Howdy! My name is Madison (but I go by Maddi as well, whichever you prefer). I am an environmental scientist and researcher by trade but engage in care giving on the side. A little bit about me: I am the eldest daughter among 6 siblings. As such, I have plenty of practical experience in addition to my years of babysitting while getting my undergraduate and graduate degrees. Regarding my personality and hobbies, I love music, art, learning, and outdoor recreation. I am a multi-instrumentalist musician - I can sing and play the guitar, piano, and ukelele. I listen to a lot of music on the daily and I like to play, listen, and dance to music with the kids I babysit. I enjoy getting in touch with my creative side as much as I can. I love painting, drawing, making random crafts. I also really enjoy reading, going to the library, and going outside whenever I get the chance. Depending on the age of your kids, I am able to help with homework and school work, (particularly with science, english, history, and some lower level maths). I like to engage kids in fun activities and see tv, cell phone usage, and other electronics as more of last resort entertainment methods. I try to stay off of my phone as much as possible when I'm babysitting so that I’m able to be present and engaged. I find that this allows kids to have more fun and also be more present with me. I drive a fully insured, completely up-to-date on maintenance 2021 Toyota Rav4, so I'm able to drop off/pick up kids from school and/or other activities in my own vehicle. I am also comfortable driving other SUVs, trucks, and sedan vehicles as well, so whatever works best for you works for me! I have a spotless driving record and take car safety extremely seriously. I am mainly looking for one-off opportunities and am able to do overnight stays during the week and weekends as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this! I look forward to meeting with you and your little ones!

Hi! I’m a registered nurse from California moving to Englewood and looking for occasional babysitting opportunities before I start my nursing job. I have 14+ years of experience working with children. I studied Pedagogy and worked as a teacher in Brazil before moving to the U.S. as an au pair. I’m caring, responsible, CPR certified, and truly love working with kids! 😊

“Aline has been great with our 2 young daughters (5 months old and 2 year old), she was very communicative, both our daughters enjoyed their time with her, and we are looking forward to her help for next times!”

Hi! I'm a nanny and (pre-pandemic) elementary/middle school substitute teacher, with a wide range of experience with children of varying ages, needs and abilities. In addition to nannying and babysitting, I've been a preschool teaching assistant, swim lesson instructor, lifeguard and tutor. I pride myself on building loving and respectful relationships with children while also keeping them safe, healthy and supporting them as they learn to be full humans. I look forward to meeting you and your littles, not-so-littles and teens! *Currently booked up for summer/fall ‘22 but please do not hesitate to reach out if you’re in need evenings/weekends/overnights, backup sitters or pet care* ***In order for me to enter your home, all eligible adults and children over the age of 5 must be vaccinated for Covid-19. This is non-negotiable.***

Hi – I’m Jen! I am a young professional working for a local insurance brokerage firm doing Health & Benefits Consulting for companies. I am looking for a fun way to earn some extra money. I love kids and decided to try Urban Sitter. I grew up with a younger brother & sister (twins), as well as many younger cousins. My first job was babysitting family and neighbors. In high school I became a nanny for 3 elementary aged girls. My most recent experience has been with newborns/toddlers. I have a 6 year old niece and a 3 year old nephew, who I am very close with (they would give me rave reviews). I also have friends who are new parents. I enjoy playing with kids, doing crafts, being creative and if the weather is nice heading outdoors. I would be more than happy to help with homework and/or tutoring as well. I look forward to meeting you and your kids! ***Depending on location/date/time I may require a minimum of 4 hours for bookings. Thank you in advance for your understanding!***

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
