Hi there! I’m Clare and I’m very excited to join UrbanSitters! I have many years of experience working with children aged 4-15 through summer camps and a nature school! I’m also the oldest of four, so taking care of children has always been a part of my life. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats. Looking forward to meeting you!
Hi! Ny name is Joann, I am 19 years old from San Francisco, CA! I am an incoming sophomore at Loyola University Chicago studying business marketing. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have also worked as a swim instructor for kids ages 5 months to 14 year olds. My responsibilities have been pick up kids from school, serve dinner, play with them, clean the house a bit, and put them to bed. I have also been a dog sitter for the past 4 summers. I have either stayed at the house with the dog or just go and walk and feed the dog when instructed. I love both kids and animals! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
I am a public school kindergarten teaching looking for summer jobs! I have 15 years of teaching experience, mostly in preK and kindergarten, and several years of nanny experience including twins and newborns. I have my Masters degree in early childhood education and special training in teaching reading, so if your kiddo needs some summer tutoring, I might be a great fit for your family. I love getting outdoors and enjoying what Chicago has to offer during the summer. My temperament is calm and nurturing, and I focus on implementing consistent routines with the kids I work with.
Hi, my name is Theresa, and I am currently a preschool teacher with Gifted Children Academy, Chicago, IL. I am offering weekend Childcare and Senior Care services. I am a teacher by profession. I hold Associate Degree in Early Childhood, BSc in Elementary Education and Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Loyola University Chicago, IL. In more than 20 years of my teaching profession, I have worked with different ages of children from babies to middle school supporting and nurturing children’s social and emotional development as well as supporting their educational quest. As a Senior Caregiver, I have also assisted Seniors with Activities of Daily Living, helped in Meal preparation and medication reminder. Kept warm company, documented actions by completing forms, reports and records. I also encouraged fluid intake and helped with laundry, while maintaining a clean and healthy environment for my client. I would highly appreciate working in a SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT, because I can’t handle second-hand smoke. I would also prefer working with families that have cats, not dogs.
Currently, I'm a child therapist with a degree from the Erikson Institute. I have worked with children in a variety of settings, including daycare settings, mentorship roles, as a group facilitator, nannying, and as a coach for youth sports. I love working with kids, and I always hope to be an adult figure who is fun, attuned, thoughtful, respectful, and responsible.

"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."
