Hi there, my name is Becca! I am a registered nurse and a recent graduate of North Park University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing l. I have experience with newborns to preteens. I have worked in a nursery for the past 9 years and through this experience I have learned to take on a very patient, kind, calm, adaptable, creative nature to connect with children. I enjoy implementing milestone activities with young children along with reading books, and doing arts and crafts during our time. In my own free time I love to bake, hike, read, and travel. I also am a lover of animals! I am newer to UrbanSitter and I would greatly appreciate an opportunity! I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with your family and to get to know your children!

“Hands down best sitter! Becca was on time and immediately jumped in getting to know our kids. She had no problem navigating bedtime and tidied up. We appreciated her flexibility and communication but most impressive, she really engaged our kiddos right when she walked through the door.”

Hi.My name is Stefany, I am 31 years old, currently residing in the northwest side of Chicago. I’m currently looking for few part time morning/evenings or overnight weekend stays. Whether it’s to step out and run to get errands done, dinner with a friend, a date night with your spouse, you name it. I’m here to help! I have experience with kids as long as I can remember. Babysitting was second nature to us. Migrating from Guatemala , my mother’s specialty was babysitting but primarily teaching . However struggles came in the way , the language barrier being one of them provided me with my first job at 8 years old as a translator . . I not only was “working” but it served me as it helped me practice my second language but most importantly I found much meaning and value in my mothers work...I loved going, I was able to make friends with their kids , build relationships and left inspired . Along the way, I was blessed with having nephews and nieces. Nine now! Growing up as a tight-knit family we’re always around to help each other out. Fast forward to my late teen years into young adulthood I started taking babysitting gigs as side jobs. I enjoy not only watching after kids but being able to not only be a teacher to them but most importantly learn from children themselves . They carry much gifts and help remind us about the meaning of what life really is about I hope to be able to share this with you and your family. Look forward to meeting and working with you!

I'm Amber, nice to meet you! My background is rooted in deep adaptability, resilience, and a genuine warmth and passion for helping others. I possess a unique level of empathy and emotional intelligence that allows me to tune in to the needs of the people and environments I care for. When it comes to qualities that make me a great caregiver, I pride myself on being grounded, observant, reliable, and protective of the peace and safety of those in my care. My talents include a natural warmth, aiming to add some sunshine to the environment! Exceptional organization, clear communication, and an intuitive knack for anticipating needs before they could become stressful. My hands-on experience spans several areas: •Seniors: I bring a deep sense of patience, respect, and attentive care when supporting older adults, ensuring their daily needs, comfort, and safety are always prioritized. •Kids: I am reliable, creative, and firm yet gentle, creating a structured, safe, and engaging environment where children feel happy, secure, and valued. •Pets: I have a natural pull and attentiveness toward animals, ensuring they receive the active care, routine, affection, and play time that they deserve. •Household Services: I take great pride in maintaining clean, orderly, and peaceful living spaces, understanding that a well-kept home directly contributes to mental clarity and well-being. Ultimately, my experience has taught me how to be patient, stay calm under pressure, pivot when unexpected challenges arise, and pour genuine heart into everything I do! Looking forward to helping your family however I can:)
