NEW clients: Please message me before offering a job. I often get requests that expire before I can take action, job offers that have no information, or requests for schedules I cannot accommodate. I feel much more comfortable and safe accepting an offer with a family that has read my profile clearly and that provides complete information. My calendar is very well-kept and frequently updated. I a currently on leave from my full time daycare job and have a bit more flexibility with my schedule. -Pre-K teacher with 8 years of daycare/preschool experience -passionate about arts and antiracism -queer-friendly -pet-friendly -exp. caring for infants-middle schoolers
“Alex was friendly and caring from the start. Our 17 month old had a great time and was appeared to be looking for Alex after she went home. Our toddler was having a hard time napping and Alex used her skills from working in childcare to keep her on schedule - thank you Alex!”

Hi! My name is Julia and I’m a college grad from DePaul. I have my bachelors in psychology with a concentration in human development, and currently work full time as a nanny to a 2 year old girl and two elementary aged boys. I love working with all ages of kids, and am hoping to find parents looking for a regular date night sitter on the weekends when I am not nannying. I have my own car for transportation, and am comfortable working with pets. Aside from my current nannying job, I have been working with children for the last 8 years throughout high school and college. I am CPR certified and feel comfortable caring for children over 6 months of age. I enjoy getting creative and having fun with the kids I sit for, and am also very comfortable at handling bed times and getting kiddos to sleep. I’m happy to set up a phone call or zoom meeting to chat further if you are interested :)

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.”
