Booked by 2 families in Vernon Hills, IL
Hello, I am currently in college and pursuing a degree in teaching. I absolutely love working with kids and have had lots of experience. I am currently a volunteer working in my churches kindergarten classroom and I have also worked with ages 0-12 at my church. I also dog/pet sit. I enjoy playing and planning activities to do with the children. Going for walks, doing chalk, and playing games are just a few things I enjoy. I have also worked at a summer camp at a park district last summer. I am willing to cook, clean, do laundry and run errands.
“Hannah was wonderful with our 3 year old. He said he had a lot of fun with her. She’s very good with kids and will make an amazing teacher one day. ”
Jonathan $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Jonathan, I am 22 years old, and I am a pediatric registered nurse. I have experience caring for children from newborns through 18 years old in both surgical transplant and general medicine settings. I love working with kids and also have personal experience babysitting my two nephews, from the time they were babies through their school-aged years. My responsibilities have included playing fun games, helping with homework, preparing meals, and keeping them safe and happy. Although I work full time with children as a nurse, I have four days off each week and would love to spend some of that time babysitting. I’m reliable, caring, and bring the same compassion I use in nursing to the families I work with.

Debbie $19 per hour for 1 child
Good day! I am Debbie and I’m 21 years old. I’m from the Philippines and English is my second language. Currently in my first year of my Nursing program mostly online. So to speak, I’ve been doing caregiving for seniors for about 2 years now as my part time job. I have decided to explore, and try to nanny children. I have younger siblings which is an advantage for me.
Lizbeth $20 per hour for 1 child
I am a patient, loving person who enjoys creating connections with the children I care for. I love being a part of their growth and fostering their autonomy and independence. I have over three years of experience caring for children of all ages, particularly with infants and toddlers, as well as certifications in First Aid and CPR. My skills range from meal preparation to sleep strategies. Being bilingual, I enjoy speaking with them in both Spanish and English while doing arts and crafts, playing, and learning together.

"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."
