Brittany $23 per hour for 1 child
I have been a pediatric speech language pathologist for 14 years. Prior to beginning my career, I had extensive baby-sitting experience. I will provide care for my nephews and niece regularly. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition to providing speech and language services, I am also a feeding therapist. I am CPR-certified. I am just looking to do some work slightly outside of my career-field.
Dylan $19 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I just graduated from Columbia College Chicago! I have been babysitting since I can remember. I’m the oldest child of four. I have been a camp counselor, youth leader, babysitter, nanny - you name it haha! I love kids! I taught improv at ChiArts to high schoolers with a professor from Columbia! I just moved, post graduation, and would love to find some babysitting opportunities around the Logan Square area!
Nora $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Nora, I’m 19 years old, and I have 3–5 years of experience in child care, pet care, and household help. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, including past experience as a nanny for a family with five children and working at Schaumburg Kasper, an after-school program where I helped lead group activities and assist with homework. I also have experience caring for my grandmother, which gave me a strong sense of patience, compassion, and responsibility in senior care. At home, I take care of three dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy cooking, cleaning, and organizing—I find it rewarding to help families feel supported and stress-free. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to jump in wherever I’m needed!
Abbey $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi. I have just completed my first year of medical school and am working part time on a summer project in the city. I worked as a nanny and summer camp counselor throughout college, and thus have spent extensive time caring for children. I taught swim lessons, horse-back riding, and other camp-related activities. I have flexible hours this summer and am hoping to help out families as I can! I also have a car and can assist with transport.

"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."
