and storytime. Iāve also helped with schoolwork through my internship at Chicago HOPES for Kids. In addition to babysitting, I can help with cooking, cleaning, and errands. Iām available for occasional babysitting, including last-minute needs!
Hi!! Iām Sara and Iāve 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. Iām also a very proud auntie to 3 nieces and 1 nephew and Iām pretty sure Iāve been crowned as the favorite aunt for my great attentiveness, care, and most importantly FUN. 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 youāre looking for a creative, warm, and highly reliable caretaker or nanny, Iād love to get in touch with you!
Hi all! My name is America (named after a Mexican soccer team haha) and I am excited to provide child care, pet care, and household services. I currently work as a nanny Mon-Fri. I have been with this family for the last three years. I also work as a host at a restaurant on the weekends. I need to be busy! I love to work. I have been babysitting my entire life. I am the eldest daughter and eldest cousin in my family. Due to that luxury, I've taken care of newborns, infants, and toddlers for most of my life. Professionally, I have worked at a daycare as an assistant teacher. I occassionally spent time in the littles classrooms (1-3), though most of my time was spent with the Preschools kids (4+). Currently, I work with a family whose children are older (10+). I am very flexible working with many different ages due to my experience. I've worked with a range of kids with different personalities. I am flexible. I adapt to the child's needs as well as the parents. I am here to work with you and for you. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from NPU. A lot of my course-load was in personality, lifespan development, and behavior. I feel these classes have helped me become a better caregiver. I really love dogs and cats! My roommates and I have a dog and three cats. So much time is spent at home cuddling. I can also provide household services. I worked at a gym for some time and learned how to clean every nook and cranny. I can also run errands, those are typically my favorite because I love marking off lists. Happy to answer any questions you have for me. I am typically available Mon-Fri after my nanny shift (ends at/arouns 6). I am willing to work late into the night and can negotiate hourly fee/overnight fee if needed.
Bilingual (English/Spanish) UChicago grad with years of babysitting experience, from 3-month-old infants to toddlers age 5. Responsible, warm, and organized. Currently pursuing pre-med studies at Northwestern.
Hi! My name is Blessed and I am a current first grade teacher assistant as well as a masters student at Loyola University.

I am also CPR Certified as well.

"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
