I am a 31 year old working and living in chicago. I enjoy being around children; their creativity and curiosity inspire me! Being the oldest of four siblings I understand the concern parents have for quality child care. I can offer transportation to or from school and activities. I am also happy to help with homework and prepare a meal. I am also cpr certified. I look forward to meeting you and your children!

Important notice: I will not be available until December 23rd. I won’t be available for any bookings until then. Hello. My name is Jenn, and I am a former K-3rd grade Art teacher and currently an English teacher in Spain. I will be back in Chicago soon and would love to continue connecting with families. I have worked with children of various ages and love keeping them active and engaged in fun activities. I speak both English and Spanish and have experience teaching Spanish as well. I have two cats, so I don't mind taking care of pets as well. I am a very outgoing person with a bubbly personality. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I am a single mom of two (ages 10 and 8). I work as occupational therapist and have knowledge of child development as a mother but also in my profession. I am looking for some additional work when the kids are with their father. I live in the north side of Chicago and able to drive , preferably close to home.
“Rhea is our favorite babysitter! She is so good with kids and has alot of experience since she has kids of her own. We’re so thankful that we found Rhea. My kid likes her a lot and has been asking when Rhea will come over again. ”
Hi there! My name is Alexa and I am based in North Center! I have about 15 years of experience working with kids and hope to get back into working with local families and babysitting again. I used to work with kids all the time but slowed down when I had a full-time job. I still have a full-time job however my schedule allows me afternoons free and I thought I would see if I can fill any afterschool/date night babysitting needs! I have worked with kids of all ages (newborn to preteens who just need overseeing to make sure the house doesn't burn down!) and was also a camp counselor for many summers in highschool and college. During college, I worked at Lakeshore Sport and Fitness as a daycare staff member and also ran their preschool transitions program as their lead team member. I ended up becoming a regular sitter for many families from Lakeshore (hence the lack of Urban Sitter activity!) I am open to regular date night sitting, after school sitting, overnights, weekend afternoons etc. I have worked with all age ranges and am comfortable with any and all. I drive but do not have my own car. In addition to sitting I am happy to help with light house work, and also any family events (kids birthdays set up, craft plans, coordinating, etc!) Please feel free to send me a message, and I am happy to provide references! Thank you!
“Alexa was punctual, quick to respond to messages or questions, and had a positive attitude. Alexa followed my instructions and seemed to enjoy playing with my 5mo son. ”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
