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!
“Alli is a wonderful sitter. Cheerful, capable, and trustworthy. My son had a great time with her.”

Hi, I'm Cece (short for Mareecia)! I'm a babysitter, nanny, and tutor with over 8 years of experience, combining structured learning with warmth and creativity. I'm open to all ages, though I'm most comfortable and experienced with children ages 2-10. My experience spans from summer camp counseling (ages 1-10) to remote tutoring in reading, writing, and study skills (ages 6-12). I offer more than just childcare: I'm a tutor + nanny in one, providing homework help, engaging activities, and a calm, positive routine to support your child's growth. Beyond caregiving, I bring a high level of professionalism and reliability from my corporate background at JPMorgan and Accenture. I'm also a writer, creator, and outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking and snowboarding. Currently, I'm learning Spanish, Italian, and French. Top Skills: Structured Routines: Skilled at creating calm, predictable schedules. Positive Engagement: Using redirection and enthusiasm to create a great environment. Academic Support: Expert in reading/writing for ages 6-12. I'm passionate about making a difference in children's lives and would love to connect with your family!
“CeCe is on it! She arrived ready to play with the girls (6 and 3). She asked for emergency contact info and then took the girls to the park as my husband and I made our way out. The girls had a fun night with her. There were no issues with the bedtime routine. They want her back for sure!”

$25 per hour for 1 child
My name is Sheila, and I have over 10 years of experience providing childcare in both daycare and private nanny settings. I am a dependable, nurturing, and responsible childcare professional who is passionate about supporting children’s safety, well-being, and development. I have experience caring for children, planning age-appropriate educational activities, and creating engaging learning environments. I enjoy organizing arts and crafts, educational games, and recreational outings, including visits to zoos, museums, and libraries. In addition to providing attentive childcare, I am willing to assist with child-related household responsibilities, including children’s laundry, organizing play areas, tidying children’s bedrooms, and helping with kitchen cleanup as needed. I am also comfortable working in households with cats and dogs. I have my own reliable transportation and report holding CPR and First Aid certifications. I can provide references upon request. My goal is to provide families with dependable, compassionate, and high-quality childcare while creating a safe, positive, and enriching environment for every child in my care.
“I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly recommend Sheila Williams for a position as a nanny. Sheila has taken care of both our sons over the last 5 years — our first from 2022–2023 and our second from 2025–2026. She has become a cherished member of our family and a real friend. We could not have asked for a better person to help us raise happy, healthy, and engaged children. Sheila has been nothing short of exceptional in her role as a nanny. One of the most remarkable qualities about Sheila is her level of engagement. She is present at all times, making sure to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment. She has an innate sense for what they need, whether it's comfort, entertainment, or learning opportunities, and responds accordingly. She consistently plans a variety of activities that keep them active and engaged. She is particularly creative when it comes to arts and crafts, often working on projects that are both fun and educational. They also attend weekly story times at several libraries in the area. Beyond indoor activities, Sheila makes it a point to spend as much time as possible outdoors, whether it be going for walks or playing in the park. She also regularly organizes playdates with other children in our neighborhood, and loves to plan outings to the zoo and children's museum. What makes Sheila stand out is her warmth and love toward our sons. She treats them as if they were her own, and adapts her style to each of their unique temperaments. As a mother herself, it's clear that her maternal instincts extend into her professional life, and we couldn't be more grateful for that. In summary, Sheila is an extraordinary nanny who combines practical skills with genuine love and warmth. We trust her implicitly and can't recommend her enough to any family seeking an individual who will treat their child as her own. Please feel free to contact me for any more information or clarification. I am confident that Sheila will continue to excel in her career as a nanny and enrich the lives of another family just as she has ours.”
