Lilly $25 per hour for 1 child

A little about me: I am in my early twenties, just graduated from the University of Iowa and I work in advertising downtown. As for my experience with watching over kids, I have worked many years as a camp counselor at a high-end sailing camp in the British Virgin Islands, and have also been a student volunteer at a primary school in New Zealand. I have my CPR as well. I am the eldest of three, so caretaking has been a big part of my life! I've also been walking dogs, housekeeping, and petsitting since before I could drive a car ;) Please reach out to me if you need a weekly housekeeper, housesitter, babysitter, petsitter, or dog walker. I would be delighted to chat!

Briana $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, My name is Briana and I now live in Oak Park, IL! I have two years of experience working with ages 0-5 years in a daycare setting, and am looking to work intimately with a family in a babysitter/nannying role! I love to clean, organize, wash/fold laundry (no, seriously) and bake! I am very hands on and love to serve in any way I can. I believe that in any work setting, we are there to make your life easier so I would love to help out with these things if needed :) What makes me a great caregiver is that I always desire to be excellent in anything I am given. So that means asking questions, taking initiative and jumping in, finding ways to help out with the children or around the house, etc. I believe a great worker is a worker that never gives up!

Hana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hana and I recently moved to the Lincoln Park area for my job as a data analyst downtown, post my graduation from UW-Madison in May 2024. I am looking for some occasional or part time babysitting gigs, as I absolutely love working with and spending time with children and would like to spend more of my free time doing so. I have experience babysitting infants all the way up to 15 year olds, and have been babysitting since my freshman year of high school (about 9 years). I also have my CPR certification and my own car here! Please reach out with any other questions!

Hi! My name is Yazzy and I’m currently a regent graduate from Columbia College Chicago. I am offering childcare services & pet services. I love being a babysitter and I’ve worked as a nursery worker until recently so I have several experiences with newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 15 years old.

I have four dogs of my own and I’m very comfortable around all pets & will treat your fur-babies as one of my own.

"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."
